Some of the Rest of Day 4

Well seriously nothing on Court Philippe Chatrier served to surprise in the remaining 2 matches - Novak Djokovic played some luscious forehands amidst an entertaining encounter with Victor Hanescu, with the Romanian offering up some quality volleys for the Serb to think about come the grass season. Not here though, with the reigning Aussie Open champ continuing his astounding winning sequence and earning a third round match against Juan Martin Del Potro, 2009 US Open winner. Should be match of tournament so far.

Finally, reigning women's champion and breaker of Sam Stosur's heart in last year's final, Francesca Schiavone, lost her opening serve. The only loss she suffered after that was some hydration but not much of that either. Schiavone combined her wicked slice from both sides, and speed around the court, to rattle the Russian whose identity had previously been withheld from me. Patronizing sighs accompanied the slaughter under the Paris evening sun. Vesna Dolonts another victim of Schiavone, a player coming into the French, as last year, with suspect form, but cranking it up when it matters.
