Great news to all Tennis Junkies; The second Grand Slam of the year has finally begun in the City of Love, Paris.
If you are crazy about the game the way I am, then you probably have asked yourself the usual question; Who scoops the Grand prize this time around?
For Anna Ivanovic, who is the women's defending champion, the pressure is energy-supping. And frankly, the Serbian Chick hasn't been playing a heart-gripping tennis for sometime now. I seriously doubt she will even reach fourth round.
Its really hard to foretell who will come out tops among the girls.
Maria Sharapova is back, thank God, but she sucks on clay. And after being away for so long, she too doesn't stand a chance.
The French Open is the least of my favourite Grand Slams. Somehow the clay courts make players look like clumsy pregnant cattle on ice. And that's not fun to watch. Funny, yes, but you ask yourself; "are these amateurs or top players?" Even the mighty Williams sisters haven't been that successful in Paris. Ofcourse Serena, the youngest of the two has won the Slam once, in 2002, but with a great struggle. Will she be scoop it again this time, and make her eleventh Grand Slam title? Or is it Venus' chance to show the world she's not only dangerous on grass?
I guess we will soon find out.
While I can not predict the Winner for the female's draw, I am almost certain Raphael Nadal, who's been on the top spot in Men's tennis for sometime now, will remain undefeatable. I almost am sure he will win The French title consecutively for the 6th time. The Spaniard is just too good on clay.
Its up to Feds Express (Roger Federer) to decide otherwise, to finally put a stop to Rafa's reign. Or is it young Andy Murray's turn this time? The pampous Brit has been untouchable so far.
Lets see if he now has enough guts for a Grand Slam title.
A good two weeks of bliss to all my fellow tennis Junkies.
