<div>You have the top 4 ranked players in the world all making it through, which seems to rarely happen... You have 2 of the best players ever, including arguably THE best clay court player of all time in Nadal... Djoker has won something like 42 straight matches, and Murray is the best player yet to win a major. I'm not a huge French Open fan compared to the other slams, but this group has earned my interest this year.</div><div>
</div><div>The Semi's:</div>Nadal vs. Murray<div>and
<div>Federer vs. Djokovic</div><div>
</div><div>I'm thinking Nadal and Djokovic meet in the finals, with Nadal taking the title yet again. I'd like to see Djokovic win it because the guy is fun to watch, but to me you have to take Nadal over anyone else until proven otherwise. What do y'all think?</div> </div>

you need to read the link below. Djok hasn't lost since last December and has beat Nadal 4 times this year, including in Madrid on clay a couple weeks ago. if you pick anyone but Djok, you're picking the underdog.

here's my prediction: murray loses easy to nadal(this is not murray's surface). Djok over Fed in 4. then, Djok in 5 over Nadal in what should be a classic french final.

Nadal wins a 4 setter final for yet another French Open title.<div>
</div><div>Federer wins in 5 vs Djoker in the semis & Rafa wins in 4 vs Murray...I won't be surprised if Nadal dismantles Murray in straight sets given that Murray's been carrying an ankle niggle.</div>

He's beaten Nadal 4 straight times this year, including 2 in straight sets on clay. He's by far the best player in the world right now, and Nadal has even said so himself. Even though Nadal is still ranked #1 (Djokovic will take that spot over if he beats Federer, even if he loses to Nadal in the final), Nadal said about a month ago that "The #1 ranking is gone."

One thing about tennis if you are going to make it to a Grand Slam final, you better be one of the top players in the world, unlike golf where all these no names win majors.....

Enjoyed the mixer Saturday morning patdog......

<div>He feels like he owns this tournament and will play his *** off. Federer has been beaten on grass in years past leading up to Wimbledon, too, but then he hits another gear when he gets there. That's how I think Rafa is when he gets to Paris.</div><div>
</div><div>Don't forget Djokovic has been known to choke under pressure before, and it seems like everyone is expecting him to win this year... plus you add in the pressure of the streak and I think it will be too much for him. But like I said, I hope he wins because I can't help but like the guy.</div>
