The consensus has been to fade Nadal after the French as his body is spent. Is this year any different. I realize he isn't that big of a favorite tomorrow, but dating back I think he is usually a first or second round loss most times after the French.

but Rafa lost in the semis of the French. He didn't win it, so he won't be gassed,
and he's won this grass tournament twice before in 2005 and 2007 so I'm sure
he'd like to win it again and get on the right foot before his English invasion.Comment -
wafa lost in the quarters and he is also looking to as many matches as possible to get back a winning form.
in any case, fade him against baggy? i doubt it.Comment -
Baghdatis +1.5 sets would be good though. He's always played Rafa tough on non-clay and that was when Rafa was at his peak, although you could say Baggy of course is also a far cry from what he was. Quick conditions in Stuttgart should help him get some cheapo serve points again if he doesn't double fault his ass off again.Comment -
Bags was terrible last year, but is doing better this year. Still not good enough for my $$$. Nadal it is...Comment -
Nadal/Seppi/Cilic ML pays + money tomorrow is my POD. Nadal lost to the #1 player in the world. He is plenty rested and not about to hang it up yet. He isn't what he used to be, but he won't have any issues with Baghdatis.Comment -
Seppi, can someone provide background on him. Tempted on just Nadal and Cilic, but know nothing about Seppi.Comment -
Baggy is shit, Nadal shit on grassComment -
