Fast facts at the French

The 2004 French Open has created a few impressive records already -
on the official web site, in the stands, and by Wayne Ferreira.


Crowds gather

Monday’s crowd figure of 34,930 set a new all-time record for the
tournament. With ‘only’ 34,759 fans through the turnstiles,
yesterday’s figure was slightly down on Monday, but still a record
for a Tuesday.


Gasquet searches partner

Richard Gasquet is out of luck when it comes to playing in the men’s
doubles. Last year his intended partner Rafael Nadal pulled out, and
this year it has happened again, with Cyril Saulnier withdrawing.
Gasquet has taken the news in good humour though. “Anyone wanna play
with me?” he quipped in his press conference. Richard will get to
play in the mixed doubles though, alongside Tatiana Golovin.


Ferreira equals Edberg

South African Wayne Ferreira has equalled the record previously held
by Stefan Edberg for the number of consecutive appearances in Grand
Slams (54). Beaten in the first round by Jurgen Melzer, Ferreira should
overtake the legendary Swede at next month’s Wimbledon.


Internet in

The official Roland Garros web site has set new records for the numbers
of visitors to the site over the first two days. On Monday, 1,363,627
visits were recorded (up 82% compared to last year) for a total of
16,390,641 page views. By Tuesday those figures had risen to 1,678,194
visits (up 75%) and 21,263,077 page views.
