French open

Bye Bye Murray

Huge shock…

A British man started the match but a Scotsman finished it. :pint:

Not that much of a shock, Gonzalez is a smart player on clay.

Bit surprised that Soderling got the better of Gonzalez. Thought Federer v Del Potro would go to 5 alright. Hope Federer does it as there’s something unlikeable about Soderling.

Don’t give a shit about the women’s but am looking forward to a big Wimbledon out of Carla Suarez Navarro.

Soderling 4-1 down in the last too. Great battling to win it. Great game to watch too. Federer game was decent too. Del Potro must be one of the worst 1st servers around. Think he had 40% success getting his 1st serve in in the last set. Only 20 though I think, his time will come.

Good digging my Fed yesterday to come through that, hope to fook he manages to win this tomorrow, could be the best ever chance he has.

Any money on him?
What was he priced before Nadal was knocked out anyone know?
Soderling is 7-2 for the win.

Think somebody mentioned something like 8/1 on here at some stage.

Kuznetsova won a boring final in the end 6-4 6-2

Safina beaten? Jaysus.

Two beasts, very true.

Safina was rubbish. Looked tired anyway. Match ended on a Safina double fault too.

Only recently realise Safina and Safin are brother and sister, should hav guessed.

Or are they the same person…

You may have a point…

Favs don’t often lose finals but I have a feeling Soderling might scrape it today, would shake things up nicely ahead of Wimbledon, and push out Federer’s outright price.

He is good value at 10/3 imo

Federer won easily in straight sets in the end. He becomes only the 6th man to win each of the 4 Grand Slam tournaments and also equals Sampras’s record of 14 titles.

Well done Roger Federer! The Grand Slam, what an athlete.

R Soderling v R Federer 1-6 6-7 4-6
