Roland Garros 2009 Day 4 Open Thread

My body is stiff, but I'm awake. Rain hasn't arrived yet, so I may have to get back in the dirt. Unless someone changes their outfits, we'll have to endure those fashion faux pas once again todoay.

I'm hoping Potito Starace can bring his A-game to Andy Murray. Can Josselin Ouanna continue his great form against mercurial Marat? Lucie Safarava could be hell for Venus and if Karen is correct, Nadia Petrova should take out Maria Sharapova. I'm not holding my breath
