My Rafael Nadal Defeat

You didn't think I was not going to mention Nadal's first loss on Roland Garros clay, did you? With Nadal out, Djokovic out and Roddick out, Roger Federer and his fans has got to be breathing a little bit easier going into the second week of the French Open. Can Fed finally capture that 14th Grand Slam title and tie Pete Sampras? Or will Juan Del Potro and the surging Andy Murray (ugh) get their first? Either way, I'm just glad Nadal's reign on French clay is over. 

My French Open Seedings

Darn it. I was hoping when the draw came out for the French Open this weekend, I would see Novak Djokovic on the same bracket as 4-time defending champion Rafael Nadal. But instead the top-ranked Nadal will only have to face the unproven Brit Andy Murray on his way to the finals. I could imagine Nadal feels a bit relieved that both Djokovic, who gave him a 4-hour match last weekend in Madrid, and Roger Federer, who beat him in the final the following day ending Nadal's 33-win streak on clay, will be offing each other in a potential semifinal matchup.
