Federer lost his first match in the clay-court season 2010 to Ernests Gulbis. Is his title defense at Roland Garros and a possible Grand Slam for 2010 in danger?

I had the privilege of going to US Men's Clay Court Championships in Houston, Texas recently and Tennis Express invited me to come to their store and interview Chilean world top 10, Fernando Gonzalez. During the interview and fan gathering, Gonzo signed his Babolat Pure Storm GT racquet. The racquet is being raffled off for $10 per ticket to go to the American Red Cross' aid of the Chile earthquake victims. What a great cause and it's not every day you get the opportunity to win a racquet valued for $179! I got a raffle ticket and hope to win- they are letting everyone know on Monday, May 3rd at 6pm so be sure to get a ticket while you can.He is such passionate and patriotic tennis player- if you get the opportunity be sure to check out his book, Chile, el pais de los mil paisajes(Chile, the country of the thousand landscapes).  Here's a link to the Autographed Fernando Gonzalez Babolat Pure Storm
