Serena Williams is the favorite to win the French Open. However, she was also the favorite going into last year’s French Open, where she lost in the first round. Unlike Rafael Nadal on the men’s draw, no Women’s Tennis Association player is a sure-thing on clay. The last woman to repeat as French Open champion was Justin Henin, who won in 2005, 2006 and 2007. Even defending...
