French Open Results Suddenly Unpredictable

The French Open results had been fairly conventional most of the way. But with the most recent French Open results, no one now knows what to expect. Neither Roger Federer or Serena Williams
will even be around for the semifinals, leaving a few newcomers in the mix. With only Rafael Nadal left among the big names, it might be the worst case outcome for tennis and NBC. There are no Federer-Nadal or Williams sister finals to hype for the weekend, and some may have never heard of many remaining players. But the French Open results guarantee new blood at the end, and could still have a power matchup or two.

At the least, things have gotten exciting after a conventional first week plus The only notable upset beforehand was Venus Williams getting knocked out last weekend. Otherwise, it looked like the French Open results would be predictable, at least until the championship.

Fans expected a new Federer-Nadal showdown on Sunday morning, and another Serena Williams title on Saturday. Both scenarios are no more, thanks to Robin Soderling and Samantha Stosur. However, these two giant killers could provide intrigue at the end, assuming they don't fall off in the semis.

The French Open results in the last two days did not give Soderling or Stosur a title. In fact, if Soderling loses in the semifinals, he will have done worse in this year's tournament than last year's. To make the finals for the second year in a row, Soderling still has to beat Tomas Berdych, who reached his first Grand Slam semifinal yesterday.

With no Federer-Nadal match to hype, the new highly anticipated final would be Nadal vs Soderling. The French Open results last year had Soderling end Nadal's long reign at Roland Garros. After beating Federer to go with it, a rematch is already being projected. But first, Nadal has to beat Nicolas Almagro - who he leads by two sets after two tiebreakers - and then either Novak Djokovic or Jurgen Melzer.For the women, the French Open results are harder to put up with. With both Williams sisters gone, the rest of the field will make headlines at the end for once. No matter what, there will be a new champion, as no one left has ever won a Grand Slam.

Canadian Womens Hockey Team Celebration:

I’m sure Canadians are rejoicing a lot as of now after winning the Olympic Gold Medal in the Women’s Ice Hockey sports competition! With that said, the Canadian Womens Olympic Hockey players are now having a party to celebrate their victory!

Apparently, long after all the fans had left the barn the Canadian women of the Olympic Hockey team were still on the ice, taking in the gold medal win and downing a couple of beers after beating the United States 2-0 on Thursday.


One of the Canadian Ice Hockey player, Haley Irwin poured champagne into the mouth of Tessa Bonhomme, gold medals swinging from both their necks. Meghan Agosta and Marie-Philip Poulin posed with goofy grins.

Goalies Charline Labonte and Kim St-Pierre posed at center ice for Poulin, lying on their stomachs with a giant bottle of champagne resting just above the Olympic rings.

In a statement released late Thursday, Team Ice Hockey Canada apologized.

“The members of Team Canada apologize if their on-ice celebrations, after fans had left the building, have offended anyone,” the statement said. “In the excitement of the moment, the celebration left the confines of our dressing room and shouldn’t have. The team regrets that its gold medal celebration may have caused the IOC or COC any embarrassment.

“Our players and team vow to uphold the values of the Olympics moving forward and view this situation as a learning experience.”

If the Canadian men win, the party celebration will probably be bigger, but I don’t know if it will mean as much to the NHL stars who make up the team. But, to even get a chance to celebrate inappropriately, the men’s teams will have to win today. Canada faces Slovakia, and the Americans take on Finland. That’s LIVE on NBC at 3 pm.

A big congratulations to the Canadian Womens Hockey Team for winning the olympic gold medal!
