Predictions?
Nadal for men
Sharapova for women
Anyone seen Li Na since she won it last year?
Djokovic.
Azarenka.
Li Na had been getting annhilated the last I heard. Though that was a while ago now.
Nadal.
Serena, now that she seems to be back to full fitness. Azarenka was carrying an injury when Serena recently destroyed her, but if both are 100%, you'd still probably back Beast Mode™ Serena.
Li Na has been inconsistent over the last year, but has been doing decently in the clay-court season and just reached the semis in Rome. Unlikely to be a big threat here though.
Still can't believe this is on ITV. :(
ITV4 :bow:.
Eurosport :bow:.
By next year, the BBC will only be showing Eastenders and repeats of repeats of highlights of their pantheon of cookery shows. What a sorry organisation.
Serena for the Women's
Novak for the Men's
There will be some coverage on ITV1 on Sunday too. Inverdale will be presenting for ITV1. Courier, Mauresmo and Santoro doing commentary/analysis.
ITV4 seem to have a lot more coverage than I expected, up to 20:00 from Monday. Not sure if that A-Team (well, Santoro aside) will be on ITV4 as well.
ITV :bow:.
Always rated them.
Though this was another thread about French workers striking - but it's boring old tennis.
You're never going to find a sport you enjoy y'know.
N_Q watches F1 and football, perhaps the biggest and most vulgar celebrations of wealth in 'sport'.
Yet finds one of the last remaining bastions of pure sport and competitiveness boring.
N_Q :haha:.
Awful opinions.
We need Charlie's Cousin the Gooner to edit your taste.

Nishikori and Fish out of the tournament.
Murray to play Ito in the first round.
JSAO :bow:.
Djokovic plays Star Ace.
Nadal plays Bolelli.
Federer plays Kamke.

Watson qualified for the main draw. Robson on the verge of qualifying.
It's not worth Robson's time.
Robson loses the second set against Pliskova.
Useless Aussie. :doh:.
Robson loses in three sets.
Aussies :haha:.
Never heard of this Azarenka Pub Teamer
Any good?
French Open begins at 10:00. :scarf:
Time for the glory-hunters to invade our little community. :ninja:
Order of play: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/9678131.stm
Mahut will probably beat Roddick.
Come on Baltacha :bow:.
Roddick :rose: just ever so slightly less and self imploding bottle job than Murray
American tennis :rose:
Coverage started on ITV4 at half 9
John Inverdale hosting
Jim Courier and Fabrice Santoro the pundits
Baltacha v Stosur has started
Stosur 1-0
Baltacha to serve
Stosur breaks
2-0
Game, set and match tbh
Yup, I hate those guys.
They'll never be true tennis fans like us.
This day has been marked on the calender for some time. I must tell you I fancy Sampras for the men's singles FA cup and Buppati and Paes for the doubles FA cup.
But time will tell. Maybe Agassi's returns will be too much for the boring curley haired Greek-American, born on August 12th 1971. Maybe they won't. Who knows. I just hope Oxlade goes out there and plays his game and shows no fear. He should just enjoy himself. He shouldn't go out there and not play his game - there's no point in that.
Come on Tennis.
And come on the French Cup.
Stosur serves for the set at 5-3
Baltacha has played pretty well tbh but Stosur just has that bit more quality.
If she was playing a Pub Teamer such as Azarenka or the man beast Kvitova, Baltcha would have won by now
Baltacha broke back
4-5 on serve
Stosur breaks and wins the first set 6-4
Stosur breaks in the 2nd set
1-0
As expected, Baltacha has completely fallen apart in the 2nd set
5-0 Stosur
Baltachas serving to stay in the match
Stosur win 6-4 6-0
Del Potro up next
Laura Robson is in the French Open as a lucky loser
