probably more than anything right now--but that doesn't change the
fact it is a shitty surface that favors grinding over shotmaking. The
ONLY thing that makes that event interesting is the prospect of a real
tennis player coming through.

I think it's pretty simple. The grand slam is what he wants much more than
he wants another Wimbledon. Obviously the French was the key to that. So
in that sense he needed the French much more than he needed the Wimbledon
which should come more easily theoretically, but certainly if he had to
pick one or the other he'd pick Wimbledon.

Also, another note to other posters, that news item was from a month ago,
before the French Open even started, so has nothing to do with the outcome
in the final, but nice find Giovanna I don't remember seeing that anywhere.
