Could this year be the year Nadal has a less than stellar run in the clay court season? Huge amount of points to defend in the next couple of months.

Over best of 5 sets at Roland Garros will be a different story, does turn up the notch on the intrigue meter as far as the clay season goes.
 
Second time in a decade Nadal has failed to advance to the final of a red-clay Masters 1000 event. I won't be writing him off come RG time.
 
"I didn't want to pull out (against Federer) because then people start talking different things about me and my withdrawals and so forth. That was the main reason."

That's sad. It's sad to see anyone force themselves to play on to avoid any public backlash.

Novak's out for the foreseeable future apparently. Doesn't know how long it'll be.
Yeah, looks like he'll take a longer rest. Plenty of time until the RG, so I expect a full recovery, considering it's nothing too serious.

Christ, yeah. You couldn't imagine the vitriol he copped from guys I know from another forum. They're the very type to dump crap on him for this no matter how justified he is.
 
Good to see Stan keeping up his good form after the AO.

To be fair, Wawrinka stunk it up after the OZ Open. Two early exits in the US and an embarrassing loss in the Davis Cup, Now he has his mojo back and I was surprised how well he played on clay.

He beat Fed at Monte Carlo a few years back, in his only other victory over him. Stan now 6-0 against Top 10 opponents this season. He did have a poor American swing, but hopefully this gives him confidence for the rest of the clay court season. Would love it if he won the FO as well.

As would I. After the crap that got slung at him after his "undeserved" Australian Open win I'd love to see him stick it right up them and bring another grand slam home. I'll be rooting for him.
