After the first set of matches, some countries are already in trouble. Big trouble. Not only were opening-match defeats killer because they put certain countries at the bottom of their group; they are especially bad when you consider the new Euro 2012 rules.

Rafael Nadal, like always, is the clear favorite at the French Open. But when you take a look at his ridiculous clay statistics, “favorite” might not even be good enough of a word. Rafa will have to go up against the two best in the world in Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, and that just makes it all the more amazing how heavily he’s favored.
