Who do you got?

For the Men, I just have a feeling that Nadal is going to lose this year. If not to Federer than to Djokovic. However, his draw is pretty easy. Man if Federer wins the FO, I will probably lose it.

For the women, um, who cares, I just like to watch the hot chicks, but too bad they all lose in the first or second round, in matches that aren't shown on TV. But, I think Safina will probably win.

And once again we learn just how absolutely pathetic Americans are on clay.

Yes, but it's amusing every year to listen to some of the analysts talk up their chances of actually going deep into the tournament.

Men's side, I definitely do not want Federer to win. Am rooting for Nadal or Djoko

women's side....Safina is a good pick. Ana Ivanovic is my personal pick, even tho her year has been less than stellar

If Nadal loses it will be a shock. He's got incredible footwork and control with the slide and the spin he puts on the ball is perfect for clay.

Rooting for Federer or Djokovic. Nadal at the French is getting boring, and Federer needs to get his mojo back so that we have a rivalry again.

He also just lost to Federer on clay in Spain recently and is still hurt.

I don't think there will be any surprises this year. No one else is ready to step up, one of the big three will win.

What still hurts? Nadal is the most mentally tough athlete in sports today.

Acasuso played really well today outside of the 4th set. Federer got pretty lucky there...

Watching Andy Roddic now, thanks to ESPN360.com, one of the greatest marvels in internet technological development, even if it is slow as balls right now. He looks great playing on the baseline.

(something of an aside, E360 has the option of watching the SPelling Bee live. That warrants a huge, WTF.)

Come on! That's great entertainment. Nothing like watching twitchy little freaks pass out non-exercise induced from over exertion.

They've been showing a lot of Jo Willie Tsonga on TV here, but he doesn't look like a threat on this surface. Rooting for Federer, he needs the confidence. For women, I want a Sharapova comeback.

Nadal gets boring to watch after a while. His knees will break down in 2 or 3 years, give or take. Never liked Joke-avic's attitude. Rooting for Federer to prevail.

Yeah, not a fan of Djokovic's over the top chest thumping. I think he has a great game, but his on-court behavior is annoying for me.
