French Open Schedule Should Favor Roger Federer
Last year’s French Open was great but I think this year’s might be even better. That’s because in the recent French Open tennis news coverage, the defending champion Rafael Nadal lost on the clay court during a tournament in Rome. The schedule has been very intense this year and his cries to the ATP president were ignored.
Since he is most likely shaken from this unexpected loss, his rival Roger Federer might have a chance this year. Roger is getting older and winning the French Open 2008 might be his last chance to complete his career Grand Slam. He has lost the last two years to Rafa. I’m hoping this year is the year for Roger.
I also hope that he retires when he is on top instead of waiting until he slips in the rankings. Maybe the French Open schedule will be favorable toward him. I guess I’ll just have to keep my fingers crossed and stay glued to the television.
