---------------------------------------------------------
[B]Main Draw Dates: 22 May–5 June 2016 (Sunday Start)

The French Open at Roland Garros begins May 16th, 2016 with
qualifying matches. The draw will be in this post when
available
Ever since 1925, when the tournament was opened to international
competition, the tournament has been the premier Clay tennis
championship in the world.
Stade Roland-Garros was opened in 1928 and has been the home of
the French Open ever since.

Center Court is named Philippe Chatrier, and has often been
called the "Battlefield of the Gods".
The court's area is unusually large, and a proper setting for
what is generally known as the most physically demanding
tournament in tennis.
The men play best of 5 set matches, and the final set does not
have a tiebreaker. The clay usually plays slow and diminishes
the big men's service game.
It has been dominated by the iron men of tennis, players such as
Nadal, Borg, Lendl.
Top players such as Sampras never won it, and of late, Djokovic
has struggled in his multiple attempts to win.
Will this finally be Novak's year?
Here is the main draw:

Centralized Roland Garros Discussion here.
Speculate about the draw, talk about your favorites.
Once the draw is out, talk about players paths to the final.
Which player would you like to win (even if their chances are
not good)?
Finally, which player do you think will win?
