"I guess a lot of people have changed their idea about what kind of tennis player I am recently. I guess that's a good thing."~ Samantha Stosur who beats Justine Henin in the fourth round at Roland Garros yesterday.
She's right!
Earlier this year, I've told tennis pal Esther that I'm going to make Samantha Stosur my idol. I had enough of Maria Sharapova, Jelena Jankovic, Ana Sharapova and their inconsistency.

Look who's singing karaoke at the Roland Garros' karaoke booth...
Well, I don't understand Japanese... but he could be singing "My future's so bright, I gotta wear shades".
If you've watched last night's match between Rafael Nadal and Gianni Mina, you would have realized the resemblance between him and Gael Monfils.
They have a couple of things in common too... both of them are French and their parents are from the French Caribbean.Minna wears Nike while Monfils recently changed from Nike to K-Swiss.

I don't mean to be rude to Dinara Safina with this headline.
But her lost to Japanese veteran Kimiko Date Krumm, who is just 4 months short of her 40th birthday, in the first round at the French Open comes as a huge shock!
Kimiko beats Safina 3-6, 6-4, 7-5.
Kimiko made her Roland Garros debut back in 1989, when Safina was only three.
With the victory over the former world no.1, Kimiko becomes the second oldest player after Britain's Virginia Wade to win a main draw women's singles match in Paris since the game turned pro.
Congrats to Kimiko for the win!
