Tennis pundits are putting their reputations on the line these days as they are asked to predict who will win the French Open and Patrick McEnroe is leaning toward Djokovic.
Ah yes, the art of picking a tennis match winner is truly something to marvel at. Anybody that's ever tried it knows how tricky it is and many pundits are losing sleep these days trying to determine who will win the upcoming grand slams. Mats Wilander picked Djokovic, Alex Corretja picked Djokovic so why should Patrick McEnroe be any different.
The American was asked about it a recent interview and he said:
"Normally I would say Nadal is the favourite. Djokovic got him at the French last year, but I still think he (Nadal)’s the favourite, all things being equal."
But these are not normal times so McEnroe played it safe:
“But, I think, I’m leaning towards Djokovic at the moment despite the fact that [Carlos] Alcaraz got him in Madrid. Altitude there, the ball jumping a little bit more, and Novak’s starting to find his range. Right now, I’m going Djokovic as the slight favourite.”
Will he be right, only time will tell but be sure to follow us daily for the best Roland Garros coverage out there. Just do it, you won't regret and then we can marvel together at whether McEnroe was right or wrong.
