I have been a lover of tennis for many years. My girls both played on the junior national circuit and went on to play at Notre Dame. I've stayed involved in the game, go to the U.S. Open every year and went to the French Open a few years back and had a real blast.

	Seles

Hey, speaking of the French Open, the second Grand Slam of the year is here and I have an opinion on this year's tournament. I'm going to go out on a limb and pick the winners, baby! Let's start on the women's side, where it's very competitive. You have the Williams sisters (Venus and Serena), Jennifer Capriati, the two ladies from Belgium (Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin). My pick to win it all may surprise you: Monica Seles.

Yes, she plays down here in Florida, and she is performing well, coming off a championship at the Madrid Open. She won the French Open in 1990, '91 and '92 and she's capable of surprising people. As the sixth seed, there are some expectations. Her draw is not easy; she could face Venus Williams in the quarterfinals. I'm still going with Seles as my pick to take home the trophy from Paris.

	Agassi

On the men's side, I'm picking Andre Agassi. The bald guys have to stick together, baby! Agassi played well on clay a few weeks back, and he'll be prepared for this challenge. Marat Safin, the highest-seeded player in his half of the draw, has a back injury and won't be 100 percent.

There you have it, Seles and Agassi to win the French Open. Just a prediction from a big fan of the sport -- and all sports, for that matter!
