Courts are slow, obviously a concern. I could see Roddick breaking once and taking another set in a tiebreak.
Thoughts?

As good as Roddick is playing he can take a set from Nadal...but Nadal is playing great now and can handle a fast serve maybe better than anyone that i've seen lately...so I don't see Nadal losing this...but you never know.

It hurts me to say it, but Nadal wins IMO.

The way Nadal returned big serving Tsonga and the quality (or lack thereof) of Roddick's return game means end of the line for the American.

Roddick can rally fine and has developed his weaker areas but he doesn't play like Tsonga which is aggressively pushing Nadal with strong shots to the corners consistently....and even with that Nadal was able to get there and beat Tsonga with no problems...i agree with those who think Nadal takes this but I am hoping for a close match that goes over 22.5...i would like a 7-6 nadal then a 6-4 roddick then a 7-6 nadal just for the drama but i highly doubt it will be that close.
