After losing his number 1 status monday, I believe Joker will want to put that seed of doubt on who #1 really belongs to. I think joker wins here guys

Nadal had a bit of rest too cause of the early retirement. Is that something which gets factored in the line?

Nadal was 1.70 favourite at the US Open. Not sure why he's 2.20 now, nothing much has changed, both of them have been crushing opponents. If anything, with the added rest, I expected Nadal to be even heavier favourite going into this matchup.

I think it's #38. Nadal leads 22-15. Don't understand why everyone always is so wanting to take a side in these match-ups. I'd look to the over potentially. Their hard court meetings since Djokovic hit his peak a couple years ago have almost always seen three sets in these non-Slams and 4 or 5 in Slams. Hard to really know Nadal's status this week. The knee knock threw off his game against Fognini and then not a lot to see yesterday with Berdych retiring early.

It has absolutely nothing to do with it, but I agree Djokobo will take this one "comfortably".
Also, he did not have an easy time with Gasquet. He was just that good.

I do not know yet
Hard to watch this week because of time zones
Each seemed to play well
I would lean towards Joker here
If he loses its time to think there is a bigger gap than we think

If Nadal wins again tomorrow its a massive gap
Heavy money on Joker though since opening at -127
-141 to -150 now as far as line range

I see Joker taking this. He has been Nadals bitch the last few matches they've played. In the other tourny's jokers had brutal 5 seters and was beat up physically before playing nadal in the finals. Joker is rested and wants redemption!!! My dollar is on Joker

If the Books really capped this game correctly and Joker really is a slight favorite, then that means he will win in 3 sets.
If its close.. -2,-2.5 Game Spread, match goes to 3 sets. 7-6,7-6 Unlikely
Take Joker wins in 3 Sets prop. +323
and/or middle it with bet on Nadal Spread

Both Nadal Spread and Joker in 3 sets could hit, you could bet basically risk free and there is a chance they both hit. Nadal kills Joker in the set that he wins, like 6-2 or something and loses the other 2 sets close.. I could see that.
Good luck.

Nadal has won about 25 straight on the hard courts. would not go against him. these courts are slower and i think it's a 50-50 match with a slight edge to nadal.
