BORIS BECKER: RAFAEL NADAL IS THE FAVORITE TO WIN THE FRENCH OPEN

[Gary Duane]

Why would he be now? This isn't about some perceived weak era anymore. It's about Djokovic looking like he'd rather be anywhere but on a tennis court. It's about him losing to Denis Istomin at his favourite tournament. Losing to Wawrinka in the USO Final (after getting a cakewalk of a draw to get there), and losing to Sam Querrey at Wimbledon. In between have been losses to RBA, Cilic, Delpo, and Murray, along with a withdrawal from Cincy.

Could he get his form back? Absolutely, and I'm expecting him to do so at some point (although not to his 2015-mid 2016 levels), but he's not a huge favourite in every tournament he plays anymore and I suspect he may never be again.

Father Time never loses.

That's it right there...

Nadal is co favourite with djokovic

Interesting that Djokovic is still considered best bet while Federer is down in 5th place!

not surprised tbh

Between 2012 - 16 Who performed better at RG ?

djokovic: 3x runner up, winner & 1 sf
Federer: 1 sf, 3 qf's & skipped once

Nadal is not winning anything till he fixes his forehand. It is 75% there, if the clay magic can get it to 90% then he has a shot.

Well there were times last clay season where he looked really good, had epic matches with Thiem and Monfils.
