Roland Garros. . .It's about Time.

So it’s finally June, and that means one thing, Roland Garros—The French Open. The biggest story this year has to be Robin Soderling’s victory over #1 seeded Raphael Nadal. Check out this Youtube video that not only briefly summarizes the victory, but describes the records that are on the line for each player.


It's easy to see how these Grand Slam tournaments become more than just another tennis match for the participating players. There are records and reputations that are being played for too.

It is refreshing to see a player like Soderling "slam" the tennis circuit and give us all a fresh breath of underdog excitement. For the past three years it's been a Nadal vs. Federer final. Finally we have some new blood to cheer for with our hearts. Check out this YouTube video for a six-minute analysis of how Soderling was able to break down Nadal.

Of course it is impossible to tell what will happen from here (click here for a live score feed), but one thing is for sure, Soderling definitely has the eyes of the tennis world. Can it be done?
