Larcher de Brito got booed off Court Philippe Chatrier by the French crowd today due to her consistent screaming during points whilst playing her third round match against Frenchwoman Aravane Rezai. Already talk of the controversy she will cause at Wimbledon.
muhaha, I really liked it how annoyed Rezai got. That was a hot and tensed first set, great entertainment, not only in terms of tennis
I don't think it is that bad, Sharapova sounds much more horrible, and nobody complains anymore.

maybe I am slow, or maybe I've never really cared, but the French crowd is horrible.
I was watching the match between Vika and Ana, and they booed soooo much. Vika can behave rather immature, yes, but she didn't in this match. At one time she stopped play because she believe a shot was out and the crowd booed. They also booed her when the match was over.

yup, saw it. She was a bit too bitchy in that one and deserved to be booed at certain times. Totally agree. Though I don't agree on booing after the match, booe her negative behaviour but not after she has won. But in the match vs Ana she was a different Vika. She was just smiling instead of arguing with the umpire. Not once did she argue or smash a racket or something like that. She talked to herself whenever she made an UE, but does that deserve booing? I think the crowd when overboard during that match.

In order of that discussion about the french crowd, it was great to watch Marat Safin in his match against Ouanna.

Safin was as usually. After bad points he was talking to himself and gesticulating. The crowd started booing and whistling nearly every single time. But Safin didn't care too much about that was starting to incite the "fans" to make more noise and more "atmosphere" by gesticulating to them.

It was just great to watch. But the french crowd has always been like that.

I saw the end of the Cirstea-Jankovic match and Cirstea deserved it as she was playing to win and was positive while Jankovic was basically playing not to lose. Not the best result from a Daniela-centric perspective though.

Monfils beating Roddick brought a lot of joy to the Lenglen crowd.


Uncle Toni does his bit for Franco-Spanish relations:
In an interview with the Spanish radio station Cadena Ser, Toni Nadal said there was some truth to the phrase: "There is only one set of supporters that is worse than the French and that is the Parisians."

"They say it themselves and it's true, the Parisian crowd is pretty stupid. I think the French don't like it when a Spaniard wins," he added. "Wanting someone to lose is a slightly conceited way of amusing yourself. They show the stupidity of people who think themselves superior."

Nadal said after his loss to Soderling it appeared the crowd had been supporting the Swede rather than him at one point, which he called sad.

"This tournament is so important, such a beautiful tournament for me. Well, that's the way it is," he said. "But I wish when I'm back they can support me a bit more in key moments."

Sharapova has got a seeding for The Championships. She will enter as the number 24 seed. As a result, Alona Bondarenko misses out on a seeding.

no fucking way. I would had bet my life that they couldn't do that. Further, Sharapova hasn't really played well there recently.
