SWISS or SPAIN!



Tournoi de Roland-Garros- McEnroe missed it in '84 , Sampras missed it in '96, Connors missed it in'79, '84, Federer missed out in '06. Still these remain as the top players of the era! Chris Evert & Bjorn Borg, if people might not put them on this list, it would be a mistake-the so called KINGS of clay. Rafael Nadal would undoubtedly be one among them. the 81 streak which he had with him for these many days, ofcourse until recently when he was defeated at a clay court match in Hamburg, he said-"Perhaps, Federer is the only man who could have stopped me from winning my 82nd one." Weeks before the French Grand Slam, these words would have definitely raised Roger's confidence. Its always good to watch the top 2 seeds battle for the Grand slam, never was so interesting in the past, Agassi and Sampras sometimes was! This 2007 French Open would be no different. For people who expect miracles to happen, I guess they wouldn't be satisfied. More so than anything, Nadal beating his mentor Moya in quarters would lead him to Semis. And more so than anything, Roger and Nadal will storm into finals. And who from there would win... is nothing known. SWISS or SPAIN will have a reason to celebrate on June 10th. Lets see! I definitely am a watcher... love to be in SWISS or SPAIN on June 10th. And let the battle begun!
