If none of the top ten players were to win the french open who do you think would win?

Question

for both men's and women's sides. personally i think it would be tsonga on the mens and either szavay or azarenka.

Answer 1

That scenario is phenomenally unlikely, but I'd pick Tommy Robredo and Nicole Vaidisova.

Answer 2

Men Tsonga

women- Svakay or Safina

Answer 3

vera zvonareva

tsonga

Answer 4

Nicolas Almagro is most likely to win it....then there's Fernando Verdasco and as for the women, Nicole Vaidisova may well fit in...

Answer 5

Andreas Seppi or Paul Henri Mathhue

Lady's PAtty Shnyder

Answer 6

I agree Tsonga would be my choice for the mens...but not sure about the womens I don't really care.

Answer 7

Tsonga isn't all that great on clay, I thought.

Anyhow, I think I'd also pick Robredo or Berdych to win it.  I would root for Youzhny to win, I like him! Actually Juan Monaco is very good on clay. I'd root for him also.

Answer 8

that wont happen for the men. its either going to be nadal, federer, or dojo. tsonga is not even playing in the french.

Answer 9

gonzalez or berdych

for women

cornet radwanska vaidisova or zvonareva

Answer 10

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

Answer 11

My pick would have been Tsonga - but he withdrew just a while ago :(

Now, I'd have to go with Berdych or Matheiu. Berdych because he has the game to be in the Top 10, and really should be in there, and Matheiu because he has a good game and will benefit from the home crowd support.

On the women's, it's anyones game now that Henin is gone. There isn't really a favourite.

Minus the Top 10, I'd give the best chance to Szavay, Zvonareva, Radwanska or Cornet.

Szavay, I think, is destined to win a slam at some point in her career. Radwanska just won Istanbul yesterday on clay, and Zvonareva has had the best season of her life so far, as has Cornet - especially on the clay. Cornet also won the junior title at the French Open last year.

My picks for outside the Top 10 are Matheiu for the mens, and Cornet for the womens. I can't see either Nadal, Fed or Djokovic not taking the title, but I can see anybody in the Top 20 winning the womens title - especially with Henin out of the picture.

Answer 12

It would have to be Tommy Robredo .He is good .

As for the Woman's side

i think Dinara Safina with her form like on berlin will be the winner

Even cornet she is good   if she can reach the final of a tier one event as a qualifier
