Rafa is going to be upset this year in the finals but not by Fed, Djoker, Nalby, Tsonga, Ferrer, etc...
He will be dethroned by none other than Andy Roddick!!!!!!

I don't see Roddick making it past the 4th round in this years French Open. I think Nadal is the favorite once again to win the French but I think this year will be tougher for him because of the newer rivals coming up such as Djokovic and Tsonga.
Ah I think he can handle it.If Nadal plays the same schedule he played last year, I don't see him winning the French.
He seriously needs to be more picky about the number of tourneys he plays.
Ran out of steam in Hamburg but won the French Open and almost won Wimbledon despite a rough schedule due to the rain.i dont think nadal should play hamburg
last year he ran out of steam

i think nadal will win the frech with ease, as he has in past years
I give Federer a shot at winning it this year, but it's more likely he wins the other 2. I think you'll see a new champ this year at RG. Possibly Gasquet.
Gasquet will never win on home soil. He just turns into a mental case.
Totally agree. Look at how selective Federer is. Outside of slams and masters he only plays in Basel and Dubai. Makes 10 mil. Not bad.If Nadal plays the same schedule he played last year, I don't see him winning the French.

djoker is not that good on clay ...... he will probably lose against a clay specialist early on like before quarters
tell me who can grind down nadal in a 5 set match on clay?
unless he gets sick, injured, or dead.....
It's an obvious answer to many but with those bad knees, could he be uncrowned this year?
Djokovic has a real shot in knocking out Fed in the semis if he is on Fed's side again. I don't see him having a shot against Nadal though.
You mean a guy who grew up on clay and got to semis to lose to invincible nadal last year is not that good on clay. Well whats good to you ? Only nadal ?
Lmao. Nadal is the King of Clay. Federer is not. Federer and Djokovic play with the usual style and therefore it is about an equal matchup while Nadal plays with awesome King of Clay style. No one else does it.He has the same shot of taking either out, not match is a given even on clay.

People count out one single but most important thing, top spin. It raises level of the ball above the shoulder, noone likes it and nadal is relly not a same kind of animal on Hc and on clay. He really really believes in himself like 10 times more on clay, so thats a key for me. He needs 2 wins on clay to regain that confidence and kick ass for the rest of the clay court season. We are all aware tennis has a lot to do with psychology.
This is true. Nobody likes it including Roger. But I believe Roger has the best chance of winning the French because his genuis means there is always the possibility of him finding a way...
Remember the 19-odd break points he had against Nadal in last years FO final?
If he had converted half of them he would have had a calendar slam in 2007.
This just proves Roger has the game. No one else has yet come close.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Nadal will not only win the Rolland Garros, but Wimbledon (that's right, i said it) as well!
