WIth a record of 17-6, and four of those coming off of clay. Johns victory over Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and going five sets with Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros last year, one has to think that John is the leading Dark Horse going into the French open.</p>

<p></p> Predicting the future - Can Novak Djokovic take Rafael Nadals Crown...tag:tennisopolis.com,2012-04-07:1869403:Topic:8737662012-04-07T10:18:27.801ZMaybe brownhttp://tennisopolis.com/profile/KyleMcCain
<p>Although we were not expecting 2008 wimbledons grand slam. I think this maybe one of the greatest matches in the making. It didn't happen in 2011, but in 2012 Novak has his eye set on Roland Garros, can anyone stop him?</p>

<p>Novak was 18-1 on clay last year but did not reach the final at Roland Garros, and although he is the most dominant player in our sport today. The real question we ask is not if Novak will complete the grand slam and win his sixth Major title, but will Nadal…</p>

<p></p>
<p>I feel Nadal the king of the terre battue has more to lose then gain, and that is why I think he will lose this year in the french open.</p> French Open Match Replaystag:tennisopolis.com,2011-05-29:1869403:Topic:6134862011-05-29T13:52:56.728ZChin Behttp://tennisopolis.com/profile/ChinBe

World number one and arguably the best clay court player of all times , Rafael Nadal has been knocked out of this year's French Open by Swede Robin Soderling in the biggest upset of the year so far. The 6-2, 6-7(2), 6-4, 7-6(2) defeat is Nadal's first on the red clay of Roland Garros.<br />
<br />
"If you can beat Nadal on clay in Paris then you can beat anybody," six-time winner Borg told the press.<br />
<br />
"I think that Soderling can now win the French Open."…

It was very hard to believe this....! Is Roland Garros jinxed for Venus Williams?tag:tennisopolis.com,2009-05-30:1869403:Topic:3151682009-05-30T04:45:41.414ZPhoenixhttp://tennisopolis.com/profile/Phoenix
".....Seven time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams made her major debut at Roland Garros 13 years ago. Ironically, this is one Grand Slam ( Australian Open is over, so don't bother wondering ) that has been sort of a nightmare for the current world number three. Perhaps, it is safe to say so as well, since the only saving grace for Williams on parisian clay came in 2002 when she made it to the finals and lost to sister Serena.<br />

Today turned out to be no different as Hungarian Agnes Szavay…

<br />
Today turned out to be no different as Hungarian Agnes Szavay bagled her powerhouse opponent to complete a 6-0, 6-4 win in just over an hour. Williams got a break in the seventh game of the second set but got broken right back to lose serve once again, this time for the match. ....."<br />
