Pic from RG: http://www.rolandgarros....1205231337761374713.html

Tiger remember back in 2007 when I kept telling these lovesick fans to concentrate on one game at a time and not look straight at the Qtrs and Semis to see who she would be playing? Well they never learn. back then she was getting beaten in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, by a lot of surprising Qualifiers. One springs to mind at the US Open in 2007. She was the defending Champ and was knocked out in the second round by an unknown qualifier called Ursula Radwanska. These things happen...remember the AO and Kirilenko...1st Round. Well, they are at it again. Sure, Serena is a threat, but then, so are a lot of other players 'on the day'. RG is known for its suprises. Nothing is certain at this Slam. One match at a time boys and girls. Keep an eye on the other matches and who is getting some good results. Enjoy the sport ...dont just drool over your idol...educate yourselves.

Yes, they were indeed the days when the Guylian Empire had something to offer in the way of fierce competition for the Princess. But, finally the Guylian Princess has hung up her light racket and is settling down for a Life of Brian.

Maria plays in a black dress at RG this year. Top part will be olive green, the rest is black . Interesting choice. As always it will look elegant. Can't wait to see it next week or might she play on Sunday already ?

Draw released. Serena + Woz + Maria in bottom corner....


Oh well, she would have to face her, eventually.


Azarenka vs Stosur could also be another exciting match up for top quarter, and we also have Li and Petra in the other bottom quarter. Aga's quarter looks pretty.... easy.


Again, the strength of the bottom half far outweighs that of the top.... or maybe im just biased.


 


Wait no, i looked properly and Aga could face Venus rd2. This could be more interesting than i thought. Can anyone find Barthel? She's always one of those floaters i get really anxious about.


 


Edit for the 3rd time. Barthel and Li could meet 3rd round. Hmmm, a lot of interesting match ups early. I don't see anyone beating Masha till the Quarters where she 'potentially' faces He woman. Hmmmm, everyone else's thoughts?


4th edit because im extremely pissed Vika seems to have it easy till the final, Aga will rollover in the semis against Vika as she usually does. Stosur is our only hope!

LOL the draw is HILARIOUS! :D

Cant wait to hear Paul's opinion about it!

In any case, it is a Grand Slam and as everyone said potential threat is every single player out there. So if it comes down to Maria against Serena, then so be it. But lets get there first in one piece and then we will see. You know my opinion, that I want Maria to play Serena sa many times as possible in order to get beter against her.

Asked Chris Evert in twitter how dangerous those pre-RG as Brussels are...injuries, etc...

@luke_neo @rolandgarros Clay is very physically demanding - more balls being hit, more running... Doesn't surprise me! #cetwinic #tennis

Crap Sweathog in the QF's!!!!!! Well let's make it there first. Serena will have to go thru Julia and Princess to make it however and she regularly crashes and burns early on at RG. If she is serving more than a dozen aces a match, like she has been, she is almost impossible to beat. Vika does seem to have a pretty easy draw, but she is seeded first, so the odds favor her getting a good draw. Well we shall see. Maria will likely have to conquer her demon if she is to get her missing slam this time around and would she really want it any other way?? She plays her best when she has a tougher draw.
Come On Maria do this thing for my dad!!!!
Masha is my #1!!

Maria, I wish you a great time in Paris , enjoy , " it isn't over untill I say it is " !!
I rest my case. It is meant to be !  Tough draw. Deep down if I am honest with myself.....no , no GS. Serena "owns " Maria already for years. I do not expect something will change this year. Good chance in Madrid but no again !!!  Pffff, WHY ??

It is not a trouble. All tennis players who wants to win the Roland Garros tournament have to defeat Serena Williams too. 


So they are all ready for that and not only Sharapova.

Price said a championship at Roland Garros "would be huge" for Serena, because it would make clear that "it doesn't look like she's ready to quit" at 30 years old.


Asked whether her younger daughter is ready to get her name etched on another Grand Slam trophy, Price chuckled.


"For sure," she said. "You know Serena. She's got to be on the list at least once a year, right?"


One challenging step along the way over the next two weeks could come in the quarterfinals, where Serena might have to face three-time major champion Maria Sharapova, who is seeded second and also a popular pick.


"She's such an experienced player that has been under so many different circumstances and achieved so much in her career," Sharapova said. "When she's fit, she's extremely strong on the court and hits a very powerful ball. That makes her very dangerous."

Masha's team are working for the victory. Results are important. 


There is always a solution to defeat a tennis player who hits powerful balls.


Just think about it. 


"I'd love to open a tennis school for children in my hometown of Sochi." said Sharapova Maria.
