Very interesting…….

Roland Garros facts you were faking you knew.

-Because of the slow playing surface and the five-set men’s singles matches without a tiebreak in the final set, the event is widely considered to be the most physically demanding tennis tournament in the world.

-In 1968, the French Championships became the first Grand Slam tournament to go open, allowing both amateurs and professionals to compete.

-In March 2007, it was announced that the event will provide equal prize money for both men and women in all rounds for the first time ever.

-Clay courts slow down the ball and produce a high bounce when compared to grass courts or hard courts. For this reason, clay courts take away some of the advantages of big serves and serve-and-volleyers, which makes it hard for serve based players to dominate on the surface.

-In the open era, the only male players who have won both the French Open and Wimbledon, played on faster grass courts, are Rod Laver, Jan Kodeš, Björn Borg, Andre Agassi, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.

Winner of most men’s singles titles:

Before 1925: Max Decugis – 8.

1925-1967: Henri Cochet – 4.

Did you know?

…………….that grocery stores use water to increase the weight of vegetables to take more of your money. So shake them well before you get to the cashier.

There’s just ONE male tennis player who can pull this act – most perfectly, don’t you think?

Did you know?

……….that you can come pretty close to knowing exactly what anyone is thinking at a particular moment if you can mirror their body language at the time? So to know what Nadal and Federer thought on the memorable championship point at Madrid just try mirroring their individual act and be amazed. For toddlers just beginning to crawl, for Nadal raise your hands like he did etc. and for Federer attempt to swing the racket with no ball contact. Geeeeeeeezzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!

Photos.

You are not a teenager any more. Turn the freaking hat around. Geeeeeezzzzzz!!!!!! How some people can get obsessed about looking good to cover up their insecurities!!!!

Oh, oh this is not looking good. Mirka, Wawrinka, where are you people?

He is alive AND breathing.

How to pop a knee?

This is pretty close to indecent.

Federer Warms to Springtime in Paris. From Barbara. Thanks.
