      French Open Picks

      French Open, tennis


      My picks for the 2008 French Open are:

      – Men’s Draw: Rafael Nadal. I believe he will once again beat Federer in the final, even though Federer will have a very tough time against clay court specialist Fernando Gonzalez next round.

      – Women’s Draw: Ana Ivanovic. This is a more difficult pick because she will have to get through Jelena Jankovic in the semis. Then I think she will face either Elena Dementieva or Svetlana Kuznetsova in the final. But I think she can do it.

        I think Federer can do it, even as the underdog vs. Nadal. Ivanovic is the favorite for the women no doubt, but something tells me to watch out for the veteran Patty Schneider. Maybe because she’s hot!
