French Open - Day thirteen

Day thirteen of the French Open and it's the men's semi-finals day and Novak Djokovic beat Ernest Gulbis in four sets. 

Novak was cruising in this match and then switched off in the third set and Ernest was able to win it however Novak refocused in the fourth set and won the set and the match. 

It would have been a surprise if Ernest had got this win especially as Novak has been very well. 
 
Rafael Nadal beat Andy Murray in straight sets and the match was a little one sided to the point Andy did not even get a break point chance in the entire match. 

But to be fair to Andy he played at least three five set matches and I don't think that would have helped his cause coming into match against Rafa so he was always going to be up against it. 

So the final will be between Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic and they have both in playing great tennis. 

I would  say Rafa the slight edge partly because I am a fan of his style of tennis and because he has won this title eight times. But that will not phase Novak who ready to step it up to try and dethrone Rafal.

French Open - Day ten

Day ten at the French Open and in the quarter finals Maria Sharapova beat  Garbine Muguruza in three sets. It would have more of a surprise if Garbine had won this match. 

Eugenie Bouchard beat Carla Suarez Navarro in three sets and this was a very good win as Carla is clay court specialist. 

In the men's draw Novak Djokovic beat Milos Raonic in straight sets and this was quite a tight three sets victory for Novak but importantly for him he  got the win. 

Ernest Gulbis beat Tomas Berdych in straight sets and Ernest has had some good wins but I still think he is an outside shot for winning this title. 



French Open - Day eight

Day eight at the French Open and Eugenie Bouchard beat Angelique Kerber in straight sets. This was an excellent win for Eugenie and it shows she will be a top ten player sooner than most people expected. 

Maria Sharapova beat Sam Stosur in three sets and this was a good win for Maria and she is getting more ruthless with each round. 

In the men's draw Novak Djokovic beat Jo Wilfred Tsonga in straight sets and this was good win for Novak as Jo Wilfred made it to the semi-finals last year. 

Andy Murray beat Phillip Kohlschreiber in five sets and it was a big win for Andy and he was struggling in the fifth set and no doubt the fact the last few games played over night helped Andy to recover and win the match. 

The shock of in the men's draw was Ernest Gulbis beat Roger Federer in five sets and it is going harder for Roger to win his 18th grand slam and his best bet is probably to win Wimbledon.
