At last Senor Figaro, the tennis guru of TERB, has jumped on the Victoria Mboko bandwagon, joining me (see posts 960 and 973). She is definitely one to watch.

Tennis is a fickle game.
Victoria Mboko has qualified for the French Open, Bianca Andreescu has not.

She has just won her first round match, 6-1, 7-6 against the 45th ranked player in the world, Lulu Sun of Australia.
What a delightful young woman. She has already earned over $220,000 U.S. by advancing to the round of 64. She next plays Lys from Germany, ranked 59 in the world. Good chance to advance to the round of 32.
How about that straight set win by Gabriel Diallo today over Cerundelo? Very impressive. Cerundelo is having a great year, seeded 18th and considered an outside chance by some experts to go far in the tournament, so Diallo’s win is a bit of a stunner. Looks like between Victoria Mboko and Gabriel Diallo, Canada has a couple of players with a bright future.
Carlito defeates Ben Shelton 7-6,6-3,4-6,6-4 to reach the QF, Rune vs Musetti looks as exciting. Musetti won the first set 7-5.
Iga defeat Elena Rybakina in three set after dropping the first 1-6, this should be considered an upset. Leggy Supermodel has had her number.
Duuuuhhh.

It appears that Jannik got the cobwebs out in Rome, no one has come close to breaking him so far.
Musetti lost 8 consecutive games against Carlito before pulling up lame. Jocker's fighting spirit remains undimmed, Sinner is a reptile.
Battle of the Titans on Roland Garros. Listen to Billy Red Lyons, Dontcha dare miss it.
Italian football is bottoming out. Milan are having a fire sale, Maignan to Chelsea, Leao to Bayern.

Conil say Cori was a cool cat, this is Roland Garros not Gone With the Wind. Aryna is not difficult to beat. You return the ball low and hard almost into the net. The more she's reaching down to defend, the more flustered she becomes. Iga tried it but she couldn't sustain it.

Coco started using forehand slices, they worked brilliantly. She is just great and I was so happy she won. Ayrena had to be a total bitch and raise questions in her press conference if Coco actually deserved it. I have lost a great deal of respect for Ayrena. This Roland Garros was really amazing so far. Tomorrow promises to be a war.
I'm so happy I fixed my VPN problem, now I'm getting Carlito vs Gia at the highest quality along with the beloved Johhny Mac. The first game went 12 minutes.
I don't watch much tennis anymore, including the grand slam events. I don't know, used to enjoy it, but think that since Tennis has gone so woke, hard to watch. Biggest joke is equal pay for inequal work and am sure the $$$ raised is hugely different too. Make the ladies play best of 5 if they want the same money. I am sure they play less than half the time the men do during the tournament.
