Yes making things very heavy weather, not inspiring confidence when he still goes up and down mentally so much.

Kuznetsova blew it aswell against Bartoli. If Schiavone defends it will be almost as surprising as last year but great chance for her.

Federer really has nothing to lose in this match, I just hope he plays his best because his best is still good enough to defeat Djokovic as long as he does not go up and down mentally too much.

call me crazy but in my opinion we can consider Roger Federer as a dark horse at this Roland Garros, btw i don't think he can win a set to Nole on clay, Djokovic is , without any doubt, the new king on clay

Maybe at the moment, yes. But just because Rafa isn t at his best right now. :wink:

In my opinion his best clay court Tennis he played in the period 2005 - 2008, especially 2008.
Since 2009 he lost a little bit of his arm muscles. He became a better allround player but lost on clay.

Just compare it.

The best claycourter ever (imo) was this guy:

Not his dude:

It s the same guy...but not the same player (on clay).

yeah i know, i was talking about his performance, actually he has to win a lot to be even close to what Rafa has achieved on that surface.
