aaaaaaaaaraffa.jpgDid any of you watch the French Open coverage this weekend?? I saw some terrific matches and you can read all about results and my take on the tournament in my other blog DEUCE! But just for Out In Hollywood readers, I've put together some pictures from the tournament taken on Monday of some of the remaining players in the men's draw...hot stuff! We begin, of course, with two-time defending champion Rafael Nadal who beat former number one Lleyton Hewitt and is on his way to a possible rematch with top-seed Roger Federer.

aaaaaaaanovak1.jpgCarlos Moya (above) is the oldest man left in the tournament at the age of 30. He beat Jonas Bjorkman and will face Nadal in the quarterfinals. Moya knows how to win the French Open: he did so in 1998 and remains a strong contender. Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic of Serbia is showing that he is the real deal as he makes the quarterfinals for the second year running. Just 19, Novak is already ranked in the top five and beat Nadal on his way to winning the big Sony Erriccson tournament in Miami back in March. Djokovic , more than any other player, is the one who I think is the biggest threat to the Federer-Nadal dominance of recent years. He's got the game and the attitude to be a major champion.
aaaaaaaaandreev.jpgAnd finally, there is Russian Igor Andreev who beat Marcos Baghdatis with a 2-6 6-1 6-3 6-4 win to reach the quarter-finals of a grand slam for the first time. Andreev is the man who beat American Andy Roddick in the first round and even though he is not seeded, he has shown he is not a one-win wonder.

Lleyton Hewitt played his heart out this tournament...it's a pity he had to encounter Nadal in the fourth round. I think Lleyton is a hottie...
