Is Roger worth sticking around through a rain delay?

You better believe it.

When did Roger become the Federer-Express?

He could be Fed-Ex if people got lazy and that just isn't right.

He won today! 6-7(5), 6-1, 6-0, 6-4 against Albert MontaƱes. Look at that big old bagel! Sweet.

Next up, Ancic. He's 4-1 against him. But that doesn't mean he can rest on his laurels!

Can Roger win the French?

Me: Obvs.

MCENROE ON FEDERER: "Roger can win but his window of opportunity is closing. Having said that he is probably still the second best player on clay right now so of course he has a chance of winning the French."

CARILLO ON FEDERER VS. NADAL: Can Federer win this? Without a doubt. He's been in the last two finals. Only Nadal is a better clay court player. Remember that Federer grew up on this stuff (clay) too and has a genuine feel for this stuff. He's playing the greatest clay courter of his generation, someone who may end up rivaling the great (Bjorn) Borg on this surface. Federer has to play his very best if he were to make it to the final against Nadal. He would have to play with aggression and little fear, and try to knock Nadal off his pins in fewer than five sets. That is perhaps the tallest single order in tennis these days.
