Will Acapulco gain more attention than Australia, thanks to Nadal?

The hype will be off the charts. Nadal doing his typical number on Ferrer will signal the tennis world turning on its head once again, much like the way things changed from 2009 to 2010.

I've always thought that Acapulco lay somewhere between a slam and the WTFs myself. Certainly it's bigger than the Olympics at the very least.

Yep, any competition where you get a complimentary sombrero along with your trophy will always be hard to top. Vamos!

While I agree it will have a lot of eyes watching it....or at least checking in on Rafa's results and highlights than it would normally.

but a slam is a slam

Had you picked IW or Miami, I would probably say you're right. But a slam?
No chance.

And will he really be returning or is this just another tournament that he'll skip ones we come nearer? We just don't know yet.

Well he was training on clay already last week. And it just adds up that he will return on clay. He will probably be 35-0 by June.
