As expected, the top seed in the men's draw (and probably the greatest men's tennis player playing today) has made it into the finals at the French Open. If he wins that (and that's a big "if" since Nadal is still out there and Ljubicic is quite talenetd too), it'll be a truly historic weekend in tennis:
If Federer wins the title, he would become only the third man to hold all four Grand Slam titles at the same time, joining Don Budge and Rod Laver. He would also become the sixth man to achieve a career Slam by winning all four majors.
As a huge Federer fan, I'd love to see that happen.
And how about Martina Navratilova making it all the way to the semifinals in the mixed doubles? Not bad for a 49 year old - or for anyone else for that matter.
