A mon avis, Federer sera encore N°1 en 2007. Il est quand même bien au-dessus du lot.\n\nNadal est très fort sur terre battue, mais il souffre encore sur dur à cause de lacunes techniques et de son jeu très basé sur le physique. Cela dit, il progresse chaque année donc s'il n'est pas trop blessé la marge entre les 2 joueurs peut se réduire.\nMais je ne vois pas Nadal comme la seule menace de Federer : Roddick peut créer la surprise sur dur, Nalbandian, Safin (s'il revient à son meilleur), Gasquet (voir la finale de Toronto et Monte Carlo 2005) et d'autres ne demandent qu'à faire une perf...  Donc le pauvre Roger a encore du boulot !

I'd like to think so. It certainly looks possible. He's got closer every time they've played on clay, and noone is a better scout of their opponents than Federer. By now he's surely picking up pointers on what he has to do. \nThe enormous amount of pressure put on Nadal by the tennis media may well serve to help Roger too.

Nadal has the perfect clay game - he's left-handed, so he can put crazy spins on the ball that is difficult for any player to handle - even Federer.  Federer has every game he's played against Nadal this year!  Federer is NOT a perfect player, or else Nadal would not be able to play him.  Everyone has a weakness and Federer's has two: clay courts, and underestimating his opponents.  Nadal is an amazing player, and Federer did not take him seriously enough to win the French Open.

Malheureusement Nadal n'est vraiment bon que sur terre... alors que Federer est très bon sur tous les terrains. Parfois mieux vaut etre presque parfait partout que parfait dans un seul domaine :)

moi aussi je me pose la même question. au 1er set j y ai cru reelement. J'adore federer et je suis sure qu il sera en pleine forme pour gagner roland garros en 2007!

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.

La palette technique de Federer est la plus complète: les professionnels considèrent qu'elle est sans doute la plus complète depuis Rod Laver. C'est pour cela qu'il est à son aise sur toutes les surfaces. \nNadal possède un mental extraordinaire et un physique à la Thomas Muster. Il est en cela supérieur à Federer. Mais il est moins complet techniquement. Par exemple, il ne possède pas grand chose dans son tennis qui puisse lui permettre de gagner des points facilement, sans effort, au contraire de Federer. Et ça, sur un match, un tournoi, notamment en Grand Chelem, cela compte énormément.\nLe plus doué techniquement, parmi les plus jeunes, Murray, Berdych et autres Baghdatis (qui sont déjà tous dans le Top 20), c'est Gasquet. D'ailleurs, ce n'est pas un hasard s'il est l'un des rares à avoir déjà battu Federer. Ce serait génial s'il pouvait suivre les traces du Suisse....

I think Roger Federer is gonna win on the men's side this year.

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?

because Nadal is an expert on clay court not like Federer who is only best on grass and hard court

Hmm, I always he had potential, but maybe his injury did more damage than expected. That's a shame, I quite like him actually. \nWe need more players to compete with Federer ... otherwise he'll keep adding numbers to his winning streak. \n\nI'm hoping Andy Roddick can play well this time at Wimbledon ...

Barring injury, he is almost certain to remain #1 through the year. I expect him to win a minimum of one more major this year, and quite possibly all of them. \nWho is around to challenge for #1? No one below Federer has as good a chance to win the majors. Nadal might win the French again, but probably not Wimbledon or the U.S. Roddick is a possible winner at the U.S., but not likely at Wimbledon and certainly not at the French. Hewitt has a chance for the French and U.S., but not Wimbledon. Nalbandian has a good chance at the U.S., but probably won't win at Wimbledon or the French.\nThe only person likely to win on all surfaces is Federer. I cannot see anyone else challenging him this year.

its federer or nadal.

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.

No, I don't think he will.\n\nHowever, I believe he shall reach one more Grand Slam final, probably at the United States Open.\n\nRoger Federer and Andy Roddick shall never again win a major title. That is, at least, my prediction. However, I am very unsure.\n\nI believe the following years shall be dominated by a comeback by Juan Carlos Ferrero and James Blake, Guillermo Coria, Rafael Nadal, Marcos Baghdatis, Andy Murray, and Francisco Verdasco.\n\nAlso, Nikolay Davydenko and David Nalbandian will continue to linger barely inside the TOP 10.
