ZOMFG... Rafa Lost.
At the French Open. In the 4th Round.
Robin Söderling def Rafael Nadal
6-2 6-7 (2/7) 6-4 7-6 (7/2)
Day 8, 31 May 2009, saw Rafael Nadal lose his first ever match at Roland Garros, ending his 31-match streak. Lleyton Hewitt is the last man to fall by Nadal's racket and Robin Söderling is the first and only man to defeat Nadal on French Open clay.
The Women's defending champion, Ana Ivanovic also bows out in a beat down against Victoria Azarenka, 6-2 6-3.
But what is more exciting is the demolishun of World #1 Dinara Safina of all her opponents thus far:
def Keothavong 6-0 6-0
def Diatchenko 6-1 6-1
def Pavlyuchenkova 6-2 6-0
def Rezai 6-1 6-0
Now, with Rafa out of the running, I guess 2009 French Open is Roger Federer's for the taking. If he screws this up, he will definitely lose sleep over it.
