Nadal is getting some good looks to win. I'd like to see Andy make it pretty far (even though I know Americans tend to suck at Roland-Garros). It was questionable if he would even be here pending a foot injury. Federer should do well as usual.
On the women's side I'd like to see Martina do well to further her amazing return to tennis. And of course I would like to see Maria do well so we can see as much of her as possible. 5/28/2006 5:06:58 PM |

I doubt Roddick makes it past the 3rd round. He's just been sucking it up, as of late.
Ha, he retired in the 1st round. While he might've lost some time ago, I made my prediction before I knew that he had lost.

HOLY SHIT this match between Nadal and Hewitt is classic.... Nadal just dropped a Borg-like drop shot to go up a break 5-4 in the 3rd set 6/5/2006 10:03:55 AM |

Anything other than a Nadal - Federer final would be a disappointment. Federer's got a tough draw this week though. 6/5/2006 10:37:31 AM |

^And she doesn't have to worry about Sharapova or Mauresmo, who made her annual early exit from the home event. Oh well, yet another sport the French can't win in their own country (France's 1998 World Cup team is a rare exception). 6/6/2006 1:25:31 AM |

yeah dude, I freakin love watching Nadal play - i hope he wins like he did last year. And Roddick has been suckin a lot lately, but I'd probably quit early too to avoid my ankle being fucked up for the rest of my life 6/6/2006 3:16:06 PM |

Tell me something.
In the men's singles draw, the top 4 seeds made it to the semis, but why the hell do they set it up where 1 play 3, and 2 plays 4, isn't it supposed to be 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3?????? 6/8/2006 10:03:29 AM |

Actually Federer is playing a lot better than Nadal right now and i wouldnt be surprised at all if he beats him in the final...
i put $50 on Nadal at the start of the tourney though, so im hoping he can pull it off...

Because the draw is always random in all tennis tournaments (including juniors). They separate the top seeds and then randomly assign them to brackets.

That was really surprising, compared to Nadal's number which was way lower.
