I don't know how many tennis fans are out there, but does anyone think Fereder or someone else can stop Nadal from winning the French Open? I hate to vote for someone who wears capris pants, but I don't see even Federer stopping him, thoug he was very close in Rome!

Nadal's actually quite keen to play well on grass unlike certain clay court specialists. Federer can beat him but I think he'll need a kind draw, assuming both make the final. One of the reasons Sampras failed to win at Roland Garos was that he'd come up against one clay courter after another and it took too much out of him.
Maybe Nadal will wind up like Lendl, with a bunch of French Open trophies but unable to win Wimbledon. He can play on the hard courts, though. He beat Federer on a hard court just a month or two ago and is 2-1 lifetime against him on hardcourt. Surprising. I think Federer will be too much for him on hard court in a grand slam, though.
