    Hoping to see Almagro and Nadal go at it in the quarters. Nadal/Fed Finals? Yes

    Those will be the best two matches of the tourny. And Djoko Federer third if they both make it. I say Fed disposes of him. Clay is Fed's best surface for sure

    Did you mean Nadal? Federer's best surface is grass.

    I would love to see Almagro or Raonic go far. I am hoping that somebody defeats Nadal. I'd love to see Federer defeat Nadal in the finals.

    Almagro can't compete with Nadal. Guy could probably win a Slam if his fitness was above YMCA level. Nadal will work him over like he always does throughout the course of a match. Best of 3, maybe Almagro could win if Nadal was having an off day - best of 5, less than a 5% chance IMO if both are at full strength.

    Outside of Fed & Djoker, I think Berdych has a better chance than Almagro. Berdych will at least make it close. Almagro would get creamed in straight sets.

    The Joker is not himself right now, I wanted to fade him to win the French Open but bookies have him at -380 to not win, so not getting any value to do so.

    Berdych can't put together 5 setters either though he has the talent to do so. Ferrer is the only guy I see potentially challenging the top 4.

    Lots of tournaments now, it looks like the set-up is Djokovic, Ferrer, Federer & Nadal in semis. Most are looking straight past Andy Murray now with his injury issues/inconsistency and Ferrer is usually eager/capable of filling the semifinal slot in Murray's quarter in most draws on all surfaces now.

    Isner is going to be the surprise and go to the semis.

    Almagro is one of the best clay courters in the world but he never fares well against Nadal.

    0-7 against him and he only won two sets.

    They met twice in the French before.

    First: 6-1 6-1 6-1!
    Second: 7-6 7-6 6-4

    yeah almagro won't win but him and Nadal will produce some great rallies. Contrasting styles too even though both are Spaniard clay courters.

    I put some money on the over.

    I got $120 on Federer winning this tournament at unreal odds and I honestly think he will beat Djokovic and I will hedge if he faces nadal in the final.
