My Roland Garros/ French Open 2009 Predictions

Okay so this is my first blog. I hope you all enjoy it and please leave a comment expressing your opinions as I would love to see how they differ from mine!

My Predictions

1. Rafael Nadal – Winner

2. Roger Federer – Semi-finals

3. Andy Murray – Semi-finals

4. Novak Djokovic - Finalist WRONG! This is the biggest shocker so far and it's deeply upsetting, plus it ruins a lot of my other predictions as I thought Djokovic would be the one to defeat Del Potro and Federer!

5. Del Potro – Quarter-finals

6. Andy Roddick – Third round WRONG! Okay well personally I'm over the moon that Roddick reached further than my expectations let's hope he can get as far as possible.

7. Gilles Simon – Fourth Round WRONG! I thought he'd lose in the third round but changed my mind :(

8. Fernando Verdasco – Quarter-finals

9. Jo Wilfred Tsonga – Second Round WRONG!

10. Gael Monfils – Quarter-finals

11. Nikolay Davydenko – Fourth Round

Ranking Points should (hopefully) therefore be as follows:

1. Rafael Nadal – 14960

2. Roger Federer – 9790

3. Andy Murray – 9590

4. Novak Djokovic – 9130

5. Del Potro – 5120

6. Andy Roddick – 4310

7. Gilles Simon – 4060

8. Fernando Verdasco – 3890

9. Jo Wilfred Tsonga – 3375

10. Gael Monfils – 2610

11. Nikolay Davydenko – 2975
