    not me, Federer has been focused on beating Nadal on clay for a while now, this is going to be Federer at his best.

    Not sure I could ever bet against Federer, especially at those odds...

    Roger is Nadal's bitch on clay. He truly hates this slow surface and will never win Roland Garros. I couldn't believe how he threw away the 2nd set.
    Can't blame him though, if you are better than 99% of everybody else, it's hard to motivate oneself.

    I almost have to believe it just might be a mental block of some kind.

    I don't think it's a mental block. The fact is that Federer is the best player in the world on every surface but clay and Nadal is the best player in the world on clay - it's as simple as that.

    Another terrible performance by Roger. Take Nadal -125 to win the French, much better value than Roger at -225 to win Wimbledon.

    No doubt. Of all the props...this is the most certain. My prediction is Nadal beats Federer in 4 sets again.

    the draw will determine whether federer makes the final,but i personally don`t think he will,more so if canas is in his way.

    Nadal is my favorite player but he was not favored in last year's Wimbledon Final vs. Federer and I can almost guarantee that at the Australian, Wimbledon, and U.S. Open, it will be a long time before Nadal is favored over Fed. Only at the French will Nadal continue to be favored against him. That's the only Grand Slam at least that Rafa is favored at.

    The oddsmakers know that Fed turns it on at Grand Slams, which is why he has 10 of them. I look forward to the day that Rafa can beat Fed at a Grand Slam that has grass or hard court, but I believe we are a few years away from that.

    Hopefully, Rafa will continue his incredible play on clay and win the French again which will give him 3 slams. Then he can hopefully get back to the Wimbledon Final and beat Fed this time. Fed is just sick on grass, though, that's the problem.

    Speaking of Wimbledon, look out for Andy Murray this year. I think he'll have a strong Grass season...

    The only problem that murray has is he is to injury prone due to his physical weakness,if he can sort that out then he will be a serious challenger for world no1
