Justine rules!  Very consistent, number one on the ranking with the very least number of tournament played.\n\nAs for american player, there is Sharapova.  Not quite but otherwise the tennis world will remain american free for an other 3 years I would say.

Absolutely Roger Federer. First of all, he's one it 3 consecutive times before. Second of all, his ethic for playing on grass is better than anyone else in the world...he has unbelievable control, his determination has proved great, and not to mention, his strokes are long and powerful. He is the winner, hands down. On the women's side...I think it's Maria Sharapova's time again...though she'll have difficult opponents and lost in the third round of the French, she is best on grass, and she can really get her play to where it belongs this year.

Federer over Roddick, Henin-H over Mauresmo. May be wrong, but sounds like a good bet.

I'm not sure what your queston is, but let me try these:\n\nWhen is "Roland Garros" this year -- R/G is the site of the French Open, the only clay court major championship, to be played from 5-28 to 6/11 this year.\n\nWho/what  was Roland Garros --why the name?  Apparently, he was a French aviation pioneer who was the first to fly over the Mediterranean.\n\nWho will win the French Open this year?  Will Nadal be in shape to defend?  Will Federer take the major that has eluded him during his 3-year stretch of dominance?  Other candidates?  Something tells me that Federer  will not win this year (he'll end up winning a couple in his career) and it won't be Nadal either.  Having said that, I hope they will be seeded in different halves and play one another for the title.\n\nThe women?  Can Mauresmo deal w/ the pressure, having finally won a major?  Who's going to be healthy?  Not a prediction, but I'd love to see Hingis cement her comeback with a title here.\n\nWas your question answered?

For the men, Rafael Nadal has just tied the winning streak on clay set by Guillermo Vilas in 1977.  That year, Vilas won the French Open and U.S. Open.  When Tomas Muster won the French Open, he had been on a huge win streak.  Nadal also beat Federer in an incredibly close match to tie the record, and Federer is number 1.  It's tougher to say who the favorite for the women is.

I would say Federer on the men's side. No question. 7 slams, 24 consecutive wins in finals, 2 years finishing number one. Nuff said. \nOn the women's side, it's a little tougher, but I guess on balance Henin-Hardenne.

MEN:\nIt is most likely that Nadal will make it into the final, but if Federer makes it to the final too, Federer might beat Nadal. Federer has been adjusting to Nadal's play on clay, and i think Federer will put an end to Nadal's winning streak on clay, because what goes up must come down. But, if Federer does not make it to the Final (maybe gets beaten by Nalbandian if on the same side of the draw), then Nadal has the best chance. So my point is: Federer has the best chance then the rest at beating Nadal on clay.\n\nWOMEN:\nThis one is mostly a wild guess since dominance in women's tennis is very distributed. In fact, there has not been a women in tennis in the past 10(?) grand slams that has won at least 2 out of those 10(?) grand slams. But here are my predictions of who has a chance: WINNERS: Hardenne, Petrova, or Kuznetsova. RUNNER UPS: Hingis, Clijsters, or Mauresmo.

I'd like to hate Lleyton Hewitt because of what he did to James Blake and one umpire (who happened to be 'black') a few years ago. But I have seen him improve his on-court behavior so I try to forget what he did during his younger years.\n\nRafael Nadal is also a very intense player, to a point that he sometimes cheers for his opponents' errors, an act which does not comprise a perfect gentleman of the game.\n\nI assume many would say Nicolar Kiefer because of his bad antics during his battle with Sebastian Grosjean some couple of months ago. However, I find him forgiveable because he is one guy who would always try his best to win a game. \n\nIt would be much easier to answer who are my favorites. Simple. Federer and Blake. Nice role-models for tennis afficionados. Mild-mannered, gentleman and good ambassadors of the game.

roger federer is the best & he will win.\n\nRoger Federer\n\nRoger Federer is a Swiss professional tennis player who in 2004 became the 23rd World No. 1 in tennis. He is currently the No. 1 player in the world (and defending this title since February 2004) and (as of 9 June 2006) is working on the second-longest consecutive stay in the Men's World No. 1 ranking. Only Ivan Lendl and Jimmy Connors surpass him in this record.\n\nIn 2004, Federer became the first man since Mats Wilander in 1988 to win three out of four Grand Slam events in the same year. He is widely regarded as the dominant player of his era and is already considered to be one of the greatest players of all time.\n\nCountry Switzerland \nResidence Oberwil, Switzerland \nDate of birth 8 August 1981 \nPlace of birth Basel, Switzerland \nHeight 185 cm (6 ft 1 in) \nWeight 80 kg (177 lb) \nTurned Pro 1998 \nPlays Right, Single hand backhand \nCareer Prize Money $22,629,383 \nSingles \nCareer record: 429-123 \nCareer titles: 37 (13th in overall rankings) \nHighest ranking: No. 1 (2 February 2004) \nGrand Slam results \nAustralian Open W (2004 • 06) \nFrench Open F (2006 - ongoing*) \nWimbledon W (2003 • 04 • 05) \nU.S. Open W (2004 • 05) \nDoubles \nCareer record: 101-66 \nCareer titles: 7 \n\nBiography\nFederer was born August 8, 1981 in Basel, Switzerland in the small city of Binningen, to Robert Federer and Lynette Federer.

Lynette was born and raised in Kempton Park, Gauteng, South Africa. Lynette no longer works at the company and is now a manager at the Roger Federer Foundation.

He currently resides in Oberwil, Switzerland, and is dating former WTA player and fellow Swiss Miroslava Vavrinec (Mirka), who retired from the game in 2002 after a foot injury; the two met at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.\n\nHe co-established the Roger Federer Foundation in December 2003. Its goals include funding projects that benefit disadvantaged children, primarily in South Africa. In January 2005, he encouraged efforts from tennis players for the people affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, saying he would play as many matches as possible in tournaments organized to raise funds for the tsunami victims and auctioned off his autographed rackets to raise funds for UNICEF's relief operations.\n\nFederer also launched a fragrance and cosmetics line called RF Cosmetics in October 2003.\n\nOn April 3, 2006, Federer was appointed a Goodwill Ambassador to UNICEF [1], which helps poor children around the world.\n\nTennis\n\nCareer\nRoger Federer started playing tennis at the age of eight. 1998 was Federer's last year in the Junior circuits; he won the Wimbledon Juniors title and the prestigious year-ending Orange Bowl.

Right now, I would have to say Martina Hingis, because she is agressive, athletic and just plain good (she's cute too). All time, Steffi Graf. For men? John McEnroe. I just love his in your face attitude. Currently, I like Rafael Nadal for pretty much the same reasons as Martina, well, I don't know if he's cute, since I'm a guy and I don't know what makes a man attractive.

Theres no doubt that Nadal is a great player, however, he only truly shines when playing on clay.  Federer on the other hand, has mastered all surfaces and has become a legend when compared to Nadal.  BUT, at the Roland Garros, since it IS a clay tournament, Nadal definitely may have an upper hand, as he has shown in the past when playing Federer.  It is a tough prediction, and, considering Nadal has had a lot of down time from being injured, I think that Federer might be able to pull out the next French.
