Kim Clijsters has not had a great deal of success at Roland Garros and her status for the French Open 2011 beginning May 17th and running through June 5th is not definite.

For last year’s Wimbledon finalist and most improved player, the time has come to take his game up a notch or be prepared to let the field overcome him.

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, the Russian husky, has sports in her blood. She comes from a sports family background and has seen some success in 2010.

While the women’s draw is unbalanced, the Gentlemen’s Draw at Wimbledon is sensible but filled with predictable landmines for the eventual winner.

Rafa Nadal and Justine Henin, the two best clay court players in their divisions, powered to first round wins as other in-form players strutted their stuff on Tuesday.

On Monday, challenges came from unlikely sources on the men’s side but heat management may have saved Andy Murray and helped Novak Djokovic as the 3 and 4 seeds lived to see another day.

Roger Federer and Serena Williams are the top seeds but Rafa Nadal and Justine Henin are the bookmaker favorites to win this year’s French Open.

Federer and Nadal stay on track for final round pairing in Madrid.

There is no need to worry about 20-year old Victoria Azarenka, who grunts for release. Do not bother that in her four years on the tour, she has not won a Grand Slam Event. Not to fear. The pretty, queen-to-be has succeeded at every level since joining the IT Tour in 2003.

What fans forget about Maria, is that she is just 22 years old.
