who will win the French Open/Rolland Garros this year?

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'm hoping Nakamura, just because he's the rising star.  Topalov is by far the better player - he's got 80 elo points on Kramnik, plus he's been way more active and is in better health.  Clearly he's the overall better player, and I hope (not that it'll happen) that he dominates the (mini)match in september.

I think Nadal has a decent chance to repeat, however there are many good competitors on this surface. I would'nt dismiss the possibility of Federer capturing this title, but he reminds me too much of Sampras, somewhat impatient for an outstanding clay court player. Look out for Nalbaldian, Gaudio, Coria and Davydenko!

Pete Sampras (USA) def. Todd Martin (USA), 7-6, 6-4, 6-4

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.

He is a Spanish tennis star.I am his fan. He is the current defending champion of the on-going Monte Carlo Masters tournament. Today, he thrashed Coria to qualify for the semi-final. I hope he retains his title this year.

Agassi is alive and well. He was injured for a while and was not seen on any courts. He is back healthy and playing in Wimbledon. He will retire after the US Open. Go Andre!!!

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.

I think Andy Roddick will win another major title. I realize there are alot of strong players in the game today and winning a major is extremely difficult. I think Andy will proabably reach three more grandslam finals during his prime years, and I think he will win two of them. Andy would probably already have three grandslam title to his credit, but he was born at the same time as Roger Federer and that guy is simply unbelievable. Roddick is a tremondous talent, and I enjoyed watching him perform well for the US in Davis Cup.

I believe that Basso will win the Giro and is the odds on favorite to win the Tour.  With no clear cut favorite, it will come down to who gets the most support from their team.\n\nWith Liberty Seguros dropping sponsorship of their team as of today, there are a few wildcards out there that could change the mix.  Vinokourov is the top name that is now without a contract.\n\nPetacchi is also in the mix, although he is not in top form at this time.\n\nShould be fun to watch as it's wide open!

Tu as oublié la défaite de la finale de Roland Garros contre Nadal, échec en 4 sets après le gain de la première manche 6/1!!!\nMais moi, je pense qu'il est quasiment impossible de ne pas perdre du tout sur une saison... Federer est clairement sur une autre planète, c'est un génie du jeu, et déjà un des plus grands (sinon le plus grand) joueurs de l'Histoire!!! L'an dernier, il n'a perdu que 4 matches sur 85, mais contre 4 joueurs différents... Safin, Gasquet, Nadal et Nalbandian; ce qui prouve bien que, sur un match, il peut être prenable!!!\nMais c'est un monstre absolue qui va battre absolument tous les records du tennis, alors quelque part, je pense qu'il en est capable... de là à ce au'il le fasse vraiment, je pense malgré tout qu'il y a encore de la marge!!!
