    Any Tennis fans looking forward to Roland Garros?

    Really looking forward to it. I had planned to go out and watch it with a friend but decided against it when Federer pulled out.

    I think this year will be wide open. Rafa is clear favorite but he's no where near his best.

    I've punted for Alex Zverev for £70 @ 66/1. One because he's the best young talent I've seen for a long time and two he wears the most expensive watch on tour (well between him and Rafa).

    Any other tennis fans tipping anyone?

    the 2 players you mentioned plus Thiem,Djokovic and Wawrinka.
    Nadal for me though.

    Zverev is currently 18/1 so that's a great price you got.

    Sentiment after the Australia Open I'd love Rafa to get one more. If Djokovic hits his old form he'd be hard to beat. 11/4 not bad odds. That said he may go out in the 1st 😜

    I backed him before his performance at Rome. He was available at 50s today on Bet Bright.

    I think Rafa wins. I was very surprised when he lost to Thiem. I do question if he could still come on top of a gruelling 5 setter.

    Saying that he did beat Zverev and Dimitrov in 5 sets in the Aus open.

    Sascha is a good kid (met him when he was 14, we still keep in touch a bit), he hit the highs in Rome, but is a bit too on-off-on-off to take a slam yet (although I hope I'm wrong). Will be interesting to see if having Andre in his corner gets Novak's fire burning again, Rafa has spent a few days fishing in Mallorca, so he'll be refreshed and ready to go having competed something like 5 weeks out of the last 6. Thiem looked very tidy recently on the dirt and could be a good shout.

    Much less interest without Sharapova. Bad decision IMO.

    Very much looking forward to it and indeed the whole season. Could be a new winner this year. No Wimbledon tickets though this year :(

    got a feeling for Wawrinka v Thiem final
    quality semi line up where as the womans is a joke.

    Given that I tipped Them earlier in the thread I'll go for him and Andy in the final.

    Five sets of Andy Murray generally sends me to sleep. I prefer the women's game which is more entertaining and more open without Williams dominating.
