[RalfDweflywex]

sooo... Djokovic/Federer
and Nadal/Murray Ferrer?

[emingeRek]

After that Rome semi-final, Ferrer may be close to not showing up for any other match against Rafa.
The guy can't catch a break.

Not that his chance's against Nole or Roger would be appreciably stronger...

[noingenah]

I think Murray gets the easiest quarter, no?

[zzbust]

Federer should sail into the quarters (barring a possible workout in R-2 with Nalby).

Djokovic has the worst draw of the 3.

True, but Nadal could face Ivo and Raonic back-to-back. Not fun.

Ivo tends to underperform at slams so I expect him to lose against Mayer, eventhough he's not in great form.

Raonic has not impressed on red clay and before playing Rafa he needs to get past Monaco, whom I think will be Rafa's opponent.

Raonic has had almost Nishikori-like injury luck, to boot. Seems to be a trend among the likable next-gen players. Well, the ones I like, anyway.

[Freeptube]

As long as Rafa wins this thing, all will remain well in the universe.

I can't see any huge surprises happening here.

Me neither...I don't see anyone but Nadal, Djokovic or Federer with a shot at making the final.


The draw looks pretty stinky for American men, with the exception of DJI.

[tsamprasxx]

I've been meaning to ask...what is DJI short for?
Dreamy John Isner?
Disgusting John Isner? Dreary John Isner? Daft John Isner? Dumb John Isner? Delightful John Isner? Delicate John Isner? Determined John Isner?

And yeah, I don't see anyone other than Djokovic, Fed, or Nadal reaching the final either.
Barring anything cray cray happening, Nadal should win this.
VAMOS RAFA!

Thanks for the link, Ti-Amie. For some reason I always have trouble finding the printable one. You've saved me a lot of time.

[zzquo0iR]

I think Murray gets the easiest quarter, no?

i cant see murray making the 1/4s myself, possibly losing to gasquet in round 4, plus macenroe was saying on tv in the uk yesterday that he shouldnt play at all with his back the way it is

[Konservir]

Thanks Winston! Patrick asked for one since for some reason earlier in the day the printable draw wasn't available on the site. If you clicked the link you went right back to the page you were on. I thought fans other than Patrick and I might want one so here it is. I'll do this for Slams going forward.

Why Paes is not playing with Stepanek?

[teentodiefows]

Why Paes is not playing with Stepanek?

...I didn't realize Marach and Peya had broken up, mainly b/c of Marach's injury issues:
http://www.olivermarach.com/en/news/...part-ways.html

Maybe Paes saw a fresh opportunity? (Maybe losing to Kubot/Tipsarevic in straights was too much?)

Stepanek apparently has a prior commitment, some exhibition match in Czech Republic during the second week of Roland Garros.
