You can pretty much always count on Nadal to send Monaco to the bakery. Just look at their clay h2h:
2015 Buenos Aires F Clay Rafael Nadal Juan Monaco 6-4 6-1
2014 Madrid Masters R32 Clay Rafael Nadal Juan Monaco 6-1 6-0
2012 French Open - Roland Garros R16 Clay Rafael Nadal Juan Monaco 6-2 6-0 6-0
2011 Spain v Argentina - DC WG - F 0 Clay Rafael Nadal Juan Monaco 6-1 6-1 6-2
2007 Stuttgart Outdoor QF Clay Rafael Nadal Juan Monaco 6-1 6-3
2005 Bastad R32 Clay Rafael Nadal Juan Monaco 6-1 6-1
No kind of spanish confidence could deal with serbian heart of courage. Their match at RG-16 gonna be more ruthless than RG-15 QF, get ready for epic and quick blockbuster with happy end.
Wow some serious players here... If Nadal wins this, it will be a very good sign for spring. But the problem is obviously that he may actually NOT win, which would look pretty bad.
As much as I hope Tsonga wins it's hard to look past Nadal or Ferrer here, a Nadal v Ferrer final is the worst case scenario which will no doubt happen.
Probably a boring tournament with Nadal defeating Vulture in the final for the upteenth time. We can only hope the people of Buenos Aires are treated to a more interesting final though, like say Tsonga vs Thiem or really any final not involving Ferrer.
No idea what Isner is doing here and not being in Memphis for example. Does he have Argentinian family or friends? Did he lose something in the country from another travel some time ago that he needs to recover?
I think he basicaly says, that he wants to try something new, new tournaments and new cities. He states that he feels comfortable playing on clay and it´s a challenge for him to play south american clay tour.
This tournament can be quite interesting and there are at least a few candidates to win. I choose Nadal but it could be difficult for him. He's already preparing for RG and more clay wins will be good for his confidence.
Great tournament shaping up here. Have hope nadal fog or nadal final would be cool for a 250
