Well, the French Open really doesn't favor American players. It favors quicker, more agile players who have a finesse game. It is not like a Wimbledon, where you can win with a dominating serve, you have to have a decent return game and not rely on power. Roddick relies too much on power and won't win 2 matches in this tournament.
He had a bum ankle...sprained it in Germany a couple weeks back...part of the reason why he was the dog.
Also, rankings and such usually dont mean much in clay season...such a specialty surface. For example: James Blake (#8 in the World) is nearly a 1-3 dog against the young Spaniard Almagro (#41).
Should be the Nadal Invitational for the rest of the way...i beleive he has won 59 consecutive matches on the Clay.
