Women's slams are a real lottery.

An example: Sharapova won Roland Garros by only playing ONE top 20 player. Similar thing happened last year at Wimbledon where Sharapova made the final by again only playing ONE top 20 player (whom she lost to).

Serena might play decent this time, it being grass.

Venus, what in the world...??! Berdych and Mr. Epic Five Sets Isner out (in, you guessed it, five sets) as well

Roger put on a clinic in the first round. He's on course to meet Novak in the semis, I think...

Looking forward to the semi-final between Djokovic and Federer. Was good fun watching Djokovic destroy the former great at Roland Garros :D

I'm going to go and root for Murray to step up and win in front of the home UK crowd. Will he do it? Hmm...

He still has Tsonga to go through, who has been playing very well lately.
