So, its the third straight year that these two have met in the final of Monte Carlo. Is the third time the charm? Will Federer beat Nadal? If he does, it will certainly be a very VERY good sign for him at Roland Garros. Bouncing back from his first match nightmare (two points from defeat...twice!), he has defeated Monfils (eh..), Nalbandian (who had only let Robredo win one game the day before), and Djokovic (world number 3). If he beats Nadal, Federers confidence should be excellent for the next few tourneys.
Personally, I think if Federer can get the opening set, he has a great chance. If he loses it, it'll be tough, but Federer did beat Nadal last year in Hamburg after losing the first set 6-2, winning the next two sets 2 and 0. Nadal has looked very tough, but the thing Federer has going for him is that Nadal has had a cakewalk, while Federer is match tough. Maybe it'll overwhelm Nadal, maybe it won't, idk. Nadals still the man to beat, so hopefully it'll be a good one =)
