Where to Watch the 2011 French Open
The French Open is already in it's opening matches and Roland Garros will certainly hosts some throw downs. The changing of the guard has been swift and Novak Djokovic is cruising his way to the top. If he makes it to the finals, whether he wins or not, he will take over the number 1 seed. This would add to his already impressive 38-0 start. The red surface of the French shouldn't give Novak any trouble either, he is certainly proficient on clay, which is a skill that always gave Rafa the upper hand on Fed a few times each year. Djokovic's rise is well deserved and the streak has certainly not been smooth, but Djokovic has gotten the best of the two former one seeds and is enjoying his run to the top.
But it wouldn't be a tournament without some perimetric threats. Andy Murray has been waiting for his breakthrough for some time, and he almost had the best of Djokovic recently, but he doesn't play his best game on clay. Juan Martin Del Potro has always been orbiting around the top spots, but he is nursing the remains of a hip injury and may have some trouble fighting through the draw. The shot seems to rest on Djokovic's shoulders and his alone. He'll just have to stay out of his own way.
