That was fast (French Open nodding).
#5 seed and French Open Champion Rafael Nadal already lost in the first round today in straight sets. Coincidentally, the women’s #5 seed was also beaten in straight sets.
#2 Andy Murray and #3 Roger Federer, last year’s final two with Roger winning in that dramatic home court match for Murray (http://voices.yahoo.com/i-wept-andy-murray-11545592.html), each advanced in straight sets today, too.
Snarf picks:
Men’s – Andy Murray
Women’s – Serena Williams
UPDATE: Second round shocker: Federer & Maria Sharapova OUT
………………….. good picks for the Finals Winners…. but don’t be surprised if a lower seed makes the finals in both the Women’s and Men’s……………early seeds falling might signal leftover fatigue from the French Open…..and open the door for some good old fashioned five set tennis and beyond!
