Since the other post got anchored, figured i would start another one.

Nadal does seem to have it easy with his draw. I do like having the potential Fed/Djoker match-up in the SF. However, Fed may have a tough one with Nalbandian in the second round.

I didn't even notice that when looking at the draw, should be an interesting match.

Nadal's quarter is ridiculously easy.

He got Murray and Tipsarevic, the lowest seeds he could have gotten for those rounds while Djoker got the 2 highest although Tsonga is not a real force on clay.

I think Ferrer takes Murray out in the 1/4s and gives Nadal a better match in the semis. Nadal will lose ONE set max before the final.

So who wins in the final between Nadal/Djoke.*


*Yes, I think this is inevitable.

Gonna depend on if Nadal can stay fairly injury free through this one. I'd put money on Nadal if he can.

I'd go with Nadal. Should be one hell of a match if it happens though. Djokovic has to want this badly. If he wins he'll be the only person since Laver to hold all 4 slam titles at once

it's absolutely ridiculous how Djoker's game has just skyrocketed over the past year or so. dude went from automatic semis out in majors to nearly impossible to beat. great story, lots of fun to watch.

It's not like Roddick has ever played well in Paris. He's putting all his focus on one more Wimbledon run.
