Roland Garros Update

I just have to voice my shock of both the Williams sisters losing out in the third round and in straight sets. I really thought they were going to land safely to the Quarters but I guess I was wrong, on Serena's side it now means Ivanovic has quite a comfortable draw for herself whilst on Venus's side at least Flavia won - one of my favourite players though Venus is higher on that list! Anyway Flavia should now get to the Quarters and that would be fantastic - I really don't see Carla Suarez Navarro being a threat! However this means the likelihood of Jelena Jankovic against Ana Ivanovic is high and I regret to say it but Ivanovic looks possibly set for the title. It will depend on whether Maria gets better at her game as she has had two three set matches already and her draw gets harder from here on. Dinara is a possible threat but I really don't see her winning the title, it would be great if she did because I always liked her (maybe because she's Safin's sister - I know that is biased) however I would rather Vaidisova have won instead. One person that I have been obscuring in my mind is Kuznetsova - I really don't want her to win to be honest.
On the mens side I'm also quite sad that Murray and Tursunov and Youzhny lost but I guess it was going to happen, it now means Nadal and Djokovic are quite sure to meet in the Semis. Their are definitely a lot of unexpected Quarterfinalists.
