After his 2009 major shocker, will he win RG in 2010.
Now he has multiple threats-
-injuries to himself(knee, stomach who knows what else)
-Federer is good now on clay (well he won RG now) - average in other tourney
-Del potro has matured and has nadal's number(2,2,2)
-Djoker has pushed nadal in the past
-FO organisers 'conspiring' making it more like a hard court than a clay court. Only real 'clay' court tourney is monte carlo, barcelona and rome. RG and madrid were hard courts in 2009.
-other threats like Soderling etc
If nadal is healthy and in decent enough form prior, and well rested, he should win RG, as no one else is better on clay. But i feel the organisers have made it into a hard court and Nadal's chances are less than in 2005-2008 when it was playing like a slow clay court.
