French Open Tennis Players
The French Open has a tendency to turn the pecking order in international tennis on its head. Epic 5 set matches tend to favour players with endurance an finesse in the men’s draw, while the women’s draw at the French Open is the most competitive at any grand slam tennis tournament.
Men’s French Open Draw 2010
All eyes will be on Rafael Nadal in the 2010 French Open men’s draw. After a disappointing season in 2009, Nadal appears to have overcome the effects of his knee surgery and returned to his best clay-court form with wins at the Rome Masters and Monte Carlo Masters.
Opposing him in Paris will be arch-rival, Roger Federer, who benefited from Nadal’s early exit from the 2009 French Open to take his maiden title in the Parisian grand slam. Neutral fans will be hoping that these two clash in yet another memorable grand slam final at Roland Garros in 2010.
A number of players will be looking to crash the Nadal vs. Federer final party in 2010. Amongst these is Juan Martin del Potro, who has both the clay-court skills and grand slam pedigree to upset either Nadal or Federer at the tournament. British fans will be firmly behind Andy Murray in the 2010 French Open, as the Scot looks to improve his record in Paris.
Women’s French Open Draw 2010
Justine Henin will be the player to watch out for in the women’s draw. The Belgian, and four times winner, is competing in her first French Open tournament since 2007 and has found good form ahead of the tournament. Bookies are pricing Henin close to evens as the 2010 winner.
The two biggest threats to Henin’s ambitions of winning her first grand slam since launching her comeback are compatriot Kim Clijsters and America’s Serena Williams. Last year’s winner, Svetlana Kuznetsova, is trading as high as 11/1 in the French Open betting markets and could be the one to upset the favourites in 2010.
