En attente de vous' Waiting for You, Rafael, To Reclaim Me... by Tanya Pal
ฉันคือ Roland Garros .. สนามประลองแห่ง French Open ฉันเป็นสักขีพยานในแข่งขันของนักเทนนิสมาแล้วมากมายมาตั้งแต่ปี 1891 แรกเริ่มฉันเป็นเพียงพื้นหญ้า ได้แปลงโฉมเป็นพื้นดินแดงเมื่อครั้ง 1912
นักสู้มากมายได้ชัยชนะอยู่ในอ้อมกอดฉัน ฉันยังจำพวกเค้าได้หมด บางคนก็เป็นคนพิเศษมาก อย่าง Max Decugis ชนะเลิศที่นี่ 8 ครั้ง Bjorn Borg 6 ครั้ง หรือ Henry Cochet 4 ครั้ง.... แต่มีบางคนที่มาเพื่อให้ความรักฉันแต่เพียงผู้เดียว เค้าไม่ชอบใครอื่นใดนัก อย่าง Gustavo Keurten
รูป Guga ในรอยรูปหัวใจ
Rafael , เธอคืออัศวินแห่งสเปน เธอยิ่งกว่าเป็นคนพิเศษ ตั้งแต่วันแรกที่เธอย่างเท้าลงที่นี่... บนตัวฉันในปี 2005 ฉันรู้ว่าฉันได้ตกหลุมรักเธอ ...ฉันไม่มีวันปล่อยให้เธอพ่ายแพั เธอจะเป็นผู้ชนะอันเป็นสุดที่รักของฉัน
'En attente de vous' Waiting for You, Rafael, To Reclaim Me... by Tanya Pal (Scribe)
I am Stade Roland Garros the venue, the arena of French Open. Since 1891, I've been witnessing the battles of many a tennis player. Though initially I was a grass court, I got my feisty red clay garb in 1912. Many gladiators have had their conquests on my bosom. Though I remember them all fondly, some are very special to me. How can I forget Max Decugis who won me eight times in a long-forgotten era; or Bjorn Borg who won six times or Henry Cochet who held me four times...Also there are a lot of warriors who came only for the love of me & did not like other surfaces much, like Gustavo Keurten... Yet, you Rafael, my spanish knight are very very special to me. The day you put your foot on me in the year of 2005, I knew I was in love & I would never let you lose here & that you will be my best & most beloved conqueror! I saw you play like a mighty warrior, reaching each corner of me, in a battle no knight in any armour has won over you. You moved, you served, you jumped, you pumped your fists to the boom of 'Vamos' & made me love you more each passing second. You went on to become the first male player to win the French Open on his first attempt since Mats Wilander in 1982, and yes have never lost here till date. To see you play is a pleasure but do you know what is the zenith of my emotions? It's when you win a match & throw your arms around me, embrace me, making me feel like each match is the final & you are the tournament winner! I still have the feel of you when you won me for the first time as a teenager of 19 & I haven't quiet got out of your arms from the last year. Now that the May sun is shining bright I've dressed myself in the finest Red Robes, awaiting your return one more time. Waiting to be conquered by you, my Gladiator. Longing for the feel of you on my red body. Reclaim me this year Rafa, I'm all yours

Roger Federer needs to beat Rafael Nadal to become best-ever player By Chris Wilson May 24, 2009 Roger Federer's claim on being the best-ever tennis player will turn to dust if he can't solve the Rafael Nadal puzzle over the next six weeks.
Tennis legend John Newcombe says Federer can't be labelled the greatest if he isn't even the best player of his generation. And that is what confronts the Swiss ace if he falls to Nadal again at the French Open and Wimbledon.
While he rates Nadal-Federer as the greatest rivalry men's tennis has known, Newcombe said a record number of grand slam titles will not automatically make Federer No.1.
On the eve of the French Open, Federer stands just one title shy of Pete Sampras's record 14 majors.
But his chase for history has become a real-time battle with Nadal.
Newcombe said Nadal, now more than just a king on clay, has muddied the debate about the greatest player of this generation.
Having won this year's Australian Open, Nadal defends his French and Wimbledon titles in the next six weeks.
"Nadal's beaten him (in grand slams) on grass and hardcourt and he owns him on clay. How can you say Federer's better than Nadal?" Newcombe said.
"He's won on all three surfaces and Federer hasn't won a slam on clay. So suddenly the question is, if Nadal stays fit for the next three to four years, where's his place in history? Roger has some serious questions facing him over the next six weeks.
"It could determine Roger's place in history."
Newcombe says there hasn't been a better rivalry. Not McEnroe and Borg. Not Sampras and Agassi.
Federer and Nadal have won 19 of the past 23 grand slams between them. They have contested seven of the last 12 grand slam finals, and neither has lost a final to any other player.
But Nadal is 13-7 against Federer, and now 5-2 in grand slam deciders.
Newcombe was on the court after Federer's tearful loss to Nadal at this year's Australian Open. So, too, were Rod Laver, Ken Rosewall and Tony Roche, with 27 grand slam titles between them, perhaps haunting Federer like ghosts of tennis past.
"Roger was sitting in his chair with his head slumped and just a far-away vacant look in his eyes. He'd just been beaten on clay, grass and hardcourt in grand slam finals by Nadal," Newcombe recalled.
"I love Roger, I think he's a great guy and a great champion.
"But he really treasures his place in history and he had to be thinking, 'God, maybe I'm not as good as everybody said'.
"It's almost like a fighter that's never been knocked out. He gets knocked out once and he starts to doubt himself."
CNN -- Roger Federer has exclusively told CNN he feels he could beat reigning champion Rafael Nadal at this year's French Open in Paris, because despite winning the last four tournaments the Spaniard is "only human."
The world number two is hoping this year will prove to be a turning point after suffering three consecutive final defeats to Nadal at Roland Garros.
"He's won four straight times here in Paris which shows how tough he is, but if you play him the right way there's chances, he is only human and we wait for that moment when he is not at his best and hopefully that will be this year," the Swiss said.
The 27-year-old certainly started the right way if he is to mount a succesful challenge, beating Alberto Martin 6-4 6-3 6-2 in under two hours to advance to the second round, setting up a clash with either Jose Acasuso or Santiago Ventura.
Federer's win is another positive result to add to the good form that saw him complete his first victory over Nadal in almost two years when taking the Madrid Open title.
"I feel good, that's most important, I'm confident and feel like I can beat the best and win again.
"I had a good Australian Open and I came through some back problems, so I feel like I'm playing better and moving better." Federer added.
Meanwhile, world number one and top seed Nadal, started his record fifth defense of the French Open title in similarly imperious fashion, beating Brazilian qualifier Marcos Daniel 7-5, 6-4, 6-3.
Though the defending champion was forced to work for his win, having to battle from behind against the 30-year-old Daniel in the first two sets. One of two Russians, Igor Kunitsyn or Teimuraz Gabashvili, await Nadal in the second round for the 22-year-old.
Despite hoping to emerge as victor at the event, Federer lavished praise on the man who had a 33-match unbeaten run on clay before losing to the Swiss in Madrid.
"I think (Nadal's) biggest strength is his movement on clay, he's by far the best, day-in-day out he never lets go and mentally he's become very strong . He's been able to adapt and against the best he's never gone five sets. That's impressive."
