Today is the opening day for the 2008 Roland Garros.

Mens Tournament

Again main favorite is R. Nadal.He won the last two French Opens and also in the Final in Hamburg showed us yet again what he is capable of.
Here are the top five favorites to win the tournament.
I am very tempted to take Nadal to win, but the odds just don't represent any value.If the odds were over 2.00 (evens or greater) than i could place the bet , but the odds-on price in just not pleasing enough for me.I'd rather see what happens.


Rafael Nadal 1.82
Roger Federer 5.50
Novak Djokovic 8.00
Nikolay Davydenko 45.00
David Ferrer 55.00

Here are some matches that look interesting to me.

Nalbandian D. (Arg) -Berlocq C. (Arg) 1.13 8.72
Gremelmayr D. (Ger) - Djokovic N. (Srb) 28.5 1.03
Almagro N. (Esp) - Pashanski B. (Srb) 1.08 10.74
Hrbaty D. (Svk) - Acasuso J. (Arg) 5.36 1.22
Isner J. (Usa) - Chela J.I. (Arg) 4.60 1.25

*The bolded player is the one who i think will be the winner.

Womens Tournament

Last year's winner J Henin decided to quit tennis, so that makes S. Williams along with M. Sharapova and A. Ivanovic top favorites to win this year.
But i judging by what Ivanovic has been playing lately i would only rate Serena and Sharapova as favorites.Of course women tennis can be bring quite some surprises and you can never know what to expect.My opinion is that the top seeds will manage to reach the top stages but from there anything can happen.

Serena Williams 5.00
Maria Sharapova 7.00
Ana Ivanovic 11.00
Jelena Jankovic 13.00
Venus Williams 18.29

Today there are some interesting games in mens tournament at Roland Garros . I like especially Bolelli against Llodra . Bolelli made impressive progress and he is very good at this tournament . In my opinion he has better chances on clay court in front of Llodra who is not moving that fast on clay .

Agree with you, and the odds on Bolelli aren't that bad, around 1.48 and i also like Ferrer in front Hewitt.
Ferrer is a much better player on clay and Hewitt in more of a fast court player.Only the odds are about 1.25.

i forgot to mention this, let's not forget that Llodra will have the full support of their fans, only in the end Bolelli should win it, maybe over is a good option as well.

Bolelli isn't playing great . He is 0-2 sets down and 5-4 in 3rd set .

[cro84]

About Ferrer's game ... I would like to skip that one . Hewitt surprised me far too many times .

Impressive match between Ferrer and Hewitt, i liked Ferrer too, only the odds represented no value, so i took him on a live bet when he was 2-1 down at a 2.5 odd.He made a great comeback.

Hewitt is tough player to beat . Ferrer had to play at his best . Congratulations for your bet .
As I said , I have bad betting experiences when Hewitt was playing so I stayed away . Unfortunately I lost on Venus Williams and Bolelli ( yesterday ).

Ferrer's matches on clay are a pleasure to watch...

I lost some money on Bolelli too, but Soderling was the a big surprise yesterday in my opinion (lost a lot of money on him )...6-1 in the first set, managed to get a break in the second, lost at tie break after he had a set ball, after which he just went on to lose the match...if i didn't know better i'd say that match was fixed...
Davydenko's match was another strange match...was lucky to avoid it...

[cro84]

Davydenko is long time ago blacklisted for me . I haven't placed a single bet on Davydenko's games for at least 1 year .
Soderling is not reliable on clay .
Btw , there are many surprises at women tournament . Cetkovska looked so good when playing yesterday and now she was losing 0-6 0-6 against Ivanovic . .
