Roland Garros 2012 Review


Put a Lid on It
The US Open men's final has been played on the phantom 'Third Monday' of the tournament for the past four years. The French Open, already a day longer than the other three majors, must have felt the competition on its heels, and the tournament extended to 16 days, as rain pushed the men's final into Monday for just under a set.

Until these two tournaments shell out for roofs (as Roland Garros is planning to do with its new stadium construction), don't forget to save a sick day for the Monday after. I have September 9 circled in my planner.

Omg, I love the McEnroe/Evert bit so much.
SO true.

And I didn't know the cow on ice thing was a Russian phrase. Learn something new everyday!

I'm not sure who was worse - Evert or McEnroe. McEnroe had no idea Venus has Sjogen's syndrome for example.

Evert's pro Federer tweet to Patrick McEnroe was so widely retweeted it was almost funny. Then again there was the player she admitted on air she'd never heard of before, someone who had been playing very well during the spring clay court season. I would say it was Errani but I'm not sure who it was.

I missed that moment.

Over a variety of recent situation primarily outside of tennis, I've realized I placed much more value than the average person on professionalism.
