She can play and perhaps she will win Roland Garros 2014

  • Ernsts Gulbis‘ win over Roger Federer is not shocking.  He is on a winning streak, has had a breakout 2014, and has always played close matches with Roger (2-2 head to head and equal number of sets won)
  • Maria Sharapova is the favorite on paper in the women’s draw, but plausible cases for virtually everyone left can be made
  • Eugenie Bouchard, Simona Halep or Garbine Muguruza winning would be best for women’s tennis as new stars are hard to come by and these three have star potential.
  • Maria Sharapova would be next best to have a Hall of Fame player add to her legacy rather than a nearly assured one-slam wonder veteran win.
  • Novak Djokovic took Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to school.
  • Milos Raonic’s Rome and Paris are quickly erasing questions about who is the best of the under 25 crowd.
  • Andy Murray got that one win that may tell him mentally that he is back after surgery
  • Roger Federer’s chances of playing/winning Halle both increased today
