who agrees that by the time Monte Carlo, Barcelona, and Madrid are over that you get a little "clayed" out? All though this is my favorite time of year with all the tourneys scrunched together. anyways im watching Bellucci now and he is reminding me of Almagro...his level has completely dipped since last week....who will win? i think Rafa will win this one. only because this atmosphere is slower than madrid
MURRAY?!?!

Your right it does seem to be a long run up to Roland Garros.

Verdasco missed math points in the 2nd against Soderling and now they are in the third and the lights have just gone off, literally.

He made up for it, though, with a strong score in History!

What is wrong with Nadal? Losing a set against a guy whose ranked 148 (7th best Italian in the rankings which doesn't say much) on clay. It's as if his past 3 MS finals where he' lost to Djokovic has signficiantly rocked his confidence :?

Yes. Nadal is pretty much done at this point. Retirement is the only logic outcome now.
Level 13 Edberg and counting...

I would retire, no joking, i mean this like Fed, the motivation is going down year after year, best thing he can do is coming back to Mallorca and spend the days fishing and playing golf
The effort to be up there every year is unbelievable, that's why i respect A.Ro so much

Actually, to be completely fair to Lorenzi, he's playing great Tennis and isn't letting up on the big points either.. what's surprising is how effective/consistent his serve is to Nadals forehand. Lorenzi to win.

i'm watching Fed vs Richard Gasquet, please guys check Federer's socks, all players on clay end the match with their socks brown due to having being sliding on clay, Roger Federer has the socks completely WHITE, hahaha
