Day Eight of The French Open and the Big Wheels keep on rolling through the draw and Rafa Nadal celebrated his 27th birthday with a win on the clay courts that put him through to the quarterfinals followed by the crowd singing Happy Birthday in French which he might not have even understood since he’s Spanish but the tune was familiar and an official Frenchman brought out the biggest birthday cake in the whole world and the old woman Slow wondered if anybody got a piece for real.

The best match of the day wasn’t the Big Wheels though but two guys The Red Man recognized and normally wouldn’t watch.  Stanislas Wawrinka and Richard Gasquet.  Geez Louise. Heart stopper.
