I don't like the draw, but it does make my "Justine and Coria" call from a while back look a little better Mind you, I haven't checked Justine's draw in detail yet. Eh... could have been better.

For my guys Rainer vs Chela: bye bye Rainer Guga vs Sanchez: may be another round for Guga For the rest: What a draw for Coria Gaudio's draw is not bad either There's still the chance of all Americans pack their bags after 1st round.

Coria's draw I mean it was like he did it himself.

The draw is slightly top heavy with talent, that means it'll be easier to pick my days to watch it.

The weasel should be made to play his match against Carlsen left handed he'd still win 2, 1 and 0.

That's not a full link, Brinyi. I like Volandri's chances in the Duck's 16th. If he can beat Saulnier (which he really should) I think he has a nice chance for the fourth round Otherwise, looks like my guys got screwed...Ferrero will be killed by Coria in the QFs if he makes it that far. And hopefully Jarkko stays out of Volandri's 16th

That's not a full link, Brinyi. Some sort of funny Proboard thing is happening -- You have to copy and paste the whole line.

Hack, If Volandri does reach the R16, which he will, he will surely reach the quarters, which he will do also, because he should beat whoever is left out of Ljubicic or Puerta or Massu or a random qualifier. Then he runs into Canas in the quarters, and I am not sure what will happen there. Actually, I am sure, I just don't want to break the bad news to you. So Canas finally gets to a major semifinal, which is nice. I hope he enjoys the moment since he will be killed by another Argy Guillermo in the semis. In the final, the other Guillermo guy will play Nadal, who will have defeated Federer in the other semi. Normally I would like Federer's chances but he will have been fatigued after tough marathons against Hrbaty and Nalbandian. Nadal, on the other hand is fresh after pulverising Monaco and romping past a tanking Gaudio. I don't have to tell you that Nadal will win the title, everyone knows that. Hey, I guess I just spoiled the tournament for everyone! ;D

If Nadal wins the title what will the ATP do? Move from making cheesy clips about him and just devote the entire site to him? In case people missed it the first time: www.atptennis.com/nadalIt's still funny. Even the 12th time.

Just to add to Bryni's tournament spoilage:
Next year Coria will lose another final. To Gasquet.
No need to tune back in until 2007. I don't know that result just yet. Probably Nadal df Gasquet.

You didn't get the memo about this year being Nadal's last chance at a major before the Gasquet era begins? ;D

I think the R16 is a good place to shoot, considering he's never been beyond the second round of a Slam before. It will remain to be seen how his fitness is and if he can take best-of-five vs somebody like Puerta.

...Joachim Johansson pulled out of the French Open because of an injury to his right elbow, organizers said Friday... Phew, I was concerned about a potential clash with Rafa. A truly terrible loss for the tournament , looks like we're down to 3 possible winners in Nadal, Coria and Federer.

Volandri just beat Canas and Puerta back to back in Monte Carlo, so he has a chance, but the best of five format will only expose his serving deficiencies even more. The opportunity is certainly there though, if his play off the ground is good enough.
Qualifiers placed: Federer v Sela C. Rochus v Behrend Schalken v Vicente (mm, nice draw) Vik v Kim Hernandez v Gimeno-Traver Daniel v Ancic
Bracciali v Gasquet
Djokovic v Ginepri Tuksar v Davydenko Norman v Lisnard Enqvist v Dlouhy
Agassi v Nieminen (again, what a great draw) Guccione v Ventura Dupuis v Vliegen Tenconi v Blake Wawrinka v Massu Rusedski v Saretta
