Nadal is getting fatigued easily running out to early leads and then fatiguing and losing them, is now less fit than Djokovic, and Djokovic has proven throughout this season that he just bagels opponents in deciding sets if they dare to take a set off him (best of 3 or 5) - and Nadal couldn't even beat Djokovic in best of 3, yet somehow everyone is claiming that he will beat Djokovic in best of 5?
I don't get the logic.
And yet, I agree with it.
I think that Nadal will continually improve throughout the clay season (he has already shown vast improvement) whereas Djokovic will decline through it, and if that pattern continues, Nadal will beat Djokovic quite easily at the French Open.
I think Nadal will win Barcelona, Madrid (beating Djokovic), Rome (beating Djokovic), and cap it all off with a 10th French Open (beating Djokovic).
Last year he lost to Ferrer in Monte Carlo, yet still won the French. And this year he BEAT Ferrer in Monte Carlo, which suggests he will win the French more easily this year than last year (and last year he won it easily as well).
