Pressure is on Nadal to deliver
by husshez@rediffmail.com on May 20, 2011 09:59 AM

nadal is still no.1 and have won 5 french open titles. so nadal is definately the fav to win but a huge pressure will be on him since his confidence level has gone down with straight sets defeats to novak on clay. he seems to be confused when it comes to Novak these days. even recently federer was able to take a set from nadal on clay. so nadal is definately not playing his best tennis. he is not invincible on clay as he has been in the past. Speaking of federer, he is getting old but ppl are underestimating him. he will always be a threat. there is a reason why he is no.3 in the world. he can beat rafa and novak even at this age. don't rule him out. federer doesn't get enough credit on clay. he is actually the second best on clay right after rafa. you just don't come to four french open finals by fluke. even he has a chance to win the french open.

Djokovic certainly starts as favorite. Nadal may win too.

Another test to Nadal's fighting abilities especially when Djokovic studied Nadal's game all these 3 or 4 years as world no.3 and finally fine tuned his to defeat Nadal repeatedly.

Murray can be underdog as he was just two points away from halting Djokovic's winning run if he had not served a double fault at that crucial stage at Rome.

Murray may beat Djokovic but will lose to Nadal. The draw will look interesting this time.

Nova is just nplayeble right now, no doubt he is firm favrt to win Rolland but dont count Nadal out, he will may the last laugh, certain changes in game and he can beat Nova and only he can right nw, Fedex for sure can do as well witht any doubt.
