And here's my big tirade of the day. Ok, NBC, you know that this final is in PARIS and yet you still don't find someone who might be able to translate the trophy ceremony properly? Year after year, we get Ted's complete farce of a translation. I swear he was just guessing - and because he talks over the players I couldn't even tell half the time what was really being said. Disgusting. That was a weird part for me too. I was sad about Fed losing, hearing the regulars for NBC after hearing ESPN's commentator, (I forget their names, but one of them was french and I thought they were awesme) and then when they couldn't translate....it was a sad finals hehe. I love him! After watching Fed lose again I thought wouldn't Roddick love this? beating Fed would boost his confidence so much, if only he could make the finals.

Hee, honestly, there wasn't that much drama for me this French Open.
Djokovic didn't make the final (yay!) and I love both Rafa and Feds. So really... I truly didn't care who won, though I feel a bit bad for Feds that he lost SO badly.
Henin retired and even Shrieky (whom I don't REALLY dislike) didn't make the finals. So there wasn't any truly visceral emotion there either. I mildly like both Safina and Ivanovic.

Wow. I was really surprised about the final. I taped it and watched it later because I'm a wuss. I am really happy for Rafa. He was amazing today. I really hope Rafa can continue this agressive play at Wimbledon and for the rest of the year. I would love for Rafa to be able to win a Slam on another surface. As for Fed, I felt so bad for him. He didn't play well at all and Rafa was playing so great.
I will be 75% behind Fed for Wimbledon and 25% behind Rafa (though those percentages might change by the time the tournament comes around, heh). Hopefully, it will come down to him and Rafa for the final. But I am really worried about Djoko spoiling everything. I hope someone can take him out. I'll actually be happy with anyone winning except him.

Here's an article about Ana. I thought it was interesting since we've been discussing her personality and her media image. I'm going to repost this in the main thread.
