Why Novak Djokovic Is Still the Prohibitive Favorite at the 2016 French Open

A prosperous fortnight in Monte Carlo and Barcelona gave a rejuvenated Rafael Nadal two big titles and imbued him with the type of confidence booster he desired for months on end. The sample size is small, but Nadal showed flashes of the old “King of Clay” we once grew accustomed to seeing wreak havoc every spring. The buzz around him is palpable. But that recent success may not matter...

Australians may not be confident ahead of the three-test series with England in June, but former Wallaby great Michael Lynagh went into hyperbolic mode when he suggested the Red Rose would whitewash Australia down under.

I expect Jones to take five back-three players down under, and with Anthony Watson, Jack Nowell, Mike Brown and Alex...
