Raphael Nadal knocked out of French Open

[just4kix]

Four-times champion Rafael Nadal has been knocked out of the French Open. Nadal lost in the fourth round, beaten 6-2 6-7 6-4 7-6 by Sweden's Robin Soderling.

I am very sad for Nadal as he will not be able to win 5 consecutive French titles now. On the other hand, I am also happy that perhaps Roger Federer may(?) now get to complete his dream of holding the French trophy.

Yes, it was a bit like shocker to me..! Clay court was his favorite court and in that itself he has been shown the way out.

I am a fan of Roger Federer. Good to see Nadal out.

BTW, Dont miss the Maria Sharapova match going on now.

P.S - Probably I saw j4k posting in the sports section for the first time.

I am a big sports fan, btw. I go to gym for workout regularly. Sports and Discover/NatGeo/AP are the only channels I watch on TV.

Gr8. I love watching these channels(except AP). And what about history channel?

Had a good discussion about the History channel a few days ago here: http://www.indiabroadband.net/fashio...tml#post154695 (Hobbies and Interest)

History Channel also - but they are not showing much history now-a-days.

Yes, This was actually the centre point of the discussion on the other thread. the actual history channel is being telecasted in India anymore. It is now, Fox History and Entertainment. Its awful. I really miss the good old History Channel. I was a regular viewer of some shows.

Anyways. I am taking this thread a bit fftopic:

Back to Tennis Guys...

For once Nadal confirmed that he is human after all.
people were begining have doubts about that.

During the last year Wimbledon commentary Mr. Amritraj had already indicated that the Wimbldon title will go to Nadal and the French title will go to Federer...
I hope his statement is going to be true now.

[aashaka_gandhi]

[gothic_coder]

Yes he won, But struggled a lot.. Lost 2nd and 3rd set and then came back in last 2 sets against Tommy Haas...
