Yup, it's the red clay season in tennis. Roger Federer lost today to Radek Stepanek 7-6(4) 7-6(7) at the Roma ATP Master Series tournament, a few days after Rafael Nadal suffered a shock loss on clay. It was Federer's sixth loss of the year; in 2007 he lost nine matches.Dinara Safina defeated World #1 Justine Henin and Serena Williams in consecutive matcheson consecutive days at the German Open. Henin had made the finals of this tournament 6 years in a row (winning 3 times) and Serena was on a sixteen match winning streak. Safina beat Serena 2-6, 6-1, 7-6(5) and Henin 5-7 6-3 6-1.
Lousy day for this tennis fan :(. All I have to say is go Nole, go! Blake choked away that match, but, I do like Stanislas, easy on the eyes, so, it was a draw in that match. Roddick? At this point, I just don't care what he does anymore. Roger? Prayer is in order, something is just wrong with him this year to my disappointment.
ReplyDeleteSerena?? She will remember this loss for a long time to come!
