Finally time for the lovely clay season! First out is the classic Monte-Carlo Masters.
Can Nadal defend his title and claim a 10th victory?

Does these European tournaments use Lighter balls ?? Clay court balls. Usual hard court balls pick up dirt super fast and become very heavy on red clay,,,,and that heavy ball can cause injury. I know most of the WTA clay tournaments use lighter Wilson clay court balls so ball would move faster,,,,,Thank goodness for that..........

Thats becuz they knew you were coming so they had to bake a cake or they wanted to give davis cup crew another week of rest for a more rested field of players- so they would not sleep during play.

Nadal has come pretty close to winning two big HC events. He's itching for the clay and I think he gets it done.

Probably a couple first round matches start on Easter Sunday (16 April) and then the majority will start on Monday the 17th. That seems to be how they've done it in years past. We'll have to wait for an official order of play, but if I was to put money on it, I'd bank on there being at least 2-3 matches on Sunday.

Singing this too with Jelena as Mama and Pepeleo as Galileo:
[Intro]
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me

[Verse 1]
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

[Verse 2]
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh, (any way the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright'ning me
(Galileo.) Galileo. (Galileo.) Galileo. Galileo figaro magnifico
I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let me go.) Will not let you go
(Let me go.) Will not let you go. (Let me go.) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh mamma mia, mamma mia) Mamma mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me!

[Verse 4]
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby!
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here!

[Outro]
Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows
 
I voted Nadal for 2 reasons:

1) Had one of the better starts of the year on a surface that he has struggled for the last 3 years despite not winning a title
2) Because he is simply the king of clay

With that said, I don't think he will beat Djokovic (if the matchup occurs) straight away unless he plays more aggressive and goes for his shots. He simply can't "outgrind" the latter given Nadal's decline in speed and consequently defense. The last time they had met was also on clay in Rome where Nadal simply squandered away many chances he had and couldn't win a single set.
