Winning Roland Garros (French) Open consecutively from the year 2005, do you still think Rafael Nadal will still rule the clay and win the 2008 Roland Garros or will Roger Federer finally conquer the only tournament he hasn't won? Do you think that the world will be surprised again with players such as Tsonga and Djokovich defeating Nadal and Federer (just like what happened in the Australian Open)?

well as far Rafa is concerned he is the only playing pro who has his saga on the clay court and as far as fedex is concorned, he wins only on aces ,where as rafa is a complete tennis player

The way it's going I don't know. Seems more like the French Upset than the French Open..lol. Nadal is THE clay master so he should be able to to take it again. Federer has issues on clay plus he looks tired since the mono. Djokovic is hungry, though. I don't think he's got it, but it wouldn't surprise me to see him in the final against Nadal. Maybe he will do his impersonation of him again...lol.

There have been a number of surprises so far. I do think Nadal will win because he really seems to be the man who can conquer clay courts. Roger still has a go at it though. I just hope it is entertaining and I think it will be regardless who plays the final.

yeah i agree there has been a lot of surprises in tennis, but based from what i saw from Nadal's previous match he is really playing amazing tennis in clay. but i do have my hopes up for djokovic and federer for the finals! i am expecting great match on the coming days, nadal is a sure tough player to break in clay!
