0o0o Almgaro vs Nadal quarter finals ?!?

Question

What do you think the score will be ? I know how good Nicolas is playing however i still think Rafa can get through this match without too many problems, he has to serve well thats for sure !He cant allow Almargo to dictate points too much otherwise there will be trouble. But other than that i say straight sets Nadal.

Answer 1

I don't see why people are saying this will be  tough match. Nadal has been blowing away all his opponents. The only people capable of taking a set from him are Djokovic and Federer.

Answer 2

I think Nadal will end up winning this one.  It will be close all the way through but I just have a feeling that Nadal will win and will advance.

Answer 3

a tough match.. but i still believe rafa can win this match.. until the finals...

Answer 4

ohhhhhh

I'd just sayy Rafa will win for sure, and it will definitely be another three setter :]

Answer 5

I'm going for Almagro but he can't slip. He needs to perform. Otherwise Rafa would demolish him.

Answer 6

Jesus there is no contest, some of the answers above are a little embarassing, showing how little some people know about tennis, yet still write in a tennis forum.

Nadal straight sets, something like

6-4, 7-5, 6-2

Gian franco, or what ever your stupid names is, plain and simple you are a first class idiot.

Answer 7

st8 sets nadal perhaps you cld see a 7-5 set to nadal in the first set, but it is all about the first set with almagro, if he loses it nadal is so consistent with his shots it would put almagro under even more pressure to make the big shots in the second and nadal will capitalise. By looking at the way he played against murray almagro's serving will be vital but if nadal starts to read that it shld be a str8 sets victory. Also in that game when murray won the second almagro's head dropped and started making errors if he loses the 1st then then nadal will crush almagro in the second.

im predicting str8 sets to nadal but with a tight first set which will go to nadal then you will probably see almagro crumble under pressure, but the key to this will be almagro's serving and whether he can sustain a nice rhythm with it.

Answer 8

yeah.. i dont think he'll give much trouble to Rafa...He has won many matches this year on clay but his opponents were not very experienced Clay players...Look at this match against Murray....4 sets...i would consider Almagro worthy enuough to beat Rafa, only if he had beaten Murray in 3 EASY sets...really..u really need to beat these top 10 guys in straights on clay, if u were to have any chance against Rafa..I am sure Rafa wud have ripped through Murray...to beat Rafa on clay...u need to be at least upto Rafa's level of play...which he cudn't be against Murray...

if this wud have been a hard cours tourney, i wud have favoured Nico...but its the RG..Rafa rules here with a 25-0 W / L record...so i guess it will be Rafa in straight sets...but since Nico is in great shape and has had immense experience on clay this season...i wud say...75 64 63 to rafa...and hey don't forget Almagro's SERVE...He needs to break rafa's confidence if he has to win against him, which is simply IMPOSSIBLE on clay...

Answer 9

Almagro has not got a chance. Everything he does, Nadal has a better version of. He has a bigger, more topspin loaded forehand, a backhand that is just as effective as Almagro's ( not as pretty) andl his movement is off the scale. Almagro isn't fast anyway, and Nadal can make most players look sluggish so yeah, he's got the movement sorted. Almagro's just gonna have to aim at Nadal's ankles to win the game. If he can just sprain his ankle, he's through

Answer 10

Nicolas Almagro won the French wildcard, but the wildcard almost won because he had set points in the 1st 2 sets, and almost at 2-3 serving Almagro, almost broked Almagro. This wilcard plays amazing, but came up short. It will be tough for him to dethrone Nadal. I hope this match will be tougher than what Nadal did to Verdasco. My prediction was wrong of Verdasco. Depending on how well he plays Rafa on tuesday, it will tell if Rafa will win easily or not. I think that match will go to 4 sets for Rafa. No man has ever touched Nadal to 5 sets in Roland Garros + he's 25-0 in Paris so far. If Roger does win easy tomorrow, then I'll say to you that your predicitons are a little off too. I don't think Benneteau will play a tough match vs. #1. It will be a straight sets for Roger. He will eliminate the French dude in less than 2 hours. I predict Federer 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 So honestly tell me....What will be the score of Roger when he wins tomorrow and how long will it last? How is Benneteau going to make the match intereting vs. Roger? Answer #4 was lame. He said, if Almagro sprain Nadal's ankle, he's through. Hahahaha.

Answer 11

Almagro has won most matches on Clay this year-But against mediocre opposition. I personally give him no chance. Look how Nadal ripped apart Verdasco-Another player playing well on clay this year. Nadal in straight sets I foresee. Something like 6-3 6-1 6-3 I reckon.
