GARROS
FORECASTS
* MEN *
|
| ODDS |
PLAYER |
THE SKINNY |
|
2-1 |
Juan Carlos Ferrero |
A well rested Ferrero -- that
shoulder injury was a bluff-- looks primed like
his draw for a French title run. |
|
4-1 |
Andre Agassi |
A good draw for Agassi, who begins his quest
for a Calender year slam -- the only thing
not on his resume. |
|
6-1 |
Carlos Moya |
The 98 champ basically caved in
the weeks leading up to the French, but don't
let that fool you as King Carlos never does
well in early May. |
|
10-1 |
Roger Federer |
It's slam time
for Club Fed, so time to show that much-hyped
talent of yours. |
|
15-1 |
Gustavo Kuerten |
Clearly the three-time Brazlian champ is
not playing his best tennis, but anyone who
draws a heart on center court has to be reckoned
with. |
|
15-1 |
Guillermo Coria |
If Agassi stumbles
the speedy Argentine will have a good look at
a semifinal. |
|
20-1 |
Gaston Gaudio |
Highly skilled Argentine has the
game but little big match experience.. |
|
20-1 |
Lleyton Hewitt |
Hanging out
with Kim doesn't do a whole toward helping the
game on clay. |
|
25-1 |
Agustin Calleri |
Tough draw for the Rome finalist,
who needs to step up in slams. |
|
25-1 |
Andy Roddick |
Could not have
picked a easier path the quarterfinals, to bad
that's where Ferrero will likely be. |
|
30-1 |
Yevgeny Kafelnikov |
Former champ has never lost in
the First round at Roland Garros. |
|
35-1 |
Felix Mantilla |
Rome champ could
be a factor if he can get thru to Friday. |
|
40-1 |
Arnaud Clement |
France's best shot, as Grosjean
is banged up and Gasquet not ready. |
|
45-1 |
Albert Costa |
Last year's
winner is surely content with how he did...last
year. |
|
50-1 |
David Nalbandian |
Again, part of an extremely tough
top quarter.. |
|
60-1 |
Younes El Aynaoui |
The always-exciting
Moroccan has a nice looking draw |
|
