French Open Quarterfinal Predictions

[tvp900]

True, the draw isn't out yet, but I wanted to make up a draw from the quarters on based roughly on the current rankings. Make your own, or just comment on mine. Here it is:

Quarterfinals
Federer def. Cilic - 4 grueling sets
Monfils def. Verdasco - Verdasco runs out of steam after his long clay season
Ferrer def. Gulbis - 5 set thriller, multiple tiebreaks
Nadal def. Roddick - 4 sets to the surprise of everyone.

Semifinals
Federer def. Monfils - straight sets just like always
Nadal def. Ferrer - straight sets, Ferrer runs out of gas

Finals
Nadal def. Federer - Fueled by his recent win over him, Nadal takes back his crown in 4 sets

Quaters:
Federer Def Gonzalez in 3
Verdasco def Ferrer in 4
Monfils def Djokovic in 3
Nadal Def Gulbis in 5

Semis:
Federer Def Verdasco in 4
Nadal Def Monfils in 5

Final:

Federer def Nadal in 4 ( Note: Nadal was tired by the last two 5 setters, So federer win over Nadal isn't legit....better to put an asterix beside this one like some people want for the 2009 Final)!

@ OP, oh how I would love Cilic to actually do that well. He has better form in the slams than Masters tournys, but I doubt he'll make it that far.

Are you kidding? Federer would straight set Soderling, Nadal would Straight set Gonzalez (winning non-tiebreaker sets too) and nadal would straight set Djokovic. It's so obvious that it's a Nadal vs Federer final.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

I think Soderling wants it. Bad.
Gonzo is untested at the moment. But I'm seeing him as a bit more consistent than before. Still, he is badbadbadbadbad at TBs

I want Nadal to win, but I hope you're right about Soderling (or anyone) defeating Federer.

I lol'd at some of these predictions. Monfils beating Nadal in 5 sets? Right...

Finals

The draw released makes those two quarter finals impossible.

Gulbis would play Cilic in the 3rd round.


Either way my quarter finals

Fed v Soderling
Murray v Tsonga
Djokivic v Ferrer
Nadal v Verdasco
