I just don't see how Soderling can beat Nadal. To be honest Nadal will get to the final, I think quite comfortably. Straight set beat down. Sadly even Murray will fall.

There is only ONE player who truly stands a chance against Nadal, and he is Gluten Free.

OK guys...believe me or do not believe me, up to you, i dont really care. And i want Soderling to send this guy packing back to Mallorca!

I got a textmessage from a Swedish doublesplayer whos been playing at Roland Garros this year, and is staying in Paris for 1 more day before heading off to England and the grasscourt season.

He told me that Nadal is faking, its just a scam, trying to lower his expectations at RG this year. He watched his training earlier this morning (Nadal practiced from 9,15-10,30 this morning) and was as fired up as he has ever seen him. Hitting feruocisly with amazing agresivness and pace.

Congratulations all Nadal-fans, you will probably get to see the "Old clay-Nadal" today...whether or not this is enough to win the title I do not know.

Nadal knows its time to knuckle down. And I am sure he wants to send a message to Djokovic. Expect easy win today for sure. :)

Nadal has said from the first day here(before Isner match) that he is feeling fantastic in practice but that he is not bringing that same quality in official matches. So your friend didn't text anything the general public didn't know.

Lol, is the board collapsing already? I don't think it's going to be much use in the next few days.

Do you happen to know this Suede who's a board member and practiced with Soderling for a week before Rotterdam ?

Rafael Nadal: " I am writing this just minutes before going to the tournament site and getting ready for my match today!. I am practicing at 12 noon and then closing my self in the locker room waiting for my match, a very difficult one as you all know. I lost to Soderling 2 years ago and I am not playing well today. I have to play much better than what I have played so far f I want to stay alive in the tournament. Otherwise you'll see me sooner practicing on grass. ""

LOL! Nadal no doubt talks like this to himself on the way to, while in and on the way out of that locker room. :) A classic worrywart (kinda like our friend namelessone).

But once on court, he's thinking game plan.

I like his chances against Sod.

Murray is british, isn't he :) ?

Anyway don't US networks do this as well, show the freaking williams sisters when there is decent/very good mens action going on.

Doesn't mean I give a damn about the mug or his GS failures.

Nadal-Soderling is the match of the day, not Zero Man vs. Argentine Choker

LOL ! The other day someone complained about having to watch the Montanes match over the Federer one, since he's living in Madrid. I often have to watch a Sania match, or the Indian doubles players when there's a big match on. Part of life :(

Anyway, its Ralpha's bday on the 3rd, will he be in RG or in Mallorca ?

How bad was it when Federer played Monfils?

Some of Federer's millimeter perfect shots landed out. Sand was getting into the players and umpires eyes, and they had to get the court watered.

I don't suppose it bothered Gael since he was clowning around in any case :oops: Bobby might be more bothered than Raphla.

Nice try ******* woman #7, but your info is wrong Nadal has never beat Soderling on his best surface HC, the surface that separates the men from the *******s.

Another picture, verbal comprehension is too much to ask, so lets try visual.

oh HC is sod's best surface now? that's not the tune you were singing last year before wimbledon Lskempo. ;)

I know you are usually wrong about everything with respect to soderling, so I take it you are expecting a win today? :)

Beat him, if you cant beat him, make him work HARD to go the distance and let Murray/Djokovic/the greatest man who ever walked the earth take him out!!

Time for the King!

All I have to say to the King is ... good luck with this match. Just don't choke if you get to the final and it happens to be against someone with a strange looking nose!

Does Namelessone write these blog posts for Nadal or what? Give me a break, if the guy is so low on confidence and playing so horribly might as well retire the match now.
