A bit late to start this, but the French Open has been pretty exciting so far. Which players do you love/hate?
I'm pulling for my favorite player, Gael Monfils, to win it all. I think he will upset Federer. |

I think he pushed a few players in one of the slams between wimbledon last year and the french. I know he had one deep run where he took somebody out.

I didn't see the Davydenko match, but I feel that Soderling used the same strategy against Nadal that Federer used in Madrid. He took a lot of high risk shots that ended up paying off against Nadal, instead of trying to grind it out with him. I don't mean to say that he's been getting lucky, but I'm not yet ready to say that he's the real deal yet.
