It was too early perhaps for world number 3 Stan Wawrinka to bid farewell to Paris and become the first major casualty at the hands of a 41st ranked Garcia-Lopez right in the first round of Roland Garros yesterday.

Having lost the first set to Garcia-Lopez 4-6, Wawrinka did try to comeback into the game by winning the second set 7-5, but Garcia-Lopez proved too good for him and beat him 6-2 and even 6-0 to move on to perhaps surprise others.

Having won the Australian Open at the start of the year, a confident and rather aggressive Wawrinka was looking to grab the French title to win bot Grand Slams in the same year as did Jim Courier in 1992.

Garcia-Lopez, ranked 41st, now faces France's Adrian Mannarino in round two.

Defending champion and world number 1 Rafael Nadal of Spain enter French Open, his favourite event he has won record eight times, when he plays 277th ranked Robby Ginepri of USA Monday afternoon today at Suzanne Lenglen court.

However, the match planning and scheduling at Suzanne Lenglen court, a secondary show court, leaves things in bad taste, specially for the defending champion and world no.1.

The scheduling shows the organizers have taken Nadal's recent defeats at Madrid and before as a weakening sign of the form of the world no.1 and taking it for granted as if Nadal is not going to successfully defend his title.

John Isner described the French Open’s scheduling of No. 1 and defending champion Rafael Nadal’s first-round match on Court Suzanne Lenglen as “really bizarre.” 

In the meanwhile Court Philippe Chatrier features matches for No. 2 Novak Djokovic and No. 3 Stan Wawrinka.

Nadal wins French Open for record eighth time

It did not take Nadal long to successfully defend his French Open title Sunday today when he confronted his fellow countryman David Ferrer in the 'All Spanish' final of the Roland Garros.

Nadal's straight three sets win - 6-3 6-2 6-3 over Ferrer was not only a record eighth French Open title, but also a befitting tribute to his dominance on clay.

His 59th match win also takes him past Roger Federer and Guillermo Vilas at Roland Garros, while his 12th major title moves him above Bjorn Borg and Rod Laver on the all-time list.

However, the final was marred by a brief protest high in the stands during the second set that was quickly followed by an intruder leaping onto the court while brandishing a flare - something that never happens in Grand Slam event's final.

The French Open Commences Sunday 26 May - Nadal and Djokovic for Semis Collision Course

[Photo]

French Open or the Roland Garros - the second Grand Slam of the year commences at Paris from Sunday 26 May 2013.

With Andy Murray, the world no.2 from Britan and Juan Martin del Potro from Argentina already out of the tournament due to back injury and viral infection respetively, the choice for the top eight is rather limited.

As for the main contenders, world no.1 Novak Djokovic and world no.5 and the defending champion Rafael Nadal, they both happen to be in the same side and are likely to clash in the semis before either moves up for the final.

The placement should be a big sigh of relief for the world no.3 Swiss Roger Federer, who also is the 2009 champion. He is very likely to be the there in the final waiting either Djokovic or Nadal. Though, Federer has been unable to win any major tournament this year, the aging tennis star, nearing his 32nd birthday, looks confident to make headlines this year.

As for the ladies, Serena and defending champion Maria Sharapova are the likely contenders for the final - but Sharapova has been more of a disappointing for her fans as whenever she faces the American, all her energies seem to sap and she gives away much to easily. And i Am keeping my fingers crossed for former world no.1 Victoria Azarenka.

So we start watch the second Grand Slam of the Year from tomorrow onward. Movin' Sports will provide links of important matches so that viewers can watch the live stremaing for free till the finals.

Say tuned.

Andy Murray Not Going to Paris for French Open

It may come as a demoralizing news for Murray's fans world wide, specially in the UK, but it is the reality: Andy Murray is not going to Paris to play the French Open owing to his back injury.

The world no.2 and darling of the British crowd, who made his presence felt in the last year's US Open and Olympics, retired in his first match in Rome due to back injury and pain as was evident from his face.

"It's been a really tough decision, and I love playing in Paris, but after seeking medical advice I'm not fit to compete," said the US Open champion.

Talking about his injuries, Murray had said at Rome:

"Until Madrid, it had been OK but it's not been perfect for a long period. You always go into matches with little niggles and such, but it's frustrating when for a long period you're hurting."

Now, having opted out of the Paris clay, Murray will hope to be fit for the start of the grass-court season at Queen's Club on 10 June.

Britain's Andy Murry Unlikely to play Roland Garros

A lower back injury forced world no.2 Britain's Andy Murray from the second round of the ongoing Italian Open tennis at Rome yesterday.

His injury casts shadows and doubts on his fitness to play the Roland Garros or the French Open beginning later this month at Paris.

"I pulled out because there was a good chance I would be playing tomorrow if I got through. As it is, I'd be very surprised if I was playing in Paris," said Murray.

It may be recalled that Murray struggled with a lower back problem throughout the clay season last year, one match against Jarkko Nieminen during the French Open prompting former Wimbledon champion Virginia Wade to call him a "drama queen".
