Rome has given once again a great indication about who should be the favorite to win the title in Paris.
This year Rafa and Serena won in great fashion to confirm to be the hot favorite for the Roland Garros. John McEnroe has a couple of interesting thoughts about both players.
About Rafa
The American legend says. “It seems like he’s barely lost anything, if at all. Right now he seems to be finally playing the best he’s been playing the whole year, which is sort of frightening for the other players.
Unless something happens that’s unforeseen, it would be pretty hard‑pressed to make an argument for anyone other than Djokovic to beat him.
It would have to be one of those swing‑for‑the‑fences type players like Soderling was that one year, and the conditions would have to be extremely heavy so his ball wouldn’t have the type of jump it normally does.”
About Serena
John is still impressed by Serena, but he is bit less bullish about her chances as clay is definitely not her best surface.
“I mean it’s been done before. I’ve done it myself, but you sort of have to beat yourself. The level she’s at when she’s playing well, I don’t think anybody can beat her. Anybody, no matter great they are, everybody has bad days.
On clay, it’s her worst surface. The odds would increase. The pressure is greater obviously at the French because she’s only won it once. I would say at some stage in the event, it would be likely that she won’t have one of her best days. Depending on her opponent that day, someone might have a shot at her.”
It’s always interesting listening the opionin of Big Mc!!!
