The French Open starts today..
Nadal unbeatable on clay at the moment and is a strong favoutite to 'reclaim' his French Tilte from defending Champion Roger Federer.
Masive first round match for Andy Murray tomorrow against dangerous unseeded player and local favourite Richard Gasquet. Gasquet coming off the back of a tournament Win last week, so Murray got his work cut out right from the off on the red clay.
Predictions:-
Nadal to beat Tsonga in the Final.
Murray to lose tomorrow to Gasquet. (hope not though)
Rafa going for his 5th Roland Garros triumph and 7th Slam.
Federer going for his 2nd French Title and 17th ( ) Slam overall.

Re: Tennis Talk
Congrats Francesca! Couldn't bear to see the Aussie girl win lol.
Re: Tennis Talk
Well done Rafa on winning the men's singles title at the French Open he's my own tip to win Wimbledon
Re: Tennis Talk
I'd still go for Federer to win Wimbledon, but yeah congrats to Rafa - at this rate he's going to smash Borg's men's record of 6 French Open titles (I don't count the 8 won by Max Decugis as they were all won when you had to be a member of a French tennis club to compete lol). How many do you guys think Rafa can win? I can see him winning at least 8.
Re: Tennis Talk
I think at least 9 Mark the way Rafa's going

Re: Tennis Talk
I see Federer's out now, didn't like his interview afterwards, blamed a "bad back" for losing, never gave any credit to his opponent, don't like him no more, arrogant and selfish pig.

Re: Tennis Talk
Has to be Murrays best chance with federer and Roddick are both out

All depends on those dodgy knees Murrays got to be aggressive and prolong the match. Murrays a top class player but Nadal is an all time great.
Re: Tennis Talk
I agree.Paddy McGinty wrote:I see Federer's out now, didn't like his interview afterwards, blamed a "bad back" for losing, never gave any credit to his opponent, don't like him no more, arrogant and selfish pig.
Normaly Federer give all the credits to his opponent, but this time he blamed his self.
I can't believe it. Federer was not playing bad or something, berdych played awesome
I hope he goes all the way now and play like he did as yesterday then he has a good chance to win it
Re: Tennis Talk
Federer looked really old out there against his younger and more aggressive oppenent. I reckon this could be the end for Roger now regarding Winning anymore Slams.
Murray looking impressive, but now comes the real test as he faces the World number one Rafael Nadal. I can see it going five sets with the Spaniard edging it to make his way into the Final to face Tomas Berdych.

Re: Tennis Talk
Ive been watching Nadal throughout this year and I think he now has the class to win Wimbledon, I know grass is not his favourite surface but I think he will still win this year.gers222 wrote:Paddy McGinty wrote:There is only one winner I'm afraid, and I believe he'll be from Spain.nikkiboy wrote:Has to be Murrays best chance with federer and Roddick are both out
