French Open - Day seven

Day seven at the French Open and Svetlana Kuznetsova beat Petra Kivitova in three sets. The third set could have gone either but a few lose balls from Petra and it handed the game and the match to Svetlana. 

Sloane Stephens beat Ekaterina Makarova in straight sets and this was a good win for Sloane as Ekaterina strikes the ball well and it's hard to break her game down. 

The surprise result in the women draw was Lucie Safarova beating Ana Ivanovic in straight sets. I thought that Ana had a real chance of winning this title so it was  a surprise see her ousted so easily. 

Rafael Nadal beat Lenardo Mayer in straight sets and it was a straight forward win for Rafa. But to be fair I would have been surprised if Lenardo had been Rafa. 

David Ferrer beat Andreas Seppi in straight sets and it was straight forward win and David is quietly going through the draw he could be surprising winner of  this year French Open.  

Guillermo Garcia Lopez beat Donald Young in give sets and Guillermo won the first two sets then gave away set three and four then just about beat Donald in the fifth set. 

Davis Cup - USA v Great Britain- Day One

Day one of the Davis Cup and Great Britain had a very good day. 

Andy Murray beat Donald Young in straight sets and this was a good win for Andy as the clay his least favourite surface. 

Donald Young did reasonably well at the recent Australian Open, however beating Andy would have been a real challenge and he is not there yet. 

James Ward beat Sam Querrey in five sets   and this was a huge and unexpected win for the Brit ranked 175. 

These two wins gave GB a good start to the Davis Cup now we just have to see if they can be repeat it in today's double match.
