Discuss the draw and the matches of the French Open 2013 (from R1 to R 4)

Venus Williams is a warrior in my book and will always hold a special place in my tennis heart...

You have a heart? - Man you really had me fooled there - I still can't believe it
:laydownlaughing

actually its Venus who made me watch tennis like I do now...I was watching the final between Venus and Lindsay in 2000 and just loved the emotion she showed after winning,she jumped up with her long limps to embrace her family with a lot of unbridled joy...that was the first time I saw pure joy on a player s face after winning a tennis match.

Not that I'm a fan in any way whatsoever but it's good to see Melanie Oudin winning a match and not bombing out in the first round. Still only 21 so she has time to get back up the rankings.

Date-Krumm v Stosur could be a very entertaining match. Really sucks having to work. Used a fair few holidays already so won't be taking any days off for a while.
