How to handicap a tennis match involving Nadal?

Question

I am looking for effective tennis handicapping tips. Can you help me know, how can I handicap a tennis match involving Nadal? As it is a bit tricky to handicap a tennis match involving prominent players.

Answer 1

If you’re handicapping a match involving Nadal, you’d get a better indicator of his play by only examining his play on grass than considering his recent play on clay (including his dominant play at the French Open).If you know a player’s strengths, you can improve your results further. Does he have a big serve or a potent ground game? In Wimbledon, the fast grass surface enhances players with a strong serve and volley game, whereas clay courts do just the opposite. Understanding a player’s strengths should help handicapping their matches on the various surfaces. This can be helpful, especially if a player’s form has changed in the past six months or if they haven’t played many matches on the surface of the upcoming match. For example, if a player has a very balanced game, you might consider both clay and hard court matches to handicap a later grass match.
