Now we know ... The French Open draw is made


Blame Li Na. She did it.

No seriously, Rafa's done OK in this draw, as has Djokovic so lets not gild the lily there. The big question I suppose was who could potentially face who when it comes to the Big 4 and the semi-finals. Well, I'd been parping on forever about how important it needed to be for Rafa to be No. 2 going into the French, and I think that's turned out to be correct. In a potential semi-final line up of Rafa vs. Feds, or Rafa vs. Murray ... I don't really need to say much because the stats say it for me. But if he was No. 3, Rafa vs. the PoD after a potential 5 set, god knows how many hours of a semi-final before taking on the finalist - yikes, it doesn't bear thinking about. And due to Rafa's stellar performance in Rome ... we don't have to.


But the upshot is ... he's in Andy Murray's half of the draw. Other potential seeds in his quarter are Mayer, NICOOOOOO, Benneteau, Kohlschreiber, Raonic, Pico and Tipsy.

His first match is against Simone Bolelli Tuesday.

Here we go then ... the nerves are starting to kick in, but come on Rafa ... YOU CAN DO IT!!
