Roland Garros
Monday, May 25, 2009
Now that two of the area’s main yearly events are behind us (the Cannes Film Festival ended yesterday, the day of the Monaco Grand Prix), it’s time for the next round of excitement: Roland Garros, the French Open tennis tournament, one of four Grand Slam events held every year. Until June 7, the question on everyone’s mind is whether Roger Federer will at long last manage to overcome his nemesis Rafael Nadal, or whether two different players will slug it out in the final. When I came home and turned on the TV at 5:49 this afternoon, Pauline Parmentier was winning her first set against Marion Bartoli; she eventually lost 6:3 1:6 3:6. Oh, how I miss Justine! By the way, Roland Garros was not one of the musketeers; he was a French World War I aviator.
