Posted on , updated on by Asen Peshev

(1) Novak Djokovic v (3) Andy Murray

Novak Djokovic did what only one man alive previously has done – defeating Rafael Nadal in the French Open. It was a sweet victory for the Serbian as this was a long time coming, 6 times he had previously lost against Nadal in Paris, but it was worth the wait. It marks as the first time the Spaniard has lost in straight sets in 3 of 5 format on clay.

“It is definitively a match I am going to remember for a long time. I managed to stay aggressive, didn’t let him dictate the rallies, but rather be the one doing it.

Women’s Semifinals is the theme for Thursday in Paris.

(1) Serena Williams v (23) Timea Bacsinszky

Timea’s great form these 2 weeks continued with a straight sets win over another surprising participant in the latter stages in a GS tournament – Alison Van Uytvanck. Timea hit 39 winners from which 26 came from her backhand, and from that wing she completely dominated the Belgian. This is the first time a Swiss player has made it into a GS SF since Patty Schnyder in Australian Open 2004. Alison didn’t play bad at all, she was lacking a good game plan and hitting constantly to Timea’s backhand was not

Surprise, surprise! Despite the Women’s side delivering a fair amount of unpredictability and surprises, it’s good to see different names making it further in the Grand Stage.

(1) Serena Williams v (17) Sara Errani

Serena has fought really hard to get to this point in the tournament and with the rest of the players that are left, is quite safe to say she is a really big favourite to not only to win this match against Errani, but the title as well. Serena was down a set and 4-5 in the second vs Sloane Stephens , but on serve, and succeeded a remarkable turnaround once again

Quarter Finals are here and we are all in for a treat! The four biggest names in TENNIS are all still alive.

(1) Novak Djokovic v (6) Rafael Nadal

Well here we have it! The match that everyone anticipated since the Draw was officially made is happening on Wednesday. Nadal leads the H2H 23-20, but most importantly he has a 6-0 advantage on matches played at the French Open. He lost his first set of the tournament today versus the American Jack Sock. After serving for the match, probably some nerves kicked in, lost a bit of confidence in his shots and lost the 3rd set in a

Round 4 is upon us! Today I preview some of the matches that have the potential to be very tight, likely decided in a long and exhausting battle.

(28) Flavia Pennetta v (21) Garbine Muguruza

They have already played two matches and Garbine is leading 2-0, although was on indoor and outdoor hard court. Both have been impressive so far and their R4 match is looking to be a good one on paper. Flavia is rolling back the years and she has become more aggressive, from what I saw, she tries to shorten the points and scored a big win over Carla Suarez Navarro in her
