Roger Federer will face Rafael Nadal in the French Open final for the third straight year. I say the third time's the charm. Federer breaks through and wins the only Grand Slam tournament he has not yet won.

I hope not. I despise Federer, for reasons I dont even know, just an innate prejudice against him.

The Ivanovic-Safin gals final might be entertaining if Safin doesnt have a Marat-like fit and self destruct

If semi-finals matches were any indication, Federer is going to get destroyed.

The semi's tell the story. I would like to see him do it (just once), but he could lose it just on the number of mishits and poor shot choices he makes. He also seems to go off the boil in every match - something Nadal never does - Djokovic just didn't have a chance. Nadal in 3 sets.

Nadal is looking invincible on the dirt. As dominating as Borg, Vilas, Muster or anyone that I can remember on the stuff.

Federer will get beat handily, but then win Wimbledon in a few weeks.

As much as I like Federer, I don't see it happening. He hasn't been playing at his usual level all season, and Nadal has been crushing his opponents on clay.

I don't think Roger can do it... Nadal will win the French yet again.

of course he can do it, though i would not bet on it. the older they get in their rivalry, the more dominant rafa will be on clay.

It's looking grim for Federer. He was just broken at love. Ouch.
