falafaclese, mine too. My biggest issue (except that crazy idea I had of getting Petrova to the finals) is the first round match between Azarenko and Dulko. I feel like that is an upset in the making but once I made the decision to choose Azarenko, I then have to have her win a couple of matches because of the matchups. That'll hurt if Dulko does pull off the upset.

Why yes it is. I don't believe I've ever seen Blaz before. Blaz is a cool name too.

I generally find Azarenka matches annoying to watch (due to the noise and her attitude problem) but she's about to burst into tears and it's horrifying.
Sadly, I see this as a recurring theme in ladies' matches in the next few days with the number of players having health and/or mental issues.

mooncreek I usually feast on Vika's bad behavior but desperate crying is no fun to watch.
And does anyone know what happened to Dinara and Zelko apparently they are on a break- the wording could be a translation thing but it makes it sound like they were dating.

Crap. I meant to put this post in the FO thread. I'll post it in both.
We didn't make up French curses in high school. We were all about making up sex phrases and then telling our Spanish taking frenemies that they were curses. Like "Je donne la tete bonne." I didn't get the accents right and it's probably all spelled wrong, but it should mean "I give good head." It's been a while.
I am too busy right now cursing the fucking Frenchies for all they are worth! Verdasco was COMPLETELY justified because I've just found out that Eli and Araz aren't doing Radio Roland Garros. WHAT THE FUCK? I look forward to those guys to cracking me up all year. I like to put on RRG and mute the TV. I was developing a hot email relationship with them over the last couple years. Eli once said on the radio "Ah my lovely Meechelle, there are some emails that are very very funny but we cannot read them on the radio. You make us laugh." I had written expressing my fear that Daddy Djokovic was going to come beat them for them criticizing Djokovic on air.
This Gigi person is dull as fuck. She needs a friend in the booth to talk to instead of rabbiting on about nothing. She ignored every bit of Benneteau's break of Gulbis until the game was over and then gave a detailed description of Ernests posture in his chair.
Nick Lester? Have I heard him before? British guy? Does Masters tourneys? I'm stomping around now. At least that Sandra person is gone. Matt Cronin is a constant suckup. Craig Gabriel isn't ringing any bells either.
I like the "wetting our pants giggling" of Eli and Araz at the French and then the dry British humor of radio Wimbledon.
FUCK. FUCK FUCK FUCK. In fact! I shit in his mother fucking, fucking mother, host, fucking shit, French... fucking fucking son French of the balls. ("French of the balls" is going to be my insult for the next two weeks. Maybe through Wimbledon.)
French of the Balls I Say!

*sob* I ended up going with Azarenko. Oh, why didn't I listen to my heart (and the TTC commercials that I saw a million times where Dulko talks about how much she likes the clay)?
Ugh. That Kirilenko/Sprem match was painful to watch in the 2nd set. I hope Gulbis/Benneteau is fun 'cause that's what I've got next. And Gulbis is hurt. Oy.
The women are falling like flies. Bye bye, Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez. She lost to someone I have never, ever even heard of.

My draw didn't take long to get destroyed. While I wasn't too concerned regarding Azarenka losing (I had her 3rd round, I think), I did have MJMS making a deep run.

Yeah, that little bit of the draw is going to be a lot of red for me. I had Azarenko meeting Martinez Sanchez in the third round with MJMS winning. Now Demetieva better hold on 'cause I have her winning that match up.
Benneteau looks exactly like he always has, except older. It's like he was put through one of those FBI missing-persons-aging-computer programs.
Ugh. They just showed a piece about the food at Roland Garros and they had the stereotypical American say he was eating a hot dog. "Not snails or anything." Yeesh.
eta: Poor Gulbis. And, because I'm a selfish person, damn, I had him going far.

I guess Federer is breathing a little easier now that Gulbis is gone. Both my brackets are messed up and coverage hasn't even begun in Toronto.

I really love Venus' dress! The black lace is hot!
Poor Ernie I hope he's not too injured.

Ah, there's nothing like waking up to Roland Garros on a lazy, cloudy Sunday. Here's hoping for a great tourney.

I am watching Venus' match on DirecTV's French Open mix and this commentator seems to be talking to himself or his partner isn't responding. Is it just me? He says stuff and expects a response but I'm not hearing anything. It's ridiculous.
