Its Day 7 now at the French, and we are nearly halfway through the year's second grand slam. The day is up to grabs again, as the men and women of the ATP and WTA ready themselves for a new day of opportunity and glory.

A fascinating contrast of styles seems proffered, with the big serving Ljubicic playing with that one-strike, glorious one-handed gusto, while Verdasco, our mini-Nadal, will be hoping for grinding rallies ended at length by that murderous winner.
