I guess Nadal is the favorite to get the title once again, but i'd like to see David Ferrer holding the trophy
Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

If Fed don't have Rafa in the draw before the final he can reach for sure the final.

Indeed,this man deserves a Roland Garros.Unlucky he's playing in the same era with those extraordinary guys.
Offtopic but Davydenko deserved a slam as well.He was a very consistent top10 player and same goes for him..

Yeah he's likely to meet Nole in the semis. Plus he has last year's final points to defend.

Nole can be the big winner in RG this year.

Speaking of Ferrer, he has been in the Top 8 for such a long time and seeing him only reaching 2 quarter finals in what should be his preferred grand slam is underwhelming to say the least.

Roland Garros is Nadals backyard! He will win again this year! And Nadal defeated djoko in their last 2 games playing really good! But i would like to see Federer winning the tournament!

One of the top 3 will lose early, before the QF.

It's a shame that Soderling is fcked. I miss that heavy forehand.
I think Berdych could be an outsider, or Raonic, who knows.

Nadal has changed the way he plays against Djokovic. It's obvious he's now able to play more deep balls than last year.

As he's more offensive, Djokovic had then no chance at Roma. I think it will be the same @Roland.

And by the way, Djokovic has often problems @Roland (surprising defeat against melzer, defeat against fed last year after havining not played the previous round against fognigni) etc.

Djokovic vs Nadal in Roland Garros will be different than in Rome. Rome is MUCH slower than Roland Garros.

Fed out in rd.1?

Murray hopefully wins but no chance. Still think Murray will own at the Olympics.

Holy crap
To win is to achieve success. To compete and lose and try again is greatness

Olympics are played on Grass, don't think it's an advantage for Murray but I don't know how the court compares to Wimbledon.

BTW Tam, R64 is 2nd round :)
