It's nice to see the Blue Jays finally snap their funk. On Friday night, after more than 10 days of bad baseball, they finally picked themselves up and put a W on the board. Not only that, we won another series! Though we're still a game behind the Sox after a loss today, it is good to be back in contention (or feeling like it anyway).
The biggest news of the day, perhaps, came from Paris! At the fourth round of Roland Garros, Rafael Nadal, the four time French Open champion, lost his first ever match in Paris to an unseeded Swede named Robin Soderling. It wasn't close either, as Soderling knocked off Rafa in four sets. This changes the landscape of the tournament in a huge way. Federer faces minimal competition now as Djokovic was knocked off yesterday too. Andy Murray's chances of winning just went up by a whole lot and so did Andy Roddick's.
It's been an incredible tournament already. So many seeds are out early, in addition to the aforementioned, James Blake, Marat Safin, Nadia Petrova, Radek Stepanek, Gilles Simon, David Ferrer, Venus Williams, Elena Dementieva, Fernando Verdasco, and defending women's champion Ana Ivanovic.
Aleksandra Wozniak the Canadian and Serena Williams will go ahead tomorrow on Centre Court. Federer will play there too. It's going to be a wild ride no matter what. I'm lovin' tennis a whole lot right now.
