When is this on???
I'm not really getting to the hype of Rafael Nadal. I don't think he can bring it all together to win a big tourny like this
I think Juan Ignacio Chela @ $151.00 and Tommy Robredo @ $81.00 are good value.
Other than that i like Guillermo Garcia Lopez @ $251.00, Fernando Gonzales @ $41.00 and Ivan Lujbicic @ $81.00
whattaya think?

I wonder guys if we can keep our ATP posts to the ATP thread. Too many threads going in different directions causes confusion.
As for the French Open. It starts on 24th of May. Personally I think anybody taking futures on the French open is a bit silly. The European clay court season and the French open is about survival of the fittest. Moya went down yesterday, Federer & Hewitt are also injured. An awful lot also depends on the draws in these 5 set events. Getting through without killing yourself is very important. If you add up the odds the bookies give on futures you will see why they are the rich ones. Wait till you see the draw and access the fitness of the ones you like.
As for your selections Chuck, I agree with Rock. "Do you actually watch tennis". Nadal is not hype. Of your choices Robredo is the only one that has a chance. The rest are terribly underpriced especially Chela. As for Garcia-Lopez 250-1 of actually getting into the tournament would be a better bet.

OK Chuck, you have got Tommy through to the quarters. But what about Chela, Garcia Lopez, Gonzales and Luby?
You can still get $28 Tommy on the Fair.
Still not into the hype of Nadal? This kid is the best for his age we've seen in a long time. Pity he had to draw FedEx in the semis but he is still a chance.
