Tennisers of the World, Unite! The topspin blog

Some quick notes:
Things are looking exciting. The secondary characters- the Roddicks, Murrays, Soderlings are looking good (actually, there's only one of each of them). I'm hoping that Berdych, Hewitt and Djoker can also step their games up,perhaps Tsonga or Querry too. Actually, even one of them would make this more interesting, but as it is, we have got one legit threat on Fed's path in Roddick, and two in Nadal's way in Murray and Soderling. I like this mix of characters, lots of different styles, nationalities, personalities. Great tennis jambalaya.

First round casualties: Stan Wawrinka, Francesca Shciavone (French Open women's cinderella).
Major scares: Fed, Djokovic, Davydenko
Beat Downs: Nadal, Murray, Soderling, Roddick
