This is my favorite tournament of the year. On the clay courts you end up with some amazing matches!

I absolutely CAN'T WAIT to see Serena vs. Justine Henin! Given the way the crowd treated Serena last time she was there, I will be supporting her completely. Henin is the favorite in the tournament, so it won't be easy at all.

On the men's side, Nadal is just untouchable. It would be a disappointment if anybody except for he and Federer made the final. Nadal is 21 years old (Today I believe) and is the best clay court player in history. Roger beat him on clay in their most recent matchup, but I just don't see it happening this time. It should be a hell of a fight though!

Is anyone else watching? Any predictions? Who is your favorite?

I have to say, I think Nadal is looking good! He's rather cute too, a little young for me, but he can play on the clay!

You like those capri pants he wears? I think he's a goof.

He can flat out dominate though. He killed my man Leyton today. :(

Men's tennis is usually not as fun to watch as the women. The French Open is the exception to me though. Much more volleying going on.

Hey, interesting trivia tidbit here - Did you know that the thing that they use to hit the ball is called a "Racket"? Wild, huh? Thanks to KFH for that info.

I hope Federer will finally win the elusive 4th tournament to complete the Grand Slam.

Federer - Nadal is set up. Rafa has still never lost in this tourney. Fed has still never won this tourney. Any chance we'll see two firsts on Sunday?

I'd say there are two chances, slim and none. Oh, and slim just left town...
