1. I don't love him...in fact, you're gonna be hard pressed to find any tennis fans here!
But welcome, keep posting...should be an interesting French open...especially on the women's side.

3. The best thing about him is that he can beat Federer

4. I always loved the scrappy counter-punching baseliners
Not the dime a dozen baseliners of this era who just try to muscle everything. I'm amazed by Nadal's mental toughness. I always root for him, especially against Federer. I just hope his knees hold up, he seems to blow them out after the clay court season and weakens his chances for Wimbledon.

I'm a hugh111!! tennis fan, btw. One of the pure joys of life. :hi:

5. Expectations for RG
Edited on Fri May-21-10 01:32 AM by Eg-ptiangirl
Do you think that Nadal can win RG? Do you think Gulbis or Soderlinck can bring troubles before final? I think if it happens to be another Federer_Nadal final, Federer will try every thing to win as the h2h will be 15_7 and it will deepen his fear from Nadal before Wimbledon, Nadal from another point will be very confidant and will try to prove his dominance of clay courts and his dominance over Federer.

As for Women It sucks now, sadly WTA is about fashion and bodies and it seems like no one cares about Tennis any more. I used to be a huge Sharapova fan but I don't know what happened to her :( I am also a Serena fan but she will not play RG
I think Henin will win RG and the final will be Henin_Jankovic or Dementieva, of course Jankovic has the game to win a slam but she seems so distracted by her showy personality.
Others include Safina


Vamos Rafa!

7. I assume RG is Roland Garros?
I'm pretty sure Serena is playing the French, Venus as well. I don't know how well Justine Henin is playing, but that'll add some spark into the women's draw. Wasn't there an American girl who made it to the semis of the US Open last year? I can't remember her name, but is she doing as well this year? I actually think the women's side is getting less predictable, but I honestly don't follow too closely till right about now.

I'm not as up on the men's side, I don't recognize the two guys you named. If they got into the higher rounds of Wimbledon or the US Open last year I'll probably know them when I see them and be able to give you an opinion on how much of a challenge they may put up against Nadal. I believe he's won the last couple of tournaments and he's back to how he played a couple years ago. I hope so, he's amazing to watch.
