Who takes it this year?

Does Nadal continue his dominance at Roland Garros?

Does Djokovic complete the grand slam and assert his dominance

Does Federer have one more in him?

Does Andy Murray break thru?

who takes it?

C'mon man this is the easiest bet in sports; Nadal wins his 7th to surpass Bjorg and probably drops 2 sets at the most.

Fed and Joker will be in the semi's as well but Murray's draw is tough. He could come out, Ferrer could come out, and IF Isner gets hot anf his serve is on, he could come out.

As for the women's side, if Serena avoids an early round upset, it's her tourney to win


Can you edit the title to the official tennis thread?

Yup, make it official tennis thread.
Wanted to do it after Nadal victory at Rome but didn't know if they were that many tennis followers here :rudy:

Nadal will win this French Open.
Fed's part is hell, he may face Berdych or Del Potro, then Djokovic then finally Nadal to win this.
Djokovic is not as good as last year when he was invicible and it seems that Nadal finally have the answer to the this Nole. I've seen a little of the Rome final and he seems to attack more and be more aggressive than he was last year. Similar than the 3rd set of last year US Open's final.
Murray is a non factor, when it comes to Grand Slam & the Big 3.

I think I can't keep underestimating Berdych, he's going to be tough as hell to beat at the French. Something about Djoker has been "off" this year and could be ripe for an upset.

I only care for the women's side as per the usual. Time to check on the new Euro updates on who's in.

Berdych is good this year on clay but I don't know if he can keep up the level on this surface on a 5 set match. I mean, he has been impressive at Madrid but this blue clay was really fast so I don't know if it can count. At Rome he lost to Nadal and at Monte Carlo he lost to Djoko, the top 2 on clay.

Here's the top 10 (with the best looking photos I found, even though I don't think they sure can't compete with eastern pornstars)

Coming off last season's performance, it seemed Joker would win this too. But ya'll are right, he's isn't as dominant. I still give him a 50/50 shot vs Nadal. He seems to always step up when needed.

It still saddens me that Roger got a french open due to Nadal being out

Women's side is always a toss up since Serena is no longer the dominant force she was.

Bartoli! The French suckable girl with the jiggly ass...at least the last time I saw her. Ultra nice for whatever reason. Wish she could win more on the big stage.

That Kerber girl looks like a undercover villain on the Kournikova level of deception:smugdraper:

tbf if nadal hadn't come around roger would probs have around 25 grand slams...but he'd also have ended up half the player he became

well if roger hadn't come around roddikk would have 7-10 slams :to:

plenty, back in the 'old country' it surprised me how many people chimed in

Ova, Pova, Bova, Cova, Dova. They'll do well for half a year, maybe get to a GS Semi, go top 10, then collapse mentally and spend the rest of their lives in the fringes. I've quit trying to follow the women's game like that.

Thought Del Potro was gonna have a scare today when he dropped that set but he seems to be fine. IDK about him though; he hasn't beaten a TOP player in a while and again he finds himself having to go through Fed if he's trying to make a deep run this year in Paris.

To be quite honest, I think who's going to finish as the runner up will be more interesting than who's going to win Roland Garros.
