    Federer only won 4 games in the 2008 final. Almost 40 years old now.
    I wouldn't think it's that unlikely tbh.

    You selectively pick the one match he was hammered. What about the other 4 matches at Roland Garros in 05, 06, 07 and 11 where they all went to 4 sets?

    Good start for Konta in her semi final match. Conditions look brutal.

    Anisimova was 5-0 down in that set and came back and won it.

    Nadal has broken Federer in his first service game.
    Court seems half empty.
    Although the upper sections are fuller

    1 game to Federer.
    EagererBeaver's 9 games or less bet will keep my interest in what otherwise is a pretty foregone conclusion :)

    This has potential to be a great game possibly 5 setter. If Roger keeps pushing him deep

    Roger is playing well ,backhand is holding up well .
    Not sure how Nadal won that first set, Federer played the better tennis.

    I agree. Think Nadal looks a shadow of what is required to win RG at the minute.

    Played well for the first half of the set but was very passive in the last few games. Thought he would be doing a lot more serving and volleying.

    Doesnt work aswell on the clay as on clay players stand way back of the baseline on receiving so send it long it's alot harder to volley on a heavy clay court with the distance quite far off the net.

    Can play be suspended due to wind or just rain?
