    War in Italy: Nadal vs Tsitsipas

    War will break out tomorrow in Italy between a Spanish and a Greek warlord.

    In Spanish, " Nadal" means "Warrior". In Greek, "Tsitsipas" means " Fearless".

    Give us your take on this battle.

    From what i saw this morning, Nadal backers (myself) were lucky that Verdasco was running on fumes. A fast paced clay in the mid afternoon helps Tsistpas more than Nadal. Tsistpas is one of the few guys that has a massive forehand and Backhand. I also noticed Nadal is standing deep on returns. I think you have to go with Tsistpas again or atleast +1.5 sets

    Yeah but he has no answer for Tsistpas forehand. One of the few guys on tour with lightning in both hands

    From what is saw vs Fognini, Tsistpas didnt look fully energized. You could tell hes played a ton lately... he was a badmatchup for fogs really. Fognini was bad really. This is a tough match because i would like to think the oddsmakers know what they are doing.
