With the beginning of the spring, the number of people who does sport and decide to do sport has increased. Meanwhile for the people who are not willing to do sport but just want to watch, there are lots of opportunities in this season. Spring is the probably most fruitful season of the year for the sports events. In this season we can watch clay court season in tennis, playoffs in NBA and Champions League, UEFA Cup semifinals and finals in football. I would like to start my spring predictions with tennis.
The first quarter of the year ended with Miami tournament, and my favorite season – the clay court- season has just started. Clay court season which starts with this week’s Monte Carlo tournament and ends with second Grand Slam of the year- Roland Garros, it’s expected to be exciting but yet predictable. This period includes big tournaments like Monte Carlo, Rome Masters, Madrid Masters and Roland Garros, and some small tournaments like Barcelona, Estoril and the new Serbian tournament owned by Djokovic family, Belgrade Open. As we can see the Hamburg tournament is replaced with formerly indoor tournament Madrid Open. In the WTA most exciting tournaments are Rome Open, Madrid Open and Roland Garros.
