If Monfils is fully focused, he can absolutely make a run. He has made the Semifinals here in the past, and was two sets away from the US Open Final just last year.

Also, having looked at the draw (it came out this morning), Monfils has a pretty easy draw early on.


He also hasn't played a single match in the clay season. If he makes it to the second week, color me surprised.

Halep is injured and is considering not even playing the tournament. Muguruza retired from her match in Rome with injury, and given her form this year, even on clay, she is definitely not clearly the best clay courter, in my opinion. I think Kuznetsova is the best. Muguruza has a very tough First Round match against another former Roland Garros champion, Francesca Schiavone


See, I told you I knew nothing about vag tennis. :)

(though I do think Muguruza is the best clay courter)

Tennys Sandgren actually has a winnable first round match. Get it done, my man!

Does anyone have a decent list of RG futures?

I believe this is what you are looking for, although it's much better on PC. On mobile, you have to click each player to see all the odds.

Not-so-subtle brag... I got Zverev at 65/1 on Feb 17th, but only for $10. Not that he's gonna win or anything.

With Djoker and Thiem being in the same quarter, which is a brutal quarter, by the way.

Djoker's Quarter:
Thiem
Schwartzman
Pouille
Goffy
Steve Johnson
Borna Coric

That's nasty, and unbalanced, and unfair.

Rafa's Quarter:
Dogshit Milos
Busta Rhymes
Playboy Grigs
Sock
Bautista
Gilles Simon

Clayray's Quarter:
Delpo
Alex Zverev
Berdy
Eggshell Kei

Stanimal Quarter:
Cilic
Honey Nut Kyrgios (but with a bum hip)
Faggy O fig Nee Nee
Frenchie Trio: Gassy, Monfils, Jo


Novak's quarter is the toughest by some margin.

Playboy Grigs

Saw he split up with Scherzinger and he's already hanging/banging with Alize Lim, who was apparently with Paire and Chardy before.

Almost forgot...

God bless Grigolo and his lady friends.

Speaking of Paire, this guy is the number one egomaniac douchebag ever. I guess old man Haas beat him at MC, and he said: "The guy is a nobody, he plays at 2 mph...I play 2 seconds and I whoop him 2 and 2..." Maybe he likes the heel role.

Frenchies are weird. I've never liked Paire. I just don't like the way he carries himself.


ETA: it's as if competitiveness is considered a sin in France. How good could Gasquet have been if he gave two shits? He was a super-prodigy? What about Gael Monfils who's game is essentially flawless, athleticism off the charts, but who also just happens to play the game like he's still in the 14s. Oh, and, btw, Monfils was apparently untouchable in junior tennis. Somebody can correct me on this if it's wrong, but I think he won 4 junior grand slams. And has that guy even cracked the top ten?

Maybe Pouille might have a little bit of fight in him. Gilles Simon does, to his credit, he's just not as gifted on the shotmaking front.
