1) Rafael Nadal Vs David Ferrer ( Pick Rafael Nadal - 5 @ +125 ) ( 1 UNIT PLAY)
I am going to be Playing Rafael Nadal Today.After having been on the other side of the handicap two times where the dog cashed for me,i do now believe that it is time to play the champion on the big occasion.A lot was being said about Nadal being really dominant on clay and i must admit,he has looked really awesome leading upto the final.Ferrer,on the other hand has looked good too but today will be a real test for him as he is up against someone who has owned him on the clay.
The Head to Head record between the two stands ( 12-4) in favor of Nadal and the dominance becomes prominent on clay with Nadal Leading Ferrer ( 8-1) on the dirt.I will be breaking down the Head to Head meetings between the two and the difference of the handicap in the end i.e the games won.
HEAD TO HEAD MEETINGS BETWEEN NADAL & FERRER ON CLAY
1) ATP Rome 2010 : Nadal def ferrer ( 7-5,6-2) ( Nadal by 6)
2) ATP Monte Carl0 2010 : Nadal def ferrer ( 6-2,6-3) ( Nadal by 7)
3) ATP Barcelona 2009 : Nadal def ferrer ( 6-2,7-5) ( Nadal by 6)
4) ATP Barcelona 2008 : Nadal def ferrer ( 6-1,4-6,6-1) ( Nadal by 8)
5) ATP Monte Carlo 2008 : Nadal def ferrer ( 6-1,7-5) ( Nadal by 7)
6) ATP Barcelona 2007 : Nadal def ferrer ( 7-5,6-1) ( Nadal by 7)
7) ATP French Open 2005 : Nadal def ferrer ( 7-5,6-2,6-0) ( Nadal by 12)
I am confident that Nadal wins this in straight sets and even if ferrer manages to keep one set close,i see nadal dominating one as well as suggested by the stats as well as my gut.Nadal is the play here.Good luck
