French Open Day Three Results - Men

Rafael Nadal had no problems sweeping Xavier Malisse out of the court. He next meets the French punk, Richard Gasquet. Even with the crowd egging him on, Rafa's going to squish him good. Roger Federer swiped Nicolas Almagro out of the way. No chance. Gaston Gaudio got a walk-over. How convenient. That's what he does best when he's down a few breaks. Just aim the ball anywhere outside the court so that it looks like he's giving the match away instead of losing it, like the schmuck he is. Go home Gaston, even if Argentina isn't crying for you. Henman has to go back home to England. Was rooting for him. He exudes this proper air, what I imagine a traditional Englishman would. He's one of the last in his breed of serve-volleyers. God save Tim Henman. Oh, on a sidenote, God might save Tim and the Queen but there won't be any favours for Liverpool who has just conceded a goal to AC Milan, courtesy of Maldini. Forget all the talk of changing the rules to defend the title, Milan's going to win the Champions League.
