America...Likes: Hot Dogs. Dislikes: Clay.

Although it's midweek, some of us have just arrived ... here are a few (jet-lagged) notes from Roland Garros Day 5:

1. Hot Dogs Aren't Just for the Ballpark: As disappointing as the food choices can be at Wimbledon (although I do look forward to what I've dubbed "the strawberry cleanse"), that's how good they are at Roland Garros.  The cornerstone of the American stadium diet, the hot dog is also the snack of choice at the French - and the fresh baguette bun and spicy French mustard taste like nothing you'll find at home.  The best part? Here, the foot-long isn't just for the extra-hungry: it's the only option.

2. Federer Babywatch: From the looks of it, Roger Federer is going to be a daddy in the next couple of months.  We saw wife Mirka on the grounds today, and although the couple didn't announce a due date, I'm hoping for a grass court baby.

Federer won his second round match today against Argentinean Jose Acasuso in 4 sets.

3. Day 5, Round 2: One American out of nine remains in the men's singles draw.  Sixth seed Andy Roddick is on court now, facing Ivo Minar of the Czech Republic in his second round match. Roddick should make it to next week, but is it too much to hope for an American in the quarterfinals? Possibly, if he has to face Frenchman Gael Monfils in the 4th round. Monfils is seeded 11th this year, and is always a high-energy force in Paris with the crowd on his side - last year he made it to the semis and lost to Roger Federer in 4 sets.  Potential DVR-alert there if the next two rounds play out accordingly.
