so nadal even if he goes through with the knee problme will have to face a tough opponent before reaching the finals...he is four time def champion rite or is it five lost count actually ??

Trying to win his fifth.

And yes, but even other than Murray, Gonzalez and Verdasco are also very good on clay and capable of beating Nadal on their day, or at the very least making his life difficult.

It's pretty obvious which side of the draw is softer with Djokovic out. Would take Monfils, Roddick and Del Potro any day of the week over Murray, Gonzalez, Verdasco and Davydenko.

Anyone think Soderling will win this? And if so, in 4?

I think if he's going to win it, it'll have to be in four.

Hopefully Rafa pulls this out of the bag, though Soderling is playing very well.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

I have a feeling he'll break this game...

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Geez, that 30-30 was a horrible point.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

At least I didn't put my testicles on the line.

Yeah, best not to do that.

Massive game here at 6-5 Nadal. So so big.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

There's been a pubic hair in it for a lot of Soderling's shots, so about time one went in.

Soderling tightening up on some of these? Has to hold here.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Wowowow. Come on Rafa!

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Poor return there. Suppose Nadal had to play one poor stroke.

7-0 in the breaker imo.

 

[Jono]

Magnus Norman has the most calm face ever.

We aren't great on the prediction front in this thread, are we?

Could do with a shave though.

SBI: clearly a jinx, not a prediction

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Come on Rafa - have to take these points.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Tre-ett!!!

Despite moving rubbish.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Ohhhh no
