Nadal Wins French Open on Djokovic Double Fault

It's not the way you want a great match at a major championship like the French Open to end, but Rafael Nadal claimed his seventh French Open title in four sets when Novak Djokovic double faulted.

French Open Final Set for 7AM Monday

With Rafael Nadal trying to protect a 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 1-2 lead over a surging Novak Djokovic, who's seeded No. 1. A tarp was pulled over the court, and after another hour or so, the decision was made to stop for the day and resume Monday.

Nadal and Djokovic were scheduled to resume at 1 p.m. local time (7 a.m. EDT) on Monday, when the forecast calls for intermittent rain. NBC, which aired Sunday's action, said Monday's U.S. TV coverage will shift to NBC Sports Network, a cable channel in about 35 million fewer homes than the broadcast network. It also will be streamed online at NBCSports.com.

Australian Open Day 11: Match of the Day

Impossible to pick just one match today, so there are three picks that need to be made.

The first women's semi is Kim Clijsters and Victoria Azarenka.

The second women's semi will feature Maria Sharapova and Petra Kvitova.

I'll go against my first instincts and take Azarenka in the first match and then hve to go with Kvitova in the second.  Both matches could be classics.

The men's match is a classic before it is even played.

What more can you say about Federer vs Nadal?

Even though Nadal leads the career series 17-9, it's hard not to like the way Federer is playing.  Let's go with Fed in 4 great sets even though it's hard to not pick Nadal.

Should be a great night of tennis.

U.S. Open Match to Watch: Day 12

A couple nice men's matches to play on Friday.

Here's a match I've been waiting to see for a while.  Nadal vs. Roddick on a hard court. 

These two haven't played since they played twice in 2010.  Nadal won a three setter at the World Finals and Roddick won a three setter at Key Biscayne.  If Roddick has a chance to beat Rafa these days, it's on  hard court at the U.S. Open.

Will it happen?  It's too close to call.  Most of the experts will be on the side of Nadal, but I like Roddick a little.  It's really too hard to pick, but it's a match we can sit back and enjoy.

The Isner/Murray match is also interesting, but Murray is playing too well.
