French Open: Mens Semi Report – Womens Final Preview

The upshot of yesterday’s play at the French Open is that we see another men’s final with Federer and Nadal in it. This will make it number four in a series of French Open finals.

Men’s Semis at the French Open

Rafael Nadal beat off Navak Djokovic 6-4 6-2 7-6 (7-3) to secure hi splace in the final. At times, Nadal must have thought he was the only player on the court as he dominated the match so much. It looked as though he could pick any place on the court to hit the ball, and there it weent, brilliant.

Federer on the other hand didn’t have quite an easy time of it as Nadal had. Which seems to be how he has found most of his matches in this tournament. It all started well enough as he ploughed through the first set. We can’t be sure what happened in the second set as Monfils managed to even teh score by winning the set. The third set is where Federer regained his focus and took that one. Unfortunately for Monfils, he couldn’t complete on any of the six break points he had in the fourth set and Federer capitalised and took the last set. The final scorecard for the match ended: 6-2 5-7 6-3 7-5.

The Women’s Final of the French Open

We are to look forward to a gripping match this afternoon between 13th Seed Dinara Safina and number two seed Ana Ivanovic. Safina was unlikely to have ever been in the final, and her tennis hasn’t been up to scratch at times to even be worthy to be in the final. Her sheer determination at crucial points in her matches has allowed her to beat her opposition to secure her this place.

Ivanovic is the obvious favourite to win this title, one she has failed to get twice before. As the newly appointed number one seed, she has alot of pressure on her to win too, maybe it’s going to be too much for her allowing Safina to win?

For those of you who’d like to place a bet on the women’s final, you can currently get 4/9 with Stan James on Ivanovic; or if your favoured player is Safina to win you can currently get odds of 2/1 from Paddy Power.
