Make sure to visit Josephine's Chateau de Malmaison. it's my very favourite site in all of Paris, and its still a bit of a secret.

Have a buddy who did that for the semis in 2011 and saw Fed/Novak and Rafa/Murray. Paid $2K.

I would do that in a heartbeat! Hindsight of course.

Some better stuff is popping up today. Not sure why.

I just looked and only saw as late as June 7th. You saw later dates?

Had not heard of that one. I've been to Paris a few times and am always looking to do some different things so we may check this one out, thanks

Where can a fella get some good Coq au vin?


(That's all the French I remember, trying to sound sophisticated.)

Well, Korda beat McDonald!

KK was down two sets to a 31 year old scrub, but rolled after that. Tsitispas struggled a lot. Vesely served for the first set and had four set points in the fourth set tiebreaker. So, that could have gone the other way. It was really windy, though. These conditions look like the opposite of Rome. I meant to bet on Goffin against Hurka, but fortunately I missed it as Hurka won in five.

Does it really get that windy on Chatrier though?

This is an epic choke by Borges. Isner vs. Shitdraws in R3?

Think I saw there's a record number of Americans in the draw this year.

Too bad there will be the same number of champs as every other year.

Wow. At 6-4, 3-1 I figured Shelton was done. 10 minutes later and he's serving for the set at 5-3. That kid fights his arse off for sure. He's got that SEC in him.

ETA: And of course he folds in the 4th after I gas him up

Sabalenka is from Belarus and Kotsyuk is from Ukraine. But, I still think it's weak. It's not Sabalenka's fault that Ukraine is being pummelled.

Think it's close to Roland Garros - they allow for picnics on the grounds if it works out timing wise
