Everyone who knows their tennis can readily confirm to you that this year's French Open men's title is all in Novak Djokovic's racquet. It's really for him to lose! The king of clay, Rafa Nadal, is struggling to find his form that gave him a mind-boggling nine FO title. Roger isn't really that comfortable on clay and although Andy Murray, is finally finding his footing on this surface, his new found confidence might not be enough.
It is but fitting that the #1 seed should have the hardest draw of players to beat, especially if that #1 player wants to win his first Roland Garros title. Novak's mountain to climb starts in the quarterfinal stage where he meets Rafa Nadal, who has been quietly dispatching all his opponents in 3 straight sets.
It's definitely the match to watch in the QF round, much like a championship match that happens two rounds earlier. Whoever wins this match will most likely go on to win the title - that is, if they don't expend too much energy finding a way to beat each other! Because if they do spend, like 5 hours on court, it's really going to be a free for all in the next two major rounds!
