My new favourite tenniswoman is ... Svitolina. Not only for tennis reasons though

So now we have the draws of the French Open. 1. Rafa has no big opponent before the quarter finals (and even that...). Dolgopolov could have been a nice little test if the latter was on the top form but he's lacking of matches (only 2 since Australian Open !). Probably Gasquet in the third round. Do I have anything to add ? We all know that Rich' will not do anything. Maybe Sock (who is player I do like) ? No... 2. Djoko is playing well again. oasisserbia did you see his semi final against Nadal in Rome ? That was a quality game from Novak. Even his Q-F against Nishik' was top tbh. Porte d'Auteuil, he'll probably play Ferrer in the second round, not the easiest game but I see Djokovic winning. After that probably Bautista Agut and then Dimitrov (if Grigor doesn't lose before lol). If Djoko is playing well, he can go through till the semi finals. 3. Zverev has a nice draw. No big opponent before the Q-F (I can't see Stan The Man coming back on great form next week) ,and a possible game against... Thiem. To take his revenge of the Madrid's final, Dom' will probably have to beat Tsitsipas and Nishikori. Not easy games, not easy games. 4. A Del Po - Cilic will be nice in Q-F. Cilic played very well in Rome (excellent semi again Zverev). Del Potro has a groin problem, hope he'll feel alright next week. 5. For the girls, disappointed to see a potential Svitolina - Ostapenko only in Q-F. Could have been a nice final. Ostapenko and her craziness is not the kind of girl Elina likes to play (see Wimbly and Miami). But I feel like Svitolina is gaining more and more serinity. She's been impressive in Rome, especially in the last two games. 6. Will keep an eye on Bertens and Kontaveit in Paris. Both could do a very good tournament. Also, an eye on Kasatkina. 7. No Sharapova or Williams for the win, please. 8. We miss Roger The Escapist, innit ? I'd have a lot of other things to say but I'll stop here. Oh and the bets: Men winner: Rafa Women winner:

Yeah, Novak still got it. It's just the question now how much he still want it to be top player. I think the fact he called Vajda and his staff back is a good sign.

But I think he can come back in the top 4, even if it's just for some weeks/months. Rome was really encouraging for him but let's see for the French !

Well, for players like him, only number 1 counts. Federer was fine not being number 1 for 5 years, so I don’t think that will be Djoko’s main priority As much as I dislike Djokovic, it’s not good seeing him lose so much. It’ll be good if he goes deep into the French Open, he’s got a tough draw though

Great match from Bolelli. Whatever's the match ending (we all know it obviously), he has played exactly like any player should do against Rafa: very aggressive and with a lot of variations. Some should learn something from it.

Well one of my bets for the titles is already wrong, that's a shame Btw, oasisserbia did you see Novak's match ? He went absouletely mental during 2nd set tie break

I don't like that kind of behaviour but I must say that it was good to see that. There is still fire in him, he was talking too much about love and peace lately, he was hugging trees etc.
I mean, there is nothing wrong with that but if you are tennis player you need to be an animal.

That Djokovic - Verdasco is beyond atrocious. The worst match of the tournament so far ? Hope it gets better.

UNBELIEVABLE ! I can't explain Cecchinato performance today, especially in that last tie break.

I can't see Novak accepts such a deal with all the money he won during his career
