So he should have withdrawn along with the giraffes?
He’s jeopardising his prospects for the Big One by playing at Roland Garros. I would strongly suspect that Roger is retiring at the end of this season and that’s why he’s playing. The Paris crowds like tennis crowds everywhere just adore him and that’s why he’s taking on a fuller calendar this year.
the French crowds will remember roger ped as a bottler who didn’t turn up and not good enough when he did turn up.
The French may root from the Swiss man but they are always left dejected when he is destroyed by Nadal.
Nadal has had a reasonably favourable draw on paper.
If he’s in good form and injury free then he should be making the semi final without much fuss, Nishikori could be a tricky QF obstacle though.
I’d fancy Tsitsipas to come through to the SF on the other side, I think Federer will make the quarter finals but the Greek will probably have too much for him if he is on his game.
I think on paper, Djokovic has a more difficult route. He will have to face young pretenders the likes of young pretenders Shapovalov and Zverev if things go to form and will likely have to face Thiem in a SF.
Thiem at 13/2 is the value bet for me to win it outright.
Can’t wait for this to start.

Same post again as this time last year really.
The luck of the draw.
Bet you wont be saying the same next month when wimbledon is on. You will be bitching and moaning as usual.
I don’t bitch and moan. Wimbledon fix their seedings which is nothing to do with luck or chance.

The seedings is Wimbledon are not a meritocracy. They are the only slam that deviate from the world rankings. They don’t like outsiders at Wimbledon, only incestuous giraffes.

I’m not spouting shite.
You didn’t know that Wimbledon is the only slam who don’t use the rankings for their seedings?
Looks stunning.

I was hoping to buy a ticket for this for May 30th
However tickets start from €615
I guess I’ll just have to wait for Wimbledon
It is the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world.
Tickets on other days start from €10
Stands are barely half full most of the time you’d flick it on the telly. Tennis in the muck has a very limited appeal.
