Sven's Blog - Updates From Roland Garros |

Entering my 3rd day in Paris for the 2012 French Open or better yet Roland Garros.

Since it is the week of qualifying all court at the site of Roland Garros are in overload!

All the women who start on wednesday had to go off site to practice and even Andy Murray spent several hours at the Stade Jean Bouin next to Roland Garros on walking distance!

Yesterday we had a great win for Laura Robson who won her match in 2 sets over a spanish player. The weather was in favor for Laura (sunny and warm) the balls were traveling faster and she kept the points short 6-2 7-6(4)

Yesterday we also had other players arrive in Paris and request to book courts for Kirilenko, Wozniacki, Pavlyunchenkova, Cirstea.

Today on thursday 24 we have a 8 am practise with Sorana followed by Nastia at 9 and a warmup with Laura at 12:30 for a warmup before her match plus Caroline at 4. We are ALL INN again and our campaign has started for the 2012 French Open!
