The French Open - Federer's Time to Shine


It's my favourite time of the year; the start of the tennis season! The only thing better than blue skies and sunny days to mark this occasion, is the 2008 French Open. Week One has almost come to an end and the Williams' sisters have already been eliminated! With the fashionistas out of play, the men are definitely the more interesting group to watch.


This is the only Grand Slam that Federer has yet to win. A self-made tennis prodigy, Federer has hired a coach to help him out this time around to make sure he beats Nadal. I'd love to see a Djokovic & Federer final with Federer coming out on top. As much as I love Djokovic, he is only 20 and has plenty of time to surpass Federer. He already beat him at last year's Rogers Cup, so why not let Federer win this Grand Slam and go down as one of the most remarkable athletes of our time? If this amazing feat were to be accomplished, let's hope that Federer stays in the game, unlike the recently retired, Justine Henin.
