Rafael Nadal, has continued his amazing clay court domination this season by claiming the first two clay titles. He went undefeated in 2006 and to be honest I wouldn't be surprised if he did it again this year. No one has been able to overcome him on this surface and most players can't even come close. Djokovic, has been the only player in 2009 to take a set off of him during their finals match in Monte Carlo. Surprisingly Federer, hasn't been there to challenge Nadal. He's been way off his game for most of the year although he's recently started to play a little bit better at Rome. If he's able to make the finals and get himself back on the right track, I could see him reaching the finals of Roland Garros for a fourth straight time, although it's extremely unlikely that he would be able to beat Nadal even if he got there. Djokovic and Stanislas Wawrinka are also good bets for the finals. Andy Murray just isn't good enough on clay to pose any kind of a threat to Nadal.
My guess is that it will be Novak Djokovic against Rafael Nadal at the Roland Garros finals (assuming they are on opposite ends of the draw.) Roger and Stan are the two other likely candidates but at this point they are distantly behind Djokovic. If Nole is able to put up a good fight I could possibly see him taking a set and maybe forcing a tie-break, if he doesn't do well then... I hope he at least finishes the match.
Prediction: Nadal wins Roland Garros over Djokovic 6-3, 6-2, 7-6, if Nole plays well. If not then 6-2, 6-0, 2-0 Djokovic retires.
