What are the odds of Nadal dropping a set in 2013 Roland Garros?
He only dropped one set at Roland Garros 2012 (and no sets at Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Rome).
I'm so impressed that he's now decided to focus on clay and skip some hardcourt events. The implications are astronomical.
The odds are legit high. We don't know his current form.
tbh, Nadal is eventually going to be dethroned in a FO final.
Similar to Nadal dethroning Federer in 2008 Wimbledon.
When that ever happens is a different story to be told.
I'm actually liking Nadal's chances for AO (sayin his chances are good (better than Federer and probably Murray) but still going for Feddy). Despite lack of competitive practise, I think he will be refreshed and if he survives the first week, he'll start to get back to strong form after dem warm-ups.
He'll most likely steamroll Murray or Federer if he meets them in semis (that's if he survives until then) but if he meets Djokovic in the semis then it'll suck really bad for him.
I think this is what Nadal should hope for:
1 vs 3 - Djokovic vs Murray
2 vs 4 - Federer vs Nadal
Murray somehow pulls off the miracle win. (He's capable of defeating Djokovic)
Federer loses again to Nadal.. sadly
Then Nadal spanks Murray causing dat brit to lose yet another major final.
