Given the performance of Nadal in Monte Carlo, there is only 1 favorite to win another Roland Garros. I am curious to know what odds the bookies will give us Tongue

Yeah I'm pretty certain that Nadal will win the French Open once again this year. I'm expecting the odds to be low as he is in fine form on clay heading into the French Open. I'm just glad to see him fit for the Open as it looked like a couple of months ago that he might miss this years French Open.

I hope he does , he deserves it . He has been injury prone but the dedication he has and he never fears that he might get injured again while playing the matches and how he fights for each and every point , he deserves all the trophies . I hope he has a great clay court season just like last year and still be at top spot after clay.

He won his 11th title in Monte Carlo and is currently ranked #1 in ATP competitions.
He could very well win the French open but with all the other players coming back to play in better form since they all rested and didn't have to togh it out to get to a finals except for Alexander Zverev, they all have that on their side.

Sometimes it makes me wonder as to what year it was because you didn't expect that Rafa and Federer are playing high tennis up to this moment. Grin

. Back in January or February, everyone was writing off Rafa because of injuries, but again he proved them all wrong and now he is the big favorite again to win the French Open, and it is said the Rafa owns this tournament and its hard to see him losing it.

Maybe there will be players giving him a good match, specially in the top 10 but I don't see them having a chance to stop him specially at this point.

I really think that the players now days are a lot more professional then back in the day. This is why we are seeing players continue to hold their top form late into their 30's. As long as injuries don't hold them back but as we have seen with Nadal he has come back from several injuries which might of ended many players careers.

I'm looking forward to the French Open even though there are some players in top form, I still can't see Nadal getting beat unless injury strikes him down mid way through the tournament which I hope doesn't happen.

In addition, maybe nutrition and sports therapist also improved a lot in the last decade or so that's why top players who hire good coaches and nutritionist/therapist to help them cope with the demands of high tennis that's why those veterans are still in the league and still playing a level of tennis unheard.

Worst comes to worst, its Nadal himself who will prevent him from raising another trophy this year. I really can't think of anyone matching him in French unless we got a freak injury mid day as you have pictured it.

Novak Djokovic is having trouble with Martin Kliztan in his first match back with that injured elbow.
It doesn't look too good even starting out for Novak being down the first set and Kliztan just hit double serve to be up 4 to 3 games in the final set.
It Djokovic loses this early match in this tournament I would have to say he is no longer a reliable top seed to guarantee match wins to these players who are not in the top 100. Martin Kliztan being ATP ranked 140 before the match with Novak Djokovic.

Note: He just lost his serve match and is down 5 to 3. Looks like he is going to bow out early in this Barcelona tour.nament Undecided
