    For me, the time has come to confidently oppose Rafa on Clay

    And it starts with David Ferrer.

    14 units @ 3.60.

    His depth and consistently will be too much for Rafa.

    If I was forced to pick a winner here and betting odds not apply, I'd still have to go with Ferrer. Which is pretty crazy.

    BUT for some very sound reasons.

    So @ 3.60 it's a no brainer.

    Regardless, it should be a great match. David seems to eventually fold against Novak (who's just on another level), but against this Rafael Nadal he will battle with the full belief in a victory.

    It would have come for me too if only Ferrer had impressed me in the earlier part of the tournament...

    Good luck!

    Was just about to say the same. Ferrer isn't executing at all.

    But that's the risk taking on the King of Clay. Ferrer needs to be at his best and instead he's below par. Rafa has improved too.

    I'm still not ready to write Ferrer off. It looks like there's nothing he can do, but he can play a lot better and isn't executing at all right now.

    He could sneak the 2nd set.

    Pretty bad. He had 8 ue's before 3 games of tennis had even finished. And Rafa hadn't even made him play many extended rallies.

    Just genuine unforced errors.

    Like I said though he can play a lot better. So who knows.

    Abysmal?

    Yep. Never again, against a quality player with versatility.

    A poor bet imo, but also a shocking performance.

    I can not believe Ferrer playing this much poorly. Nadal has nothing. He is like a pussy WTA player

    I can't watch the match. Is Ferrer injured? This is ridiculous. If ever there was a player you knew would give 100%...

    Ahh so he starts playing with the correct tactics and intensity when down a set and a double break.

    Against Rafa on clay?

    Nice one, dick!

    Fascinating this.

    When you watch Ferrer's fight, his intensity, his determination, and his so few unforced errors now, it's no wonder us guys on him were bemused and angry at his start to the match.

    Don't see him coming back this time either.

    Well he has certainly had his chances.

    Nadal scraping through games with shanks and line balls

    Anybody else noticed Rafa's service motion got weird in last couple of games? Especially second serve.

    When Nadal got passive, Ferrer made Nadal pay. When Nadal got desperately aggressive, Ferrer was ******. Nadal tried to win the match playing defensively for the most part. That didn't work obviously. Nadal got aggressive when he needed to in the 3rd and Ferrer had a lot less chance.

    All Nadal had to do was match Ferrer's aggressiveness in the 3rd set and ferrer had little chance. The only chance Ferrer had was for Nadal to continue to play passive.
