Who'd you say would have a chance vs. Rafa at USO? I'd say:
Fed
Djokovic
Murray
Roddick
Verdasco
Tsonga
Nalbandian (if healthy)
Blake
And that's just including guys in the top 20, and not including maybe's of guys who've beaten Nadal on HC before (Berdych, Davydenko, Ferrer). So I don't think the career slam for Rafa is as much of a lock as everyone expects.
What a joke. You must be another TW clown. I am not even a Nadal fan, but you are downright nuts and delusional with a list like that. James freaking Blake a better shot at winning the U.S Open than Nadal, ROTFFFFLLLLLLL!!! The nearly 30 year old who has only been to 3 slam quarters and cant even beat Nadal head on slow hard courts anymore despite the favorable matchup. Nadal last year dead tired still surpassed Blake's best ever U.S Open. Of course only someone who calls himself JamesBlakefan thinks Blake has a better shot at the U.S Open than Nadal.
Tsonga, based on what, one dream hard court event which was still topped twice by Rafa's at the both the Olympics and Australian Open this year, and is still 1-3 head to head vs Rafa on hard courts against despite the favorable matchup.
Nalbandian, the mid 20s guy who has never been to a slam final anywhere except a fluke Wimbledon final on his worst surface, who has had all his best career results indoors, whose best results where all from 2003-2007. Oh yeah not to mention there is almost no chance of him even playing the U.S Open this year.
Roddick who since 2004 hasnt beaten Nadal on anything other than lightning grease court which is even much faster than the U.S Open in a best 2 of 3, and who hasnt been past the quarters of any slam other than the Australian Open since 2006 now.
Verdasco who couldnt even beat Nadal playing out of his mind at the Australian Open, and who has done nothing in slam events other than that.
Federer, Djokovic, and Murray I could see "maybe" although I dont neccessarily agree on all 3. The others put down the crack pipe. Steff Graf or Martina Navratilova have a better shot coming out of retirement and winning Wimbledon with back to back double bagels over the Williams than James Blake does of ever winning a slam title at this point.
