The false prophet is off to a good start, but djokovic is about to make his move
She gave it her best shot in the first set but alas...
Will Murray hang on this time...

That final point was fantastic!
Great match.
Great match.
Expected. Djokovic should have been defaulted for throwing his racket into the stand, but the audience deserved a full match.

Well I guess clayray followers need reason to believe every now and then. Djokovic will defeat him in the French tho
John Dunbar

French Open qualifying started today. Who's making the FO thread?
Nice! I think Eurosport is showing them this year. Time to get Eurosport Player again.

That was one of the most insane plays I have ever seen. I'm now all aboard on the hype train, no way Djokovic can stop Murray in Paris.

He's seeded #4 because he's #4 in the ATP Rankings. You can see the list here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_French_Open_–_Men's_Singles
This does mean that Nadal is a big floater - as 5th seed, he will be drawn to face one of the top 4 seeds in the QFs (Djokovic, Murray, Federer or Wawrinka), despite being second favourite with the bookmakers to win.

Nothing can stop Kerber now.
when i said top seed i meant #1 seed because that's what they said on Eurosport today
that's why i asked, cause it didn't make sense to me
Also, the spanish media the last couple of days made it sound like Nadal was going to face Djokovic in the quarters for sure...when is the draw anyway?

It's a shame the Roland Garros website is just as shitty as it was last year. What a jumbled mess.

Well, Federer isn't playing the French.
First GS he's missed in what, over 10 years?

No Federer
No Sharapova
I know people who watched tennis just for those two athletes.

no federer is a bummer, but this is the year of clayray anyway. the swiss can save it for grass.

First time he hasn't been in a main draw GS since 1999

Jeez.
What a bummer, but it's to be expected. Federer was one of the lucky ones avoiding major injuries and surgeries.

what a shame that they cancelled Roland Garros and gave the fourth spot to Rio, i always liked a GS near me. Maybe they bring it back next year.

RG shouldn't be a slam anyway. They don't even have lights
