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!

Martina Navrátilová (b. October 18, 1956, in Řevnice, near Prague, Czechoslovakia) is a former World No. 1 woman tennis player. Originally from Czechoslovakia, she defected to the United States in 1975 and became a U.S. citizen in 1981. During her career she won 18 Grand Slam singles titles and 40 Grand Slam doubles titles (31 women's doubles and 9 mixed doubles). She won the women's singles title at Wimbledon a record 9 times. She is considered one of the greatest players of all time.\n\nShe was born Martina Šubertová in 1956. Her parents divorced when she was three, and in 1962 her mother Jana married Miroslav Navrátil, who became her first tennis coach. Martina then took the name of her stepfather

i couldn't really say yes basing solely on federer's winning titles and the fact that he has acquired more than sampras at the same age.\n\n\nthe deal is, in the pete sampras era, another tennis great was co-dominating the circuit --- andre agassi. federer had no real competition (the competition that agassi gives to sampras is incomparable to that of nadal-roddick.) which is the reason why he has won more tennis matches

No, but he is among the greatest players of alltime. The fact of\nthe matter is, if he was able to win the US Open a few times,\nhe might not have left the game so early. He could have been\nthe greatest player ever, since the rate he was winning Slams during his peak years was even better than Sampras. His failure to win the US Open, despite four trips to the final, is what ultimately forced him to retire prematurely. If he had won even once in those four trips, I'm guessing he would have hung around the sport longer. Another factor is he didn't like to play so frequently, and the new rules that were coming into play would\nhave forced him to do that to retain his world ranking. Those two\nfactors probably had more to do with anything else for the reasons he didn't retire in his 30s, instead of his mid 20s, when\nmost players are about to hit their prime, or are in their prime.\n   No one has able to achieve the French Open-Wimbledon\ndouble in the same year since Borg did it (1976, 1978,1979,1980). Jim Courier (won 1993 French Open, lost in 1993 Wimbledon final), Rafael Nadal (won 2006 French Open and lost in 2006 Wimbledon final) and Roger Federer (lost 2006 French Open final, and won 2006 Wimbledon final) have come the closest in this regard. Ivan Lendl and Stefan Edberg also came close. Ivan Lendl won the 1987 French Open but lost in the 1987 Wimbledon final to Pat Cash. Stefan Edberg lost in the 1989 French Open final to Michael Chang and the 1989 Wimbledon final to Boris Becker. Bjorn Borg the French Open six times, but it wasn't in 6 consecutive years (1974, 1976, 1978-1981). Manuel Orantes won the French Open in 1975, while\nGuillermo Vilas won the 1977 French Open men's singles title.\nI think Borg didn't play the French Open in 1975 or 1977, but I'm\nnot sure. He did win Wimbledon five consecutive years (1976-1980), and made the final in 1981. Roger Federer has a chance\nto equal Borg's modern era record in 2007 and has to reach the final in 2008 to equal Borg's mark of 41 consecutive wins at \nWimbledon in the modern era. I forgot about how close John\nMcEnroe came in 1984 to winning the French Open against\nIvan Lendl. He went on to win Wimbledon and the US Open\nthat same season. I think his 1984 season is still one of the greatest seasons in tennis history for a male or female player.
