Of course, it has nothing to do with the fact that he's 5-0 against Fed and 3-0 against Novak up there. Or the fact that he's only lost once in 8 years. Those facts don't matter to anyone, no let's all vote for a 31.5 year old Federer to get the job done against Rafa that he couldn't do in his peak.

Who knows, maybe Nadal has decided to clean up his act after his 7 month "injury" layoff. I think Federer can beat a clean Nadal at RG.

I voted for Nadal because I want to jinx him because I'm a Fedfan.
But seriously, let's see how he does in the Golden Swing then we can take it from there.

I've voted Djokovic, because I want him to win and I think that he will win. However, it just feels so wrong for Nadal to not win.

Nope clean Nadal beat him 5 times up there. Unless you have some evidence to prove otherwise...

There is a difference between a video game and reality clarky.

Take your blood pressure meds, The_Order.

As for you, TheF1Bob, I'm more likely to win RG than Djokovic, so let it go.

Del potro has a better chance then Federer, Murray, Tsonga and Almagro for me. He took fed to five last time hampered with injurys.

So far only one vote for him, mine.

He is one of the few players to have good results against Nadal and has pushed Nadal on clay.

LOL I know, just harmless fun.

Anyway, Clarky has a better shot getting a CYGS than Novak winning RG.

with stamina levels of that of a wta player, del potro's skills are pretty much non influential in the final outcome against big guns........

Its not like Nadal has only been out a few months. We are talking close to a year here. It will take a good 5-6 months of steady tennis to get back to a high level

Maybe Wimbledon for Nadal.
How did you manage to make just over 7months turn into nearly a year

one match played in the night means jackshit........i can give you four matches right here off the top of my head which he lost simply because of stamina issues........

1. roland garros 2009 semis against fed - lost after leading 2 sets to 1

2. davis cup 2011 match against ferrer - lost after leading 2 sets to 1

3. us open 2011 third round against simon - lost in a grueling four after leading 1 set to 0

4. roland garros 2012 quarterfinal against fed - lost after leading 2 sets to 0
