Will probably be still havnt made the decision yet though.

I expect if they have a window to start it weather-wise, they will. It's going to be a terrible match likely because there's likely to be stoppage in play for rain, etc. and the forecast shows more of the same Monday & Tuesday. It means there won't be a ton of good flow to the match unless they get a nice hour or more window, but that looks pretty shaky with the forecast.

If they don't play it tonight, then Nadal will be seeded 3 at the FO when he should be 2, I think they will try and squeeze the match in.

Courts being inspected and they will decide shortly.

Smart enough to start it early tomorrow since they might need six hours to play a two hour match with the weather. Not sure I know where it would happen, but I saw some rumors floating around that they could move it indoors potentially to finish. This is a Masters event, so they want to finish it.

are we sure about that ? i know FO is based on the ranking after Rome but not sure if ATP can wait and do the new ranking on Tuesday

this is so important, that would be pretty sick!

6am? Damn that sucks. I guess I'll have to hope for rain in the morning or I won't be watching that live.

Men's draw doesn't come out until Friday. Rankings will be reflective of whatever happens in Rome.

If they have to play it indoors I hope my book would grade that a push, Nole would win easy on indoor hard!

Moving to indoor is somtehing, moving to indoor to hard court is completely another thing. I do not think for a ATP-Master clay event that would be possible.
