Since it's after the Australian Open, we start in May, in the lead up to the French Open where Rafael Nadal is preparing to defend his title this year.

Rafael Nadal has won Sao Paulo, Acapulco, Indian Wells, Barcelona and Madrid. His form coming into Roland Garros, despite his injury last year, is good. However, his chances at winning Roland Garros are slimmer as Novak Djokovic has hit some (sporadic) form, taking Nadal out at Monte Carlo, but being a no-show everywhere else.

Federer has had appauling form as of late, and has not even reached a final this year.

Murray is generally bad on clay, so he isn't worth talking about.

Del Potro, Berdych and Tsonga are threats, but that is about all they are.


Prediction: Nadal to win Roland Garros for the 8th time after defeating either Djokovic or Federer in a tightly contested final.

Sabratha I agree with that entire post.

Any thoughts on Wimbledon yet?

I agree on everything except the last sentence involving Federer...
He will not be in the Final

Wimbledon? Too early to say, although I would like to think all of the top four stand a chance. An upset could occur though and a surprise finalist can always become a surprise winner, so it is hard to tell.
