OK, two medium plays for tomorrow....to be honest it becomes MUCH tougher at this point in a tourney....I don't have 32 matches to wade through and find my favourites, so I understand if not everyone tails here.
Nadal beat Ferrer by 4 games today and didn't play his best tennis, AND Ferrer is stronger on this surface than is Berdych. Berdych DID beat Djokovic, but in this case Djokovic didn't play his best after the first set and I think at worst Nadal gets his push here 7 times in 10.
Paire was in amazing form versus Chardy (a match I was wrong about). Unless Paire decides 'I did well enough by beating Djokovic and can relax now' I think he has an amazing shot to cover and possibly may even cover against Federer, who will be looking to conserve a little energy and should not be too worried about pushing himself here. He has proven that he is ready for the French and he may just relax a little.
