I have never found any information about a husband or kids, so the hush hush of it all makes you wonder. |

| Amelie Mauresmo is being pushed by Olga Savchuck (who i know nothing about) in her opening round today. The French Mauresmo, who has never had a good showing at Roland Garros won the first set 7-5 and is struggling in the second set.
Nadal should finally get to see action later today. | |

| Its a nice day today at the French, and I just flipped on the t.v to see Sharapova and Rodina going head to head in the third.

You can probably find low cost group lessons through the City Parks & Recs Dept. Serving is a matter of developing a consistent grove of motion. Toss the ball high in exactly the same place (depending on type of serve), start your racquet from the same place and shift your weight from back to front foot at the same point in your swing which should be straight overhead. The exact way you start the swing is not so important, the consistency is. The main thing is repetition through practice. Take a basket of balls out and hit all four courts til you can't stand it anymore.

| i didn't wake up in time for it, but it appears Sharapova had quite a first round struggle. Far different than how she cruised through every round of the Aussie. | |

| Is there any TV other than ESPN's afternoon coverage and the Tennis Channel, which I don't think I currently get?
Heck, I can't even find a good online schedule to tell me who plays when. I *think* Ivanovic is playing right now, but it's hard to tell. | |
