No one can fail to be excited by the return of Rafael Nadal to win the French Open for an incredible fifth time. Add to this his previous wins in the Australian Open and at Wimbledon, a total of seven open titles, and the prospects for this year’s All England Club Tournament look very exciting.
Much as one cheers for the Brits, one can’t fail to be excited by Nadal’s raw energy and talent. Hopefully those DPTC members with tickets for Wimbledon will soon be seeing that at first hand.

Andy Murray held out in the first round of the French Open, battling back from two sets down to beat Richard Gasquet. Despite his opponent’s home advantage, Murray kept going until he turned the game. As he said afterwards:
“I just managed to come back in the end by fighting hard and believing. You need to try and stay focused on your own game and against someone like him it’s tough. I looked up at one point and he’d hit 59 winners and 30 unforced errors. It’s difficult but you just need to chase everything down and believe in yourself.”
Score: 4-6 6-7 (5-7) 6-4 6-2 6-1
