Who thinks Rafa will be to tired to compete at 100% in Rome? Do you think he`ll make the final ? :) :) :)?

Question

Im soooo happy Monte Carlo and Barcelona 4 times in a row baby :P ! Nadal is just AMAZING! :) Im sick of everyone saying he has an ``easy draw`` for Rome, pfft its like get over it, I hope he lifts the Rome trophy next week too!!! . Why is it when its hard courts Federer always gets the easier draw than Rafa? Hmm....

Answer 1

You know who claims that Nadal has an easy draw right? So, why bother? I bet as per that person all the tennis officials are devising fiendish means of making that person's darling fed's life as hard as possible.

Rafa won, that's great but it seems he's suffering from a 2nd set syndrome... previously against Ferrer, then against Fed and now again against Ferrer. He needs to get that sorted out. He plays great at times, but only in patches.

Answer 2

Well, the newspapers and media and press are all pointing out he has an easy draw, and he even commented on it himself, so...

Answer 3

Nadal is in excellent shape. He trains more hours than he's playing during a tournament. He's not an old player, so it should be easy for him. I think he's done a run like this before.

Answer 4

i think he'll still make it to the final and probably win in rome but i'm very doubtful if he'll even participate in hamburg. he probably won't make it in the final in hamburg, if he does participate. nadal's never give up attitude might be able to push him to the hamburg finals but eventually lose. monte-carlo, barcelona, rome and hamburg back-to-back-to-back-to-back is very strenuous even for nadal who is most probably the most fit in the tour. good thing for him though that there's a 1 week off to prepare for roland garros.

Answer 5

Not always. Sometimes it is vice versa. Sometimes Nadal gets an easy draw, and doesn't make all the way to the final. Like last year in Wimbledon, Federer had a very hard draw, and Nadal had a more easier draw, but still hard, and Federer still won the title. It's an abuse by the ATP that they put 3 master series in 4 weeks, it's too much. There is many things in the ATP that has to change. Now, I still think Nadal will do good in the last 3 clay court tournaments, but I don't if he will win it because he can lose points, but you never know. I saw the match of Ferrer today, and just to win a set on Nadal, it's hard. You have to win it on his racket. So it's good to see that finally someone was able to take a set of Nadal in clay, but fell short in the third 6-1. It was a good match. Go Roger in Rome. It will be a Federer vs. Nadal final again.

Answer 6

i think the draw is equal for every player. i'm sick of hearing ppl say "oh rafa has an easy draw, fed's draw is hard" BS. i think rafa will be just fine in rome. and for the guy who said Fed had an easy draw @ Wimbledon...GIVE ME A BREAK!

Answer 7

i think the draw is alright... nothing is impossible in tennis... even with a hard draw, roger can reach the finals... also nadal with easier draw... but i think the draw is just equal... hope nadal wins rome and hamburg and french open this year!!!! he's in good shape... he still has 1-3 days of rest... from barcelona to rome... which is 1 day for flight, 2nd day for rest/training... if he still has a 3rd day rest good for him... vamos nadal!!! :)

Answer 8

he will win it

Answer 9

There is no such thing as a hard draw for Nadal on clay. He owns everyone on this surface.

Nadal won't be too tired because this is the time of year he looks forward to. Mentally he's ready to grind and physically he's fit enough for the challenge. Not only do I think he will make the final of Rome, I think he will win the whole tournament.
