I love watching sports.  I’ve just watched Roger Federer beat Gonzalez in four sets in the 2008 French Open quarterfinals.  Federer advances to the semi-final to meet up Monfils of France.  If he can maintain his superb play in the semi-finals, it could be a history in the making for this 2008 French Open.

The world number 1 Roger Federer, considered to be one of the greatest tennis players of all time, is playing in the only grand slam tournament that he has not yet captured the title.  With 12 grand slam titles on his name, he is only 2 titles behind Pete Sampras’ all time high record of 14 grand slams.  But with all those grand slams, only 1 title has eluded him thus far.  The French Open.  The only tournament where he has not been the dominant player.  The only blemish to his very clean record.

Is this the year for Roger Federer?  Will he survive the onslaught of Nadal or Jokovic in the Finals?  Will he finally get the crown that has eluded him all these years?  Is it finally time?
