I agree with timeon - this couldn't have played out much better. What an intriguing, perfect pair of semis. Can't wait for this.
Pin this disaster on tournament director Guy Forget. I read elsewhere that he scheduled the start time of that match believing that 3 hours would be enough to complete it. C'mon - 3 hours for a match up between two top-10 players? In the semis of Roland Garros? There was very little chance that that would work. As a result, the fans are ripped off and angry (they had to pay full-price for a match they could only watch part of), an important match had to be halted mid-set for 20 minutes for the fans to leave, and the finale of the match had to be played in the echoes of an empty stadium, rather than a roaring crowd. Shame on Guy Forget. What a horrible decision.
Fighto!
No one beats Rafa on clay, unless he suffers a mid game injury. Anyone else still in the tournament is making up the numbers. Simple as that.
