    Maybe Soderling

    Lopez worth a shot also

    Soderling/Tsonga is not bad, but they all pale in comparison to Nadal/Del Potro

    you think delpo has a shot to win? Even if he is at a 100% clay is not really his best surface and he was never a danger to nadal before. The only thing he has going for him is that the clay in madrid is a little faster(because of elevation) than the standard super slow european clay.

    I dunno if DelPo has a chance to win, but it should be a good match. I haven't looked at the odds yet, but I may make a play.

    Del Potro quietly extremely competitive this year off the injury
    I am surprised he is this good already

    Can Nadal just keep winning??

    Does the guy every fukkin let up?

    I like Nadal here. Del Potro has a chance but it's so damn hard to beat the king of clay. I also like Ferrer. Great clay court player against Stakhovsky who has been struggling a bit. He did have a nice win a couple days ago against Montanes. I also really like Wozniacki to beat Goreges. Both are 9-1 in their last 10 matches (all on clay). Wozniacki's only loss is of course against Goerges and you know she's looking for some revenge. Goerges' only loss was to Vesnina. Wozniacki has played much harder competition in those last 10 matches I believe. Goerges' 2 matches this tourney have been very tough 3 setters. Wozniacki has pretty much cruised, though she has also played weaker competition. I love Wozi looking for some revenge and avenging her final round loss in Stuttgart. I would love to watch that match also because that's some hot ass poon on the court with those two.

    Wozniacki seems like worst number 1 player we have ever had although she wins because womens tennis is so weak right now

    No way will I bet her on clay against this girl

    Nadal is going to chew him ... somehow all good clay players choke vs Nadal (see D.Ferrer - 2 finals lost this year)

    I agree that Nadal wins today. However, my boy Ferrer didn't choke either time her played Nadal. He was simply outplayed. Nadal is the king of clay.

    I have to disagree ... Ferrer had some nice hits under pressure playing against other players ... he does not seem to be able to get in the game with the same focus when playing against Nadal ... he is a "different" player from the first to the last played ball in these matches ...

    Lousy day.

    Nadal wins in a walkover, as DP withdrew.

    Djokovic won 6-1 6-2

    Berdych won 7-5 6-3

    tsonga/soderling just started

    Would be interesting if Nadal played Djokovic on clay

    Djokovic is on the greatest runs in the history of tennis

    Why do you think this one was lousy Yis? Garcia-Lopez has been a hack for most of the year. Did not expect it to be competitive myself.

    I didn't bet anything, although I wish I had (Bellucci was a fairly easy pick to make).

    I meant lousy because there weren't any good matches.

    jjgold was touting today and there was nothing good.

    I don't think DelPo-Nadal would have been a good match given the injury. Would have been DelPo trying to just power serve to stay in the match. jj misses the boat as usual, Friday has the potential for better matches - well at least two of them. Figured he would be all over the Soderling-Federer match again. I think he's taken Soderling every time they've played in the last year & got buried. Ferrer-Djokovic will be interesting.

    I think they're clearly the two best after Rafa right now.
