The 2010 French Open draw is out with hot favorite Rafael drawing a qualifier, defending champ Roger Federer drawing Peter Luczak and Andy Murray will take on Richard Gasquet.
On paper it should be a tough match for Murray and most reports out there claim it to be a tough draw for Murray – But Gasquet hates playing at Roland Garros, he cannot handle the pressure of the home crowd, he is not the player he was three years when he beat Murray twice as he still continues to recover from injury and the overturned drugs ban and finally not many players recover from losing after leading 2 sets to 0 as Gasquet did in their last meeting at Wimbledon 08. So Murray should come through in straight sets.
If he is to win then he’ll likely need to beat Federer in the semi’s and Nadal in the final – so if he achieves that then he deserves the win – highly unlikely though with the devastating clay court form that Nadal has shown recently. The spaniard is unbeaten on clay this year and racked up another 3 masters titles.
Nadal is odds on favorite to win the title at Roland Garros this year – See a full list of the 2010 French Open Odds.
