This is the perfect match-up for Djokovic and Nadal fans. Ha ha. Djokovic gets a legitimate test on clay (against the guy who finally did beat the incomparable Rafa), but we still have the mystery of Djokovic's game against the current French favorite.

Rome (the city and the verb ;). . .Breaking: Federer is Out at the French
I know how to spell "roam," ladies and gentlemen. The primitive emoji, as you can see, clarifies this play-on-words, being playfull (only to balance all the F-bombs and vitriol I lob at my opponents - stay on the good side of me, folks! 🙂 Let's check-in with our Rome correspondent (glancing at TennisChannel and reading …
