Do you all think this event should have its own thread?
Anyways, who are your picks to take it all?
Federer, Nadal, or someone else?
How about for the women? Will Hingis improve on her Australian Open result? Will Mauresmo make it two majors in a row?
in the first round, Federer needed 2.5 hours to beat someone making his tour-level debut |

Federer all the way...
Usually in the first matches some of the players are still adjusting, let's not forget he was playing a total unknown who started rather well in the first set but that was just it. Also, Federer had asked the organizers to play on Monday, not Sunday.
Even though Nadal is still the biggest favourite for this tournament, I believe Roger has reached the point where he can take him down now if he plays his best. |

Those bitches always have some injuries and then win tournaments! Besides Shara plays bad on the clay courts, as Davenport.
I don't think Hingis pass 1/8 where she'll meet Dementieva, she always lose to her.
No Lindsay, maybe injury?
I think Petrova has biggest chance to reach title. She plays this year more accurate (less unforced errors) & she very powerfull, but sometimes she can lose to real , like 2 years ago to Weingartner 0:2.
Mens. Final Federer (1) Vs Nadal (2) and only, maybe Nalbandian has a little chance to get final. All others have no chance! I will root for Roger to have 4 grand slams titles in a row.:p
Roddick has real chance to lose in first round. He retired from Dusseldorf last week, plays bad on clay and plays bad this year!
My bets on first round:
Roddick-Martin win 2 k 1.95
Peer-Savchuk handicap 2 +6 k1.85
Hantuchova-Domingez Lino 2:1 k3.9 Total>19.5 k1.8 or win2 k3
Schruff-Ondraskova 2:0 k2.5
Tomorrow i'll think on more bets;) |

French press: new Roland Garros edition, same threw to Spanish Armada.
Some chovinist diary named Le Journal suspects about Nadal's musculature, tells that french players speak about EPO and the Armada: envy, the fact that since Noah any french has won RG and spanish players have won some titles, makes those unfounded rumours fly: disguting gossip. |

3 times Sharapova was a point away from being knocked out in the first round
She beat Mashona Washington, 6-2, 5-7, 7-5
if Nadal wins his 1st round match, he'll set a new record for consecutive matches won on clay, with 54 |
