no time for previews this year, let's be honest it's read from top to bottom by Under 3.5 people anyway lol, read Journeyman's thread's for a better insight into the 2024 French Open, in brief, I have Collins and Alcaraz winning the tournaments, the boring winners would be Swiatek and Djokovic, I don't trust Novak this year, has not been himself and that's without injury, I too'd and froo'd between Collins and Sabalenka outright, bearing in mind Sabalenka has a 6-0 win record against her but the flip side is that can't continue forever as the gap is really not that big and I really like Danielle on clay, it feels like she peaking for me and I'd fancy her to take Iga out (please God someone take her out), but if someone did it wont be Gauff, that's just a terrible match up, don't really know what to make of Nadal, ordinarily he wouldn't turn up if he really felt he couldn't compete, but as it's probably his last ever French Open, think he'll make an exception, have gone with Zverev anyway. Andreeva and Zheng could surprise, they are definitely two players on the rise and could make an impact at the business end of slams sooner rather than later. That's Mirra not Erika obviously
You can follow all of my pre tournament picks @ http://www.tennisdrawchallenge.com/user/wta/profile/dirtballer, once tournaments starts, they're all locked in and can't be changed as each round is completed, can also see previous history in the slams, peaked at number 1 in WTA Australia last year from over 1300 brackets entered. Peaked at 67 out of 1600+ in the men's slams, here at Roland Garros last year. In fact 2nd best effort in the mens' was the Roland Garros 2022, looking to continue that good run in 2024.

thanks, Andreeva no longer under radar for most peope so value will dry up on her now but great progression for her in general, from the small sample of grass court matches we sall last year, her first on the surface, she held her own against Keys who is one the much better grass players, Wimbledon imo is not out of the question for Mirra Mirra.
