Day 2 French Open

Heavy rains in Paris forced them to give up trying to complete first-round matches and suspend play for the rest of the day.

Before that, Nicolay Davydenko managed to complete his defeat of Stefano Galvani 6-3, 6-1, 6-1.

On the women's side a whole half dozen matches were completed. Venus Williams (seeded 26) defeated Alize Cornet (of France) 6-4, 6-3. Na-Li (seeded 16), Tathiana Garbin (seeded 19), and Samantha Stosur (seeded 27) also advanced. Severine Bremond of France (seeded 31) fell to Michaella Krajicek.

Wow! what a shot! I mean the photo.

Federer does keep his head behind the contact point. He draws it back almost like the off arm is drawn back in a one-handed backhand. I think he's onto something with that.
