With Roger Federer providing more evidence of a career in decline, and Andy Murray highlighting the ever-widening gulf between his ability and likely grand slam success, we find ourselves with the same final line-up as at Wimbledon, but this time we know more. Djokovic closed the small gap in their head-to-head record at SW19 that day, and in stunning fashion. A fourth-set blip aside, the Serb was dominant.

[b]With Federer flailing, you'd think Rafael Nadal was even more of a certainty to win the French Open than usual. Not so the Betfair Contrarian who anticipates an upset at Roland Garros...[/b] There are few guarantees on the ATP men's world tennis tour, besides the fact that Andy Murray's wait for Grand Slam success will drag on, Andy Roddick will perform better at Wimbledon than he does in Paris and that Rafael Nadal will always win the French Open. The first two of those still hold true, but the last one is suddenly less than certain due to a weaker start to the clay court season than usual for the world number one, and the rise of Novak Djokovic. The Contrarian has taken note and is consequently recommending that you lay Nadal to win at Roland Garros at 2.08... [b]It's not been...
