Tomorrow = Vive La France!

I pick Rafael to win. I'm a rebel, I know.

Rafael def. Roger. not in straights. I know we're all still shellshocked from Hamburg, but it's a fluke. I still don't think Federer can get the game together at a Slam where Rafael has never lost a match.
I think Canas and Djokovic in the semis. I'm going to start picking Djokovic at everything, because he's certainly on his way to being a certainty. I like to jump on the boat early.

Henin def. Sharapova in the final
Ivanovic in the semis, Jankovic in the semis.

Other predictions:
  • breakout Serbian Slam
  • Carlos Moya in the quarters, losing to Nadal (Moya's draw looked like a kindergartner picked it). Although, knowing Carlos Moya, he could just as easily miss every first serve, net every backhand and go out in the first round.
  • no Americans past the fourth, and I think I'm being generous
  • I think Justine-S.Williams quarterfinal will be nice
  • Canas to cement his suspension. Canas is awesome, isn't he? It's like suspending a kid and then having him return to give the valedictory address.
i love tennis, but this is not a very exciting time if you like upsets and shocks and scandal.
