thanks general masterclass.
Hi everyone! The French Open or Roland Garros as locals like to say is already underway with qualifying rounds.
The top players have started to arrive and some are already practicing.
Roger Federer, runner-up on Sunday in Rome at Roland Garros practiced today with coach Stefan Edberg observing, Djokovic. Rome's winner, tested the surface as well, and Rafael Nadal arrived.

awesome updates general masterclass.
Updated Post #1 with the main draw image!
At first glance the top half QF/SF seem toughest, while the bottom half earlier rounds seem toughest.
So probably not many early upsets for top players in the top half, while the bottom half may have a few.
