If rafa wins in Madrid then I think he loses here in sf just don't think he could win 2 back to back 1000 masters even on clay or maybe I am underestimating him

Another decima for The Nadal? That would be four (RG, Barca, M-C).

Things didn’t go well for The Nadal at RG in the two full seasons he didn’t win at least one M1K on clay before Paris.

Aslan’s gonna be wax-on here folks so stand back, step off and definitely steer clear of all Rome(o)Boat betterering.

2015 is one which is other??
2004: had to skip all the warm ups and RG due to a scaphoid (wrist) stress fracture suffered while keeping his perfect record intact vs teenage nemesis Gasquet in a 3-set Oeiras victory. He might already have 14/21 if he hadn’t had that bad break.

2004 does it even matter at this time

if Novak beats rafa here, is the french open and GOATness 21 slam win in jeaperoudy ??
Will djokovic avoid being bagelled?
Last 2 clay meetings:
2019 Rome = Nadal def. djokovic 60 46 61
2020 Roland Garros = Nadal def. djokovic 60 62 75
BTW, tennis will never have a GOAT.

Nadal only needs to play 3 matches to prepare for Roland Garros, as we saw last year....
And in this clay season he's already played 11 matches.

Best draw for nadal to get back into full form for Rg.Sinner, Ruud, Zverev are all tough opponents if he gets through it then a final is surely on the cards where it will be toughest match for sure djokovic/thiem/Tsitsipas

Djokovic is a tough match? 60 46 61 Nadal beat Djokovic at 2019 Rome, after Nadal had lost in the SFs of Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Madrid.
Diego destroyed Nadal last year at 2020 Rome..... and Nadal is playing better now than he was in the early rounds of 2020 Roland Garros.
So would the current version of Nadal drop a set at Roland Garros? Nah, not likely.

Djokovic is playing, interest level just soared for Rome.

Think he will be super pumped/motivated...Not won since AO (although not quite a normal year)....I see Thiem coming full of fire too....Same for Rafa...

Feels like a bigger 1,000 than usual....Think all the ‘bit guys’ will be up for this!

Rafa stopped the Tsitsipas train at Barcelona who hadn't dropped a set till they net on clay 2021, now Zverev us on a similar streak and you could expect him to have that streak until they meet on friday and this time rafa is also part of being streamrolled by that train so motivation level would be super high and I expect most convincing performance to come from rafa this year on friday next week
