It's Madrid Masters all over again as the theme for this year's edition of the French Open, with Roger Federer the defending champ and No. 1 seed in the top half of the draw and Rafael Nadal, seeking a perfect season (22-0) on clay, the second seed in the bottom half.
There has not been a repeat champion in a major since the 2008 US Open. Can Federer defend the French, or will Nadal achieve the first-ever "clay slam"? (Monte Carlo-Rome-Madrid-Roland Garros sweep)
