This is the perfect prelude to the upcmong French Open saga. I'm sure Rafa will go all out to defend his prized award... n boy! Is this his forte or what??!! :) All the best to this Spirited Spaniard!
Nadal is definitely a better clay court player than FED. Clay court tennis is not about aggressive,attactive,adventurous tennis(READ FED) but about attrittion(NADAL). Clay court tennis is hitting 1000 balls at the same place(NADAL) rather than hitting 1000 different shots(FED). Solving Clay court mastery of Nadal would be carreer defining moment for FEDEX

IMHO Nadal is not a bad player in the other surface's he is not as confident as Fedex or Djokovich in other surfaces it would be interesting to see if Federer solves the clay court mystery or if Nadal finds enough confidence to over throw Fedex and djokovich
Nadal is not cowed down by Federer. He believes in himself. Many others tend to give up as no-hoppers against the world no. 1. The trick is belief that anybody can be beaten and to wait for the breaks! That seperates the men from the boys!
