Floodlights are hardly a new invention.

Tactically I could see it unfolding that way, but Monfils even in defeat can be entertaining the way he plays with the crowd.
I'd be cool with Kei winning a 3 set match like that, it'd mean he'd be in the final.
That's still a more interesting scenario than Fed/Tsonga or Stan/Nishikori.
Monfils/Tsonga and Fed/Nishikori are still the most entertaining matchups imo.
If RG was pretty much anywhere else, it would have had floodlights, new courts and retractable roofs for years, but nah, it's in the posh, fancy, stuck-up 16th...

Is it the surrounding communities that are blocking the addition of floodlights?
good for them. I wouldn't want fucking floodlights ruining my view either.
They could've easily used more courts than just 2..so let's put the blame on those who actually deserve it.

I saw her play and I didn't think it was all that impressive, I haven't seen her at her worst though.
He's definitely giving her something.
Pretty much yeah, it's in the richest part of the city, where residents pretty much are against every construction project (for example they're blocking a tram expansion that makes a lot of sense). Also there's a lot of political battles around the expansion of RG, with greens opposing it because they're expanding into old greenhouses and gardens and the right-wing opposition blocking it because it's annoying for the mayor.
It's kind of a clusterfuck, that's why they were thinking about moving the tournament, but the move is to a place far away from the city center.
The Paris bid for the 2024 olympics might help the renovation project but it's still too far away to tell.

Fed needs to close this out. He had that lapse of concentration early in second set that he is prone too since his decline. Rafa is on Lenglen! Now I am really worried. If Sock serves high percentage and plays with tactics (lol) then he has a great shot.

Sock has a great opportunity to make history. He could put himself along side Soderling as the only man to defeat Rafa at RG
Can't watch the match, but probably Safarova's coach.

Wanted Serena to beat Maria again, but this will do I suppose.

Horrible miss on the first MP by Lucie but then to marvellous points two get the job done.
Trying to bang a FH and keep the pressure up in a rally of a high and deep defensive moonshot is far from easy, though.

Gael trying to break himself. Look how many times Federer will hit it to his backhand, then, despite having a relatively open court particularly on the ad-side, Monfils will choose to rally back cross court with his backhand into Federer's forehand. Stupid, stupid, stupid. He was doing it yesterday and he hasn't learnt.

Nice start Roger! Quick break like yesterday.
