Quick RG Update

A full and thorough draw analysis will be posted tomorrow, along with Sunday's recommendations, but here are just some very quick inital thoughts on the draw for the 2013 French Open:

• I take back everything I ever said about Slam draws being rigged! Good to see Rafa and Nole in the same half. Very surprised, but delighted. Blockbuster SF in store
• Gulbis now has a real chance given his draw. Avoided the big two. That was all I asked and it was granted.
• Federer got a fantastic draw. Won't win the tournament but has a chance at a final, although I don't think he will get there.
• Ferrer odds have to shorten, he is probably the third, if not fourth best in the draw. Represents serious value.
• Berdych v Monfils tie of the round for sure. Expect Berdych, but Le Monf in good form again. Cote d'Azur final tomorrow.
• Plenty of interesting first round recommendations.

Tomorrow's preview will be a quarter by quarter analysis and first round picks. Be sure to check in tomorrow! Exciting times! It's at times like this, just before a Slam that I really love tennis!

Over & out :)
