i don't really enjoy the sport, tried playing it a few times, but the fact that it was quite silly and that its name was quite similar to penis; seemed to drastically persuade for me to not even begin to enjoy it, eh? |
||||||||
|

|
|
it was quite silly ??? or were you quite bad at it? |

so kuerten is atleast playing. last time i watched tennis he was suffering from his hip surgery, which prevented him from playing. i've been out of the loop but hes my favorite player so i wanted to know if he had gotten over that surgery or not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh I understand now... yes he is... and he will come back to be the best on clay... but not yet |
||||||||
|

i'm glad Justine won, but the audience was so much against Serena that i would have liked her to won too. applauding at her faults... fuck supporters. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
its true that tennis used to be a sport with a quiet and fair audience, kind of neutral most of the time... but that seems to be from the past nowadays |

ferrero -verkerk final in few minutes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
go verkerk! what do you think nacmat? verkerk does seem to be on a higher plain these days and the ferrero-costa game didn't impress me at all mostly... hmmm fingers crossed for holland |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ferrero is very good. but verkerk seems to be demolition man... with a super sevice and forehand total destroyer! and ferrero just plays a great tennis but more controlled, moving the ball and the oponent all aeound the court if verkerk manages to make points last short, he will win... but if points go long... with lots of running... then ferrero will win. best luck for both! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
well it was a boring match but kudos to ferrero for not giving verkerk any chance today. he deserved his victory |

That was the Year that Was By Nyree Epplett Sunday, June 8, 2003 2003 Roland-Garros will go down as a tournament of firsts. The first time there was no Williams in a Grand Slam final since the 2001US Open. The first time a Dutchman has reached the final here (Verkerk), the first time that same Dutchman had ever won a Grand Slam singles match. The first-ever all-Belgian Grand Slam final, first Grand Slam singles title for Justine Henin-Hardenne, the first time Juan Carlos Ferrero has been ranked No1, and the first time two brothers have won the men's doubles title here since 1993. As the curtains come down on another clay bonanza, we wrap up the results and highlights of the past two weeks. All Hail Justine! Diminutive Belgian Justine Henin-Hardenne became the Queen of Roland-Garros on Saturday. Playing the best tennis of her short career, and proving that her Grand Slam nerves had now subsided, the steely Henin-Hardenne checkmated the No1 and No2 seeds (Serena Williams and Kim Clijsters) one after the other and dedicated the crown to her mother Francoise, who passed away when she was 12. Her gutsy three-set victory over the tearful Williams in the semi final brought to an almighty halt the 33-match reign (four titles) of Serena at Grand Slams and she became the first player since Jennifer Capriati to score back-to-back victories over the American. More so, she even snapped the United State's streak of 11 consecutive Grand Slam women's singles titles! And so the US domination came to an abrupt end on the red dirt at 2003 Roland-Garros. Two young Russians made sure of that. 21-year-old Nadia Petrova and 18-year-old Vera Zvonareva signalled their stern arrival when they outstroked Jennifer Capriati and Venus Williams in the fourth round. Petrova had also ousted former champion Monica Seles in the first round, but after beating her compatriot in three in the quarters, ran out of steam in the semis, beaten easily by the more experienced Clijsters. Local hope Amelie Mauresmo's impressive results |

. Local hope Amelie Mauresmo's impressive results (including a win over Serena) coming into the event had many predicting her assent to the throne. But the 23-year-old Frenchwoman combusted in the quarters under the weight of national expectation, blasted off the court by Serena in two brisk sets. King Juan Carlos! Roland-Garros crowned a new King on Sunday Juan Carlos Ferrero, who played his best Grand Slam match ever in overwhelming the Netherland's Martin Verkerk 6-1, 6-3, 6-2 to win the title. But it was, as they say, a long way to the top. During the fortnight of dirtballing, 2002 finalist Ferrero needed to played overcome an A-list of players, including Tim Henman, Rome champion Felix Mantilla, Chilean smashballer Fernando Gonzalez (where he needed six match points to overcome his flashy foe), 2002 champion Albert Costa and finally the service bombing Verkerk. Verkerk, on the other hand, survived three match points in his second round against Peruvian Luis Hornan before stunning the highly favored fourth seed Carlos Moya in five in the quarters, followed by Spanish clay courter Guillermo Coria in three in the semis. Ferrero who had reached the final four at Roland Garros in four straight years was primed for his first title and suffocated the greenhorn Verkerk with bullet returns, deep groundstrokes and superior movement. With the title, Ferrero became the third Spaniard in the past six years to win Roland Garros. |
