yeah he has a real chance at the french...
He's been third in the betting favs market behind Novak and Nadal. He should go very close indeed.

Bertens having a great year, would love her to do well at the french, but still unsure about her at slams and added pressure with all the expectations now.

What a match between Nadal and Tipsy:clapping:

Famous last words, but French for the men seems moderately open. Nadal, Novak, Tipsy, Thiem all serious contenders.

Unsure about Federer, but won't rule him out yet, Rome will tell us more.

Even with a slightly diminished level on clay, Nadal will be incredibly hard to beat at Roland Garros, over 5 sets and on his favourite clay court.

Nadal had a pretty poor 2015 IIRC. Still yeah, great effort to beat him easily at RG. And then Stan stopped Novak in the fnal...

If they were to meet in the final this year, which I think is quite probable, I'd probably just about make Nadal favourite, but things can still change.

He's an absolute joke.
No no no.

Remember what his fans constantly tell us "he's a character " etc. :ph34r:

What he did wasn't exactly awful, but just so many incidents with him sadly.

I know the game needs new stars, but this knob who rarely achieves anything in Slams is not going to draw a dime acting like this.

Nadal is always the favourite at RG unless proven otherwise. Always.

He could turn up on roller skates at the age of 80 and that would still be true at the French Open.

I don't think Federer has a hope in hell at the French Open, Even if the big two got struck by lightning I still don't think he would win it.
