'09 Roland Garros, NBA Finals

I realized I haven't talked Tennis all this year. Well ... here goes.

The Women's Final for the 2009 French Open is set. It will be Dinara Safina & Svetlana Kuznetsova (both from Russia) battling it out for the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen.

Who do I see winning the whole thing? Well, since Justin Henin retired before last year's French Open, and Ana Ivanovic lost in the 4th round to Victoria Azarenka ... I think Dinara Safina will finally get her 1st Grand Slam win. She definitely deserves it. On her two previous finals, she has been absolutely slaughtered, losing in 2 sets to Ana Ivanovic in the 2008 French Open (6-4, 6-3) and losing to Serena Williams in the 2009 Australian Open (6-0, 6-3). It's her time to shine.

Safina in 3.

The NBA Finals start tonight. The Los Angeles Lakers against the Orlando Magic. Superman vs. Kobe. This should be interesting.

I gotta take the Magic in either 6 or 7. Regardless of how many games this series goes to ... I think the Magic are more well-rounded and if they get hot behind the arc, it's over. I know Shaq tweeted yesterday that he wanted Kobe to get #4 - I don't. I hate the Lakers and I really want Superman to get his 1st ring.

Go Orlando!
