French Open Update

The French Open has begun at the beautiful Roland Garros in France and is well underway. The French Open will run till June 6th 2010. The 4th round is now over and there have been some surprises in the world of tennis.

The biggest upset is the defeat of seeded #2 Venus Williams of the U.S. by the 19th seeded Nadia Petrova from Russia. This is the first time that Petrova has defeated Williams in their four matches against each other. Venus Williams was looking for her first win at the French Open, ever since being defeated by her own sister Serena Williams in the final round in 2002. The Williams sisters are still ranked #1 in the pairs division in which they will most likely advance to the final rounds.

Justine Henin will face off on the clay courts against Sam Stosur for a place in the quarterfinals. Last year’s 2009 French Open winner Svetlana Kuznetsova’s reign is now over. The champion was defeated in the third round by Maria Kirilenko.

Roger Federer, the reigning champ, will advance to the quarterfinals and will go up against Robin Soderling. Federer and Soderling did battle last year in the finals with Roger Federer winning the French Open 2009. This quarterfinal game is going to be a rematch of last year, so be sure not to miss it. Andy Murray of England, ranked 4th, was defeated by Tomas Berdych from the Czech Republic. This will be the first time Berdych has made it so far at the French Open.
