Djokovic Continues Winning Streak, WTA and ATP Rankings for French Open - Tennis Now News 05/16/2011

James Waterson reports the latest tennis news for Tennis Now. Novak Djokovic continues to rise with a 37-match streak after snatching the Italian Open title from Rafael Nadal. Djokovic is gaining on Nadal for the World #1 ranking as well. How will the opportunities of the French Open affect his chances?

Several big ATP and WTA rankings have changed recently, including Mardy Fish and Maria Sharapova who are on the rise. Venus Williams dropped 10 spots after not defending her points, and furthermore has withdrawn from the French Open. Kim Clijsters, though not full fighting strength after her recent injuries, is back in the Roland Garros roster. Australian tennis veteran Ken Rosewall suffered an apparent stroke but is on the mend.

I think Novak has been so spectacular because he has matured. He always had great stuff, but let his head get in the way. He would give up when he got down. As he's matured, he's gotten over that and gained more confidence. In addition, his backhand looks better than ever and he is painting the line and hitting the best shots of his career. He is definitely beatable, Murray could have done that. I choose Novak to win the French, just barely over Rafa.
