Who do you guys think will win Roland Garros this year? Is Nadal still king of the clay court? Or is Djokovic the man to beat with his 35+ win streak? Will Federer rise to the top again? Or will one of the Spaniards rise to the title like Almagro, Verdasco, or Ferrer?
For the women? Schiavone to have a repeat? With the Williams sisters pulling out opens up the doors for many of the women. Is Stosur going to win after coming so close last year? Or how about Maria Sharapova who is on her way back to top form winning in Rome last weekend. Wozniacki? Clijsters?
What do you all think?
ALSO (UPDATE): Here is the TV schedule for the rest of Roland Garros courtesy of Tennis.com . Also note that the first semifinal match (Rafa vs Murray) was given to the Tennis Channel so this probably will not be live on NBC, therefore unless you have the Tennis Channel you gotta look elsewhere, message me if you want a location I know a good website where I watch just about every tennis match not on Tv. ESPN probaly won't have the rights to show it live.

In my opinion, for the men I see Rafael Nadal taking it again. Unlike the Masters Tournaments, the Grand Slams for the men are best of five sets, and though Nadal has lost to Djokovic twice in the past month on clay in three set matches, I feel that Djokovic will be unable to maintain such high quality level play for a five-set match,
On the women's side, I feel this tournament is up in the air like it was last year. For me to make a prediction would be based on a personal favorite, not who I really think would be capable of winning. Based on what I've seen lately though I'm gonna say Stosur will win, but I'm not too confident on that answer.

i <3 djodjo. he's been unstoppable this year! I know he's not invincible, but he is very likely to win. I could see another rafa/djodjo final, but rafa would have to step up his game, otherwise the djodjo streak will continue.
As for women's my fav of all time Serena Williams has been out for a long while. Therefore my remaining pick is Stosur cuz she'll bulldoze her way through the tournament. i wish to see a stosur/schiavone final, cuz that would be the most awesome match for this tournament!

Well it looks like my Stosur guess was way wrong. Looks like Schiavone may take the French for the girls as she is on to the finals! Na Li is a personal favorite of mine though so she is my preference for sure.
For the guys, so far Rafa is still hanging tough! I know he will be in the finals I just hope Fed can take out Djoker, not really a huge fan..

Not gonna lie I'm excited that Federer beat Djoker, but I'm upset he lost to Nadal. And so proud of Na Li! She is one of my favorites! And now she is ranked number four! :O
