The French Open Nice Pictures And News 2011
The French Open Nice Pictures And News 2011
World number 78 Alize Cornet justified her top billing when she downed Czech Renata Voracova in the first round of the 2011 French Open at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France on Sunday. Cornet from Nice, France won a high quality first round match 6-4, 6-2 to claim her berth in the second round of the prestigious French Open for the fifth time in her career.
Cornet and Voracova were separated by 42 places on the world rankings but they put up a great fight and were evenly contested during the match. However the Czech pro started to show signs of fatigue and allowed her 21-year-old opponent to take full advantage. Cornet stepped up her attacking abilities and at the beginning of the second set, seizing on her opponent’s mistake and racing away to big leads.
Cornet got through to the final set with majority of points and Voracova did not have such an easy road through. Cornet remained unbroken and successfully converted two of five break points against Voracova on return. She quickly stacked up a 4-1 lead in the first set, before Voracova managed to push herself to win next three games. Voracova was not strong enough as her opponent was winning rally after rally. The Czech pro suffered considerable trouble due to her opponent’s magnificent shots, and finally lost the first set with a 6-4 score line.
After losing the first set, the Czech pro never broke back and the final set saw an abrupt down fall in her game. In comparison, her French opponent looked very relaxed and assured her straight sets victory by hitting a single ace and 67 percent of points on her first serve. Moreover, she did not allow her Czech opponent to get into her stride and successfully managed to sneak the second set with a 6-2 score.
Cornet concluded her straight sets victory with 9 winners and two double faults. Furthermore, she won 69 percent of points on her first serve, 53 percent of points on her second serve and 48 percent of points on return.
Hometown hope Cornet continues her run at Roland Garros, as she squares off against either Anastasia Pivovarova of Russia or Nuria Llagostera Vives of Spain in the second round of the French Open.
Cornet made a respectable start to this season, but she is in a dreadful slump at the moment. Of course, that should not come as a major surprise because the 78-ranked Frenchwoman is 11-12 this year and she is coming off a second round loss to Nadia Petrova in Strasbourg. The Frenchwoman has a chance of fending off an upset bid, but she will have to raise her level considerably in order to do so.

The original Honda Jazz model was launched in 2002 and since then has proven to be the leader in its class. The name itself invokes a sense of fun and coolness as for its namesake. The original model won numerous awards and attracted customers from a wide spectrum of drivers, ranging from teenagers to geriatrics this car had supreme mass market or universal appeal.
Thus the new model for this year has some big shoes to fill and although Honda hardly advertised it, the preorders were already piling up by the time the new model was first announced. Word of mouth and the strength of the Jazz reputation as well as branding were already so strong Honda managed to save a pretty penny on advertising. So what’s new in the new Jazz? How can one improve on an already near flawless design? Well to tell the truth, not much, the new Honda Jazz retains most of the features that made the original so widely popular amongst a large demographic whilst updating the exterior façade to keep up with current market preferences.
The engine from the original has been retained in its 1.4 liter form with minor tweaks and adjustments to pass stricter emission and pollution legislations in place in most countries as well as ensure acceptable fuel economy. All different models in the Jazz range retain the legendary steel heart engine of the original. As they say if it’s not broken don’t fix it. The already bulletproof engine required little change if any to improve it and it was a wise and sound decision by Honda to stick with it.
It is the bodywork that truly sets the new Honda Jazz apart from previous models. Although the silhouette of the original remains, closer examination of the car reveals a surprisingly sleeker aerodynamic body with a wind cheating shape that serves to reduce drag coefficient and increase fuel efficiency. Also the latest Jazz boasts twin projector headlamps and new improved rear led lighting echoing Honda’s current line of cars such as the Honda City and Honda Civic. Another major improvement over the previous model is of course the as the clever use of space to increase boot capacity whilst retaining a petite profile. The boot compartment of the new Jazz model is noticeably larger than the previous Jazz.

The North American market version of the revised Nissan GT-R supercar will make its first public appearance on this side of the Atlantic at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 17th, the Japanese automaker announced today.
Semi-revealed at the Paris Motor Show earlier this month, the latest version of the GT-R gains a barely noticeable exterior makeover with a new front bumper featuring some rather tacky LED daytime running lights, a revised rear diffuser and new alloy wheel designs. Nissan says the exterior revisions improve the car's aerodynamics.
The GT-R also benefits from a refreshed interior and according to Nissan, enhanced performance with full details on the North American version to be released at the Los Angeles show.
The Japanese supercar will be designated as a 2012 model when it reaches Nissan showrooms in the United States and Canada early in the 2011 calendar year.
