Novak Djokovic: My Bet to Win the 2011 French Open
This French Open will truly be the test whether Novak Djokovic has the makings of a real champion. Yes, he does have two Grand Slam titles already but he hasn't had shown the consistency which Federer and Nadal has done during their incredible runs. So it's crucial for him to win this French Open to show everyone that he too, can handle the pressure of continuing a winning form.
His achievements this past month has shown that he can win over Nadal on clay twice in a row, so he is really the overwhelming favorite to win this title.
It's not going to be an easy task though as he may face Del Potro in the third round, then Gasquet in the fourth round, Berdych in the quarters and Ferrer or Federer in the semi's. So definitely not an easy draw for him.
Nadal has a relatively easier draw to the final. His possible opponents include Davydenko, Ljubicic, Soderling and Murray.
Federer, on the other hand, may have to face Dodig, Tsonga and Ferrer, before facing Djokovic in the semi's.
Well, the French Open starts in less than 3 hours so let the fun begin!
