Unlike yesterday, a lot of women’s tennis for me today at Roland Garros, and a little bit of Rafa.
But first, I would like to congratulate Virginie Razzano for her incredible win over Serena Williams. There is no more deserving player than her. So happy for her.

Like yesterday, I didn’t stick to my plan. Court 2 was already packed at 11 o’ clock, so no Ferrer for me.

On Court 9, Donald Young at practice:

Young lost to Grigor Dimitrov later in the afternoon. He is 2-12 this season.

On Court 11, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Pauline Parmentier:

On Court 14, the Argentinian pair of Gisela Dulko and Paola Suarez defeats Darya Kustova and Anna Tatishvili…

while US Open champion Sam Stosur is practising on court 12:

Sam’s coach, David Taylor:
