Answer 8

No, because Federer is gonna beat him this year!!!

Answer 9

Last year in his acceptance speech he said he would try to learn French, but he may just memorize some basic phrases.

Answer 10

You would think that, wouldn't you?  Maybe he thinks that learning French just to be able to address the crowd at Roland Garros would jinx his chances, him being superstitious supposedly.  It's happened before, like in 1983 when Martina Navratilova was dominating women's tennis and everyone, including her, assumed it was a done deal that she would win the French Open.  She prepared a victory speech in French before the tournament even started, and she ended up being upset by an unseeded player, Kathleen Horvath, in the 3rd round.  It ended up being her only loss of the entire year, and prevented her from winning a calendar year grand slam, although she would go on to win 6 slam titles in a row after that loss.

Answer 11

I agree! He may not though and just have a repeat of the last time. You can never predict that kind of thing

Answer 12

i hope he does
