On the train to Paris after enjoying the sites and wines of Bordeaux, and today second round matches begin in earnest, but I am hoping some are played at Roland Garros cause that's where my tickets direct me. And initially it means a look at women's number one seed Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki display her wares including tennis shots against hapless Canadian Aleksandra Wozniak. Aleksandra will be spending the afternoon visiting the Eiffel Tower and the rest of her trip at other tourist spots.
2 Frenchmen do battle in the second match on Court Philippe Chatrier, and 9th seed Gael Monfils will provide a highlight package against the lesser known Guillaume Rufin. Irrespective, France will provide a third round men's contribution.
Novak Djokovic has his chance to show me how good his game has progressed on clay when he plays and presumably overcomes Romanian Victor Hanescu, but after Rafa's 5 set trauma against John Isner yesterday, the Serbian superstar had better beware of the potential upset. Who am I kidding really?
Last year's female champ Francesca Schiavone completes action on Centre Court and no conceivable drama awaits the Italian as she confronts Russian Vesna Dolonts.
On the Aussie front nice to see Jarmila Gajdosova breeze through her first round match, and all eyes (well some at least) will be on Samantha Stosur as she deals with Halep on Court 1 today in further second round action.
