The French campaign has started!
Rafa wants to confirm his status as the (super) King of Clay to win the French Open for the 7th time and overcome Borg (that also won 6 titles).
After his triumph in Rome in the final against Djokovic the Spaniard is definately the favourite for winning the title. (see article)
“He is always the favourite, even if I win against him seven times,” Djokovic said. “He is the best player in the world on this surface.” … and we agree.
Here you can see Rafa’s first training in Paris.
Roger is not on vacation in Paris.
The Swiss Maestro will try to conquer the trophy once again after 2009.
As seed no.2 he will be expected to play either Nadal or Djokovic in the semis (a tricky stuff) to hope for another showdown in the final (that would be his fifth)
Last year the Swiss Maestro had to bow once again to Nadal in 4 sets 7-5, 7-6 (3), 5-7, 6-1 after having interrupted Novak’s ambitions in the semis.
“I am excited to be in Paris for Roland Garros. I just finished my hit and I am walking past the wall with all the players signatures who have played on center court,” Roger posted on Facebook.
