mathieu punched himself out after 2 sets when they met in Cinci or Canada last year so it's hard to see him getting the job done. He certainly has the game for it though.
PHM will play great points, break a few times .. but Nadal takes it.
As is the usual in their matches against each other, I imagine Mathieu will push Rafa around, feast on short balls, play out of this world for long stretches, and lose in 3 or 4 sets.
Theoretically PHM has no chance but I saw their three matches (Montreal, Roland Garros & Toronto) and know that Nadal's play suit to Mathieu. The Frenchman was dictating condtitions through long period of time in these matches. But he's an inconsistent headcase. If he is able to keep focus throughout the match, he would win. But I don't believe that he is able even with Wilander in his box 
There are so many different scenarios here.
1) Paulo blows Nadal off the court.
2) Paulo hits excessive UEs and hands match to Nadal
3) Paulo is too tired to compete over 4 or 5 sets
4) Nadal is too consistent for Paulo
So really, this match is an exciting prospect. Pick an option, any of them are possible.

Nadal in 3/4
PHM has had his chances before and never took them... no reason why tomorrow will be any different.

PHM is good off both sides. he will push nadal, maybe take a set.
I think Nadal will crush Mathieu (90% chance). But it might as well be the other way around ...
PHM in 3 easy sets. No contest. Expected result. Never in doubt. Vamos.
Precisely. Just like Simon; it might last a bit longer though.PHM will play great points, break a few times .. but Nadal takes it.
Anyway, unless PHM went through some serious mental changes over the last 6 months, I don't see how he can win this.
He's got the testicle king in his box now!Anyway, unless PHM went through some serious mental changes over the last 6 months, I don't see how he can win this.
Mathieu in 4. No. 3.
