Default Roland Garros WTA. Who you got?

More options! 6 is way too few for this year.

If you just give me 6 choices, I'll take the field.

I voted for Pova. Because the option is there and I don't trust the rest to do well enough.

Oh, no, trust me. I am 100% positive it will be one of those. Really. I mean it. Just look at my sterling record in all fantasy contests, and you will see.

Being the WTA, yes, none of the above is missing. Sorry, I forgot. Maybe Kirkus can modify the poll.

Thanks for the shout out!

Yeah, ditto. This slam has "surprising break though" written all over it. Kvitova and Goerges are the two most likely suspects. Jankovic and Kuznetsova have a shot in this weird field if someone can get to them with smelling salts in time.

We could even see something wacky with someone like Petkovic, Kanepi, Petrova, Rezai, or Kleybanova if the stars align.

Stosur, however, would choke in the final of an applesauce eating contest.

I forget to give my pick! Out of the choices, I surprised myself by picking Sharapova. She looked good in Rome.

I. Am. So. Excited.

When Alexandra Dulgheru defeats Sharapova in the final, remember that you heard it here first. LOL.

Seriously, I wouldn't be placing any money on this tournament.

OK, I'm laughing hysterically too.

(A little) more seriously, Goerges or Kvitova here and Rafa for the men's.

Where's Stosur? Where's Kvitova? Where are Petkovic and Goerges? Too many realistic/at-least-as-reasonable-as-Schiavone-last-year options missing.

This slam is going to have some pretty big upsets based on the simple fact that there are more than 8 legitimate contenders. At least one of them has to lose in the fourth round.

I would say the entire top 10 has okay odds. Add in Goerges and Kuznetsova as dark horses. Then there are those with a shot at beating a contender and making a QF but not winning. I'm thinking of A Rad, Kanepi, Kleybanova, Petrova, Pennetta, and AMG.

It amounts to what we in the scientific community refer to as a cluster****.

This is hilarious.

Umm...I guess I'm picking Kim, because, why not.

I chose Maria just because I want her to get her Career Slam.


Let's be real. We will all debate this over and over, but in the end Melanie Oudin will win.

...and whilst she's holding the trophy, she'll be wrapped in an American Flag, eating "Freedom Fries" out of the trophy cup.

I went with the hype (?) and picked Sharapova.

And to make the field even more wide open:
The Rapture will happen on Sunday, and the only WTA that will be transported to kingdom come is Saint Kimmie, so there you go.
Drop her out of the poll.

And yes, to those that mentioned that Georges, Kvitova et all have changes, you are correct. But I didn't want to make a 10 choices list.
(And I could not find anything funny to say about Goerges)
