Could have an effect today as he was a childhood idol to Rafa...HATE to use angles like this...but makes fed look a bit more enticing on the handicap..

Well, I initially wrote that in my thread and on TI awhile ago but the more I think about it, the more I think if anything it'll have the opposite effect. His mental strength is remarkable.
Nadal's too much of a stallion - if he's not willing to retire at the Aussie Open when he was obviously in severe pain and was starting to get beaten, then I can't see him letting this affect him negatively. I think if he is thinking about Sevie's death at match time, he'll use it as that elusive special motivational technique ie Do it for Sevie
I'm not saying the handicap bet is wrong in my opinion. But my initial reasoning for considering it has dissipated after I thought about it some more. Best of luck whatever you decide to do
