Roland Garros 2017

Nadal seems to have the mens draw at his mercy. With the Fed express not taking part, (albeit it on his poorest surface), Djoko and Murray somewhat off form, the door is open for a once again firing Nadal to claim yet another French open....

The womans draw seems an absolute nightmare.. my gut feeling is that Agni Radwanska is a big contender, but the odds on a first time winner is massive imo. Possibly one of those times where you take a few 100/1 + shots and hope for the best ;)

In the Australian Open I went for the youngster, Alexander Zverev, as an outside chance to win. He beat Djokovic in the Rome Masters finals the other week. Zverev definitely has a winning chance in the French Open.

Nadal's knees won't hold up playing 7 matches over 2 weeks...will end up playing the odd 4 and 5 set match...

One of the youngsters to break through and win their first title...Thiem, Zverev, Raonic, Goffin...

Womens' draw - best to take against the top 8 seeds in the early rounds as there will surely be lots of upsets...

Enjoy...

Venus Williams isn’t a typical dark horse, but she’s certainly not a favorite to win. With the field pretty wide open and no little sister, I think Venus can make a serious run at her first French Open title. 
A veteran will win the French open the other is Svetlana Kuznetsova

Nadal can't lose. Current 7/10 is a gift

Hasn't played anyone of substance yet so too early to take price on him...still has Thiem and Djokovic in his half of the draw and Wawarinka looking strong for final in other half....

I agree that the ONLY people that he has to be beat are Thiem/ Djokovic and then Wawrinka

I disagree that he won't win the tournament. Already put down £7000 that says he will
Win Roland Garros ;)

Wow how impressive was young Dominic Thiem, made Djokovic look very average.

Going to be a great semi final with Nadal.
