If Nadal played in Cincinnati then maybe we would get 3 Nadal-Med finals in a row. I'm really not sure withdrawing was the correct thing to do as his draw until the final would be a joke.

Difficult to say how it would have panned out, but I think it was ok for him to skip Cincy.

No way. Even if cincy was an easy win, Rafa didn't skip it because he thought he wouldn't win.
He skipped it because he rather not fatigue himself for USO Therefore being more injury prone

And it worked out, he's in USO final and he looks fresh
