Rafa doesnt half try and play things down saying he isn't confident and isn't playing well enough to win. You've won it five times and hardly ever lose on clay and all of a sudden he is full of doubt?

Sure Rafa isn't at his best but Soderling does not look great to me either so I don't think he will beat Rafa, even with the quicker balls.

Rafa is playing really bad, honestly i see no chance for him against Soderling, and it has nothing to do with quicker balls or whatever. Like in 2009 Soderling will probably crush Rafa, we know Nadal for a long time now and when he's not playing well during a tourney ( don't know the reason) he's not gonna change tomorrow and start playing great.
His BH doesn't work, all his shots with his FH go short, his serve...well, and physically he's not injured but he's not as fast as he used to be, that said he's very competitive and mentally is the best out there.
Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

I'm actually really liking Soderling's chances to repeat his win over Nadal. Soderling didn't start off in great form but he's slowly worked his way into the tournament and is playing better but Nadal seems to be still stuck in second gear ever since the first round. It's hard to imagine he'll suddenly find top form and nowadays, if he's not on top form, even on clay he's vulnerable. Go Soderling! :D

I knew that the actual act of writing that prediction down would almost surely mean that it wouldn't come true...but I just can't keep things to myself sometimes :lol:

And it REALLY looked like Monfils was ready to bend over and take it once again..

Thank you troicki for blowing a huge lead and ruining the rest of my day, because now I have to watch the mutant for another round. :lol:

Feel pretty bad for troicki, 2 points away from the match.
