So has this been the highest quality women's Slam for a while do we think?
Quite a lot of positive match reviews from what I've read.

Apparently Cirstea-Stosur is on Chatrier tomorrow, and Serena-Sweater is on Lenglen. Maybe they gave the no-names the early match? No...there are no early matches anymore, right? And since they have to play on Thursday too, I guess they'll each be first match on? If the schedule is out, they need to upload it. Fucking French. No surprise there, it costs almost the same price to buy a Lenglen tickets, they don't always put the best matches on Chatrier. Almost. It's a reputation thing more than anything, even though the courts are basically equal. And I'm not saying I care (or would care if my favorite players were affected), it's just funny because you know how Willie fans would (did) react.

You're right, it's the hit-or-miss crap that stinks. Ballbashing is very fun when it's played well, but that happens so infrequently these days. It's much more likely to be decent on the men's side.

I remember in like 2003 they shoved all the women's QFs on Lenglen and there was endless bitching. So they haven't done that since.
Mmmm, that was a fun day. I remember the Dokic Caprifati match with Jelena's hot outfit and her coach blowing bubblegum.

Their goal is to please as many spectators as possible. People on Chatrier have Federer vs Monfils, and that is the match they care about. The RG organizers could have put wheelchair tennis before that match and no one would complain. So the logical thing is to put Silliams vs Kuznetsova on Lenglen, as the poor crowd is already unfortunately enough to have Boredo vs Del Petro as the featured match.

But you know that Chatrier is the "number one" court and therefore the Williams fans will (did) flip out, which is why it's and .

I always complain about court placement because it shows the respect a tournament gives to a player. Like being the kool kidz in high school.
Hai RG this would be easier if you joined the 20th century and added lights

Then why don't they put some finals on Lenglen. Hingis certainly wished they'd done that!
