For women, I think

Serena
Amelie Mauresmo (i think she gotten over her stage fright)
Jennifer Capriati (she is playing well and loves the negative energy from the crowd)
Maria Sharapova (HEY! She HAS a chance!!!)

For men,

TIM HENMAN (He's chill)
Guillermo Goria (he's an expert)
Gustavo Kuerten (HE IS DEFINITELY THE KING OF CLAY)
Lleyton Hewitt (He is fiesty so it shows in his results)

I'm watching it.
Mauresmo's topspins aren't doing her any good against Dementieva's forehand flash shots - they are really good. Dementieva is playing with her top form right now.

I hope Jennifer would make a comeback. I have not seen her played on French Open yet but judging from her past tournaments, she really did need to make a major improvement on her concentration on her games and how much she would be willing to focus on them. Her concentration is pretty awful, compared to say, Serena's or Justin's, in my opinion.

Not sure about the men, but... GO HEWITT!!!!!!!

I think Coria will win the men's but Nalbandian also has a good chance in my opinion. In the women's I really have no idea! At the beginning of today I thought Maursemo but now I just don't know.

I think Coria will be the king of clay. He is really in a great form, I don't think anyone can stop him no matter how hard it is for me to accept : DD

Nalbandian beat Kuerten and Gaudio beat Hewitt in today's quarter finals. I'm now thinking that it will be a Coria v Nalbandian final. I'd love Tim to win but I just don't know how he will do it the way Coria has been playing! Coria has won his last 36 matches out of 37 on clay.

tears for henman, always a semifinalists, never a finalist.

Yes, that does seem to be the case. He gets slated for it in Britain and they don't seem to realise it's not easy to get to semi-finals of grand slams, especially at Wimbledon with so much pressure on him! I have my fingers crossed for him tomorrow but whatever happens, it has been a good run for him.

Well I'm hoping that this upset streak continues for ________'s sake.

Gaudio v Coria final. Not totally thrilled but I'm probably just upset Tim is out. I think Coria will win but my heart is telling me to support Gaudio!

Perhaps I should stop predicting things! lol. I can't believe that match. After the first set I thought it would be a straight sets easy victory for Coria and I had it all planned out in my head what I was going to say on here about men's finals of late being a bit boring so it was a nice surprise when Gaudio won the third set but I still thought Coria would win. Then something went wrong with Coria's legs and I thought he was about to retire from the match! Then he started to play a little better and Gaudio had problems mentally and no-one could hold onto their serve! A strange match. The strangest sporting match I've ever seen! Congratulations to Gaudio and hopefully Coria will win it soon because he was in control of the match.

omg i feel so bad for coria. this is like his only chance to win a grand slam. he should have been like myskina and punish his opponent.

I was with Coria from the start of the tournament, he was my pick.. but once Gaudio made it to the semis, I kinda started secretly rooting for him lol.. I definitely thought he was done in the final after the first two sets, then it got all weird lol, but it turned out to be a great match, that fifth set was really fun to watch.. and it was really nice to see Gaudio win, I was happy for him.. I felt bad for Guillermo, but I know he'll win Roland Garros
