I'm really hoping that Federer can take the French from Rafa this year. I think this year or next may be his last real chance to do so. He is getting older and most likely won't be #1 for much longer with all the young talent coming into their own.
Of course Nadal is heavily favored to win again this year (and he's surely playing well enough!), but you can tell Federer is hungry for the trophy.
I think it'll be a fantastic match no matter what as both sides have so much at stake. If Rafa loses it will crush him emotionally....., and if Federer loses he may never win at Roland Garros.
