They meet again, this time in the 4th round at Indian Wells. Should be an interesting match, considering Tsonga embarrassed Nadal at this year's Australian Open.
My heart says Rafa but i voted for Tsonga, Rafa is not the same player he used to be. Actually i'm from Mallorca, and here there's a rumour about Rafa's "early retirement". He has serious problems on their knees and feet, He's lost his strengh.
I hope i'n wrong
I think you need to remember that Nadal not only has a score to settle from Australia, but he also has a title to defend in Indian Wells. I think we will see the best of Nadal. Consider also that it is a slower court, and I think you have a cocktail that will see Nadal win in straight sets. Time will tell though.
Holy crap! I'm watching the match ... 5-5, 3rd set and the channel (FSN) dumps tennis in favor of a pre-game show for the Detroit Red Wings. I love the Red Wings, but come on ... Nadal/Tsonga > lousy pre-game hockey show.
