French Open

[C-Lo]

Why the f*ck can't Blake ever make it out of the first round on the French Open?!

I'm actually happy this thread has so many people talking about it. I always thought it was just Me and Legion that talked about tennis. Other than boxing, this tied with Football for being my next favorite sport to watch.

My head says Nadal will win, but my heart goes with Roddick.

For the women's side, I think Ivanovic may take it, but I would love to have a threesome with Ivanovic and Sharapova (had to throw that in there).

I'm going with Nadal for the French and Federer for Wimbledon

Nadal is unstoppable on clay! Federer may be playing with something to prove this upcoming Wimbledon but Nadal has proven he just as good on that surface. That guy is scary good!

Nadal looks strong for the French as usual, I'll be cheering on Federer though. He never quite makes it on the clay which is a shame. I would like him to win the French open one time before he retires.

I agree Miles I wouldn't mind seeing Federer snatch a french open title before he retires.

I have also always been a fan of Roddick mainly because he's from the US but he just never puts it all togehter all he really has is the serve and that only gets you so far.

The clay court just makes Roddick's strengths that much weaker. I'm a Roddick fan too! And I believe (but I gradually believe less and less each slam) he can pull another one out.

Of course I'd like to see Fed win a FO to cap off his grand slam trophy case. He could do it, but he will be in deep if he makes it to Novak Djokovich; who is playing huge clay tennis lately. Fed did just beat Nadal 2 weeks ago at Madrid on clay so that gave him a boost mentally; but it is hard to bet against Nadal at Roland Garros. He does look a little off lately, probably due to him playing so much tennis this year.

I'll take Nadal, hard to bet against someone who has dominated for 4 years; but it could be Novak or Verdasco's year if Nadal runs empty.


On te women's side I want Safina to win; otherwise I couldn't care less. As long as Maria "Big Bird" Sharapova or those hood rat sisters Serena and Venus don't win.

I actually don't want to see Fed win the career grand slam. Nothing personal, I just like knowing Agassi is the only modern day player to have done that. (If you didn't know, Agassi is probably my favorite athlete ever). Plus, him and his wife are the only two tennis players with Career Golden Grand Slam titles as singles players. I don't think they'll find company in that category ever...
