Thanks mystika for a nice update and analysis.Its good to know we still have some reasonable level of Tennis followership in Nigeria. At times like this i can't but remember a great tennis analyst, late Elder Ayo Ositelu. However,'show goes on'. I look forward to a great time in Roland garros. Rafa Nadal is back- with a vengeance too. He has timed his return to perfection; Few will bet against the Spaniard picking up title number eight at Roland Garros- in just nine attempts. The natural question arises: Who can dethrone Rafa? And there’s a pretty straightforward answer to that- Novak Djokovic. Roger Federer played some good tennis in Rome, but the manner of his capitulation against Nadal makes him an unlikely pick for the title. I have never really given this dude much credit, he came from a different era of tennis from the Djokers and the Rafas, and he has been the one that has had to adjust the hardest to the present era tennis. He is a great player however in his twilight, most of my buddies never agree with me on this. David Ferrer will huff and puff around the baselines, but his lack of a major offensive weapon will leave him at the mercies of the top guys in the latter stages of the competition. Outside the top four seeds, Berdych has got one or two big wins in him in 2013, like the one against Djokovic in Rome, but to win Roland Garros, Berdych will have to string more than one or two big wins together. That is almost impossible. Then there is my boy Tsonga, love how he moves with such body weight. None of the favorites will fancy an early collision with Stanislas Wawrinka. The young generation will be spearheaded by Dimitrov and Jerzy Janowicz, and their time will come -but not now. Anderson, the South African, has been my most improved tennis player recentlty Logic suggests that Serena should win the French Open, but logic rarely works with Serena at Roland Garros. Or how do you explain a third round loss to Katarina Srebotnik in 2008, or more alarmingly, a first round loss to Virginie Razzano last year. Not sure Serena herself can explain. Should Williams falter again, then defending champion, Maria Sharapova (my fave by the way)will be ready to pounce but she will need to work big time on her footwork. So will Victoria Azarenka, who should be fresher than most having sat out a good part of the season because of a spate of injuries. Vika is not exactly your clay court demon, but she showed enough in Rome to suggest that she could well be a big factor in Paris. Of the outsiders, Na Li has done nothing on clay this year, but she can never be overlooked in Grand Slams these days, Sam Stosur and her kick serves and Nadal-esque forehands will be dangerous; and Errani and Petra Kvitova can always smack a ball.I suspect Agniezka Radwanska will dissappoint in this tournament. I had long given up on Wozniacki; the babe too fall my hand. Laura Robson and Sloane Stephens, worth the watch. So let the good times roll. Team #Djokovic and #Tsonga by the way. For the Ladies #Sharapova #Li Na #Errani 1st round matches to look out for Wozniaki v Robson Berdych v Monfils Simon v Hewitt Paire v Baghdatis [/quote] |

The only part I disagree with is the Vika part...Vika is a threat to anyone, anyday and on any surface. Her return from injury has been pretty phenomenal. Take out Rena, she and sugarpova will win the next 10 slams |
