Does RG, a graveyard of champions?

We are in second week of the French open; already most of the former grand slams champions were sent home packing. Only Roger Federer from Men's singles and Serena Williams are hanging around till fourth round. Nadals, Novaks, Safins, Hewitts, Roddicks catched the early flight from men's section. And in the women's side the defending champion Ana Ivanovic, Maria Sharapova, Venus Williams were sent home.




After watching the tournament till fourth round, one could imagine does Roland Garros turning out to be a graveyard of champions? You have to agree to an extend, because most players arrived at the tournament after a tight packed hard court and relatively short clay court season. Already, Rafa and some other players complained about the long schedule of hard court season which makes the players very tired soon.

Do ATP & WTA reconsider the tournament schedule and will they give enough break in-between tournaments?
