For Nadal,its too cold for comfort

Temperatures are set to barely reach 15 degrees Celsius in the first week of the French Open,with rain showers forecast every day from Tuesday onwards,conditions reminiscent of 2009 when the Spaniard lost to Robin Soderling in the fourth round.

The only negative thing is this cold, Nadal,who came back this year from a seven-month knee injury layoff,said. Nadal,with 11 grand slam titles on all surfaces to his name,is just happy to be back playing and winning at Roland Garros again this year is not the be-all and end-all.

World no.1 Djokovic,in contrast,has put a lot of pressure on his shoulders having yet to triumph at the French Open. He has asked his support team and reporters not to tell him who his potential second or third round opponents are so he can focus on his opener against Belgian David Goffin.
