Couldn't agree more on the Nadal pick - it's absurd for him to be anything other than favourite at the French Open. Novak has been incredible this season, but he hasn't yet overcome the biggest challenge in tennis these days - which is Nadal, over 5 sets, at Roland Garros.
If he does, credit to him, but it's one of the value bets of the year to get Nadal at such a price at the French Open.
