Question

What potential challengers does Novak have on his side of the draw?

Answer 1

Nole has no challengers until the semis dear. If I were you I'd be worried about how fast  the clay is playing it could make Rafa vulnerable

Answer 2

@Sonja

fast clay? are u kiddin me?

Roland Garros is way slower than hamburg..infact Hamburg is one of the fastest clay courts out there, and Rafa looked anythn but vulnerable at Hamburg..overcoming a 3hr battle like that doesn't spell vulnerability to me.Defeating Djoker and FedX back-to-back even.

Answer 3

3rd round - Canas

4th round - Mathieu

Qtrs - Berdych / Baghdatis / Gulbis

Gulbis - this chap seems like a promising player, may be not now but in a year or 2. He nearly took out Nalby in some recent tourney and held match point against that no good Nikolay Davydenko at Miami (yes the same tourney where davy finally won defeating Rafa).
