Who do you think will win Roland Garros this year?

There are about five players with an excellent chance of winning the French. There are also about 20 other players that are capable of winning but are considered dark horse / longshots to win. Nadal being the favorite to WIN, Federer is between 2 and 4 on on players with the best chance.   Nadal, Nalbandian, Federer, Coria, Ferrer, Ferrero, Gasquet, Davydenko, Robredo etc. are all excellent contenders for the French Open

I'd love to see Federer win but Nadal still seems the safest bet. That said, with all the hype surrounding the clay-court winning streak, it almost seems like he could be riding for a fall. It often happens that way in sports. When someone is seen as so much of an invincible favorite going into a championship, that's when an upset or an injury or some other kind of misfortune occurs. Look at the New York Yankees. In 2000 they won the World Series over the Mets (the famous "Subway Series"). The next year they go out as HEAVY favorites over the Diamondbacks and...LOSE! So yes, stranger things have happened.\nAs far as my favorite of the two. Federer, hands down. Such all-round dominance over the past 3 years, 7 Slams without losing in a final, the best game to watch by a long way. He mixes offense and defense, and can hit every coceivable shot.\nFavorite of all-time. I guess, Sampras. When you look at what he did for most of a decade against a particularly strong top ten. The amount of classic matches. He's a natural pick. \nFederer looks like he could reach that level, but he's still got a lot of winning to do first

The  one I can think of right now is Nadal who won it last year.  Gaston Gaudio won it in 2004, he's in the draw.  Juan Carlos Ferrero won it in 2003, he's in the draw.  Carlos Moya is in the draw he won it in 1998.  That's all the former champs that have entered this year.

I like Sharapova, I hope she could win again. \nBut Henin-Hardene is in good shape, too ... and she just won a couple of other tournaments just before Wimbledon.\n\nI watched Venus Williams' match last night, against another US player, Mattek. Easy win for Venus.

I think Henin-Hardenne will pull it out, though I'd love to see Mauresmo win in front of the home crowd. And, of course, a surprise victory by Hingis would be good for the game...and stunning for her on clay.\n\nStill, I think Henin has something to prove after not having the stamina and health to play through the Aussie Open. If she's in form entering France, I think she'll cut a mean path through the women's draw. She plays well in heat and her backhand is one of the most exciting shots on either circuit. And she's just 5'6", so no excuses for the rest of us when we complain that we're too small or weak to play the game! A whole mess of coaches are eating crow every time Henin goes out and excels.\n-cK

I am going to make what people are going to say is a crazy pick, but i will pick Henry from the French team because Frances group is very weak.  Even though Brazil has been winning their matches 5-0, i think that trend will stop soon, and that the weakness of France's group will help Henry.

True but ive heard that cote divoire is a very strong team this year. They also have a tough group though so who knows.
