DONALD YOUNG JR. WINS OPENER IN FRENCH OPEN @ROLAND GARROS OVER DUDI SELA

Donald Young Junior wins in four sets over Dudi Sela 6-1,2-6,6-1,6-0. Not sure where the rain delays were but fairly certain they had a few. I really don't know much about the match but we are certainly celebrating the win.

Rain is oozing into the schedule at Roland Garros. The forecasters had called for clouds, but no rain. It’s obvious that the meteorologists neglected to take a peek out their windows.

The picture of Mirka and the girls watching Roger play today was awesome. The girls were dressed in white and black polka dot dresses. They all looked so beautiful.
