Finding the women's more interesting atm. My tip this year is Elina Svitolina.
Would like to see Halep win as she was so close last year and been close to winning a grand slam having lost several finals in the last 2 years. Plus my Romanian mate coached her in her early teens.
My mates gone to this , really random but on his bucket list. I would probably go but do find tennis boring, went to wimbledon once when younger.
I quite like tennis. Paris tickets are much easier to get than Wimbledon one, judging from the empty seats there
I have to be in the mood to watch it like F1, can watch them but not really that bothered. I did flick over yesterday to see who was on, the french is probably the most dull with endless rallys and being so slow. We all know who is going to win anyway
This is where Fognini is most dangerous. He goes through spells of great play when he's just gone behind. Edmund needs to weather the storm and hopefully break back or at least take the deciding set.

Thiem is arguably the next best on clay just now.

Just proves how dominant those 4 guys have been in the modern era.
Won 1st set 6-1
Was winning 2nd set 2-0 and Peter Gojowczyk pulled out
Edmund through to round three and will play 18th seed Fabio Fognini. The winner of that will face Cilic or Steve Johnson in the last 16.
Edmund will have his work cut out and will do very well if he manages to win.
To me the match could go either way, as Edmund is good on clay, unlike most British players
Hard to call if Clay or Hard court is best for him(anything other than grass)
Lost 1st set 3-6
Won 2nd set 6-4
Won 3rd set 6-3
