My first visit to the French Open has so far been an eye-opener and not just because of Rafa Nadal’s first round struggles.I’ve been to Wimbledon and all I remember is vast queues and too many people in a small area. I expected Roland Garros to be similar given it is the smallest grand slam venue but so far there have been no problems in that regard.
The sun has also been out in force as have the strawberries, a preserve most
fans might think are reserved for the All England club.
Nadal certainly gave himself and his army of fans a real fright by going two sets to one down against American John Isner on Tuesday, two botched tiebreaks had him in real trouble but like the true champion he is, the Spaniard battled back to win and continue his quest for a sixth title here in seven years.
