I can't see Youzhny playing well here at all. Be safe go with Nadal in 3

 

[Rychu]

If only Youzhny remembered how to play tennis...

What a shame.

 

[DjokerLife94]

Nadal easily.

 

[Eddy DoubleD]

I can play myself with Nadal. The score would probably be the same.

 

[Wojcirej]

Don't like this matchup. But Misha seems to be a shadow of himself, so... Dunno what to expect. :shrug:
I'll go with Nadal in 4.

 

[Haasounet]

youzhny is still in top 100 ? wow, surprised

 

[MTF user]

Youzhny would manage to lose even to Delbonis on hard.

 

[JMdelpotro6]

Youzhny's form is horrific. Nadal is the worse possible draw for him. Even in the form Nadal's in, I have to go with him in 3.

 

[GSMnadal]

Absolutely no idea what will happen.

Nadal needs to be really shit for him to lose here, but these days that's not unthinkable. Pretty tough first rounder, given all the other mugs he could've drawn. However, at least he knows Youzhny well and knows how to beat him. Unknown guys have given him trouble lately, so who knows.

I'll just say Rafa in a tough 4

 

[wildemu]

kind of rough for the #47 player in the world to get this.

 

[emotion]

Youzhny is clearly done. Nadal in an easy 3 barring a miracle. His last three matches have been losses to Basilashvili and Giraldo and Bellucci on hard without even getting to a tiebreaker.

You take well after your idol. Gonna be a hard match, no? I'm the underdog, no?

 

[Sombrerero loco]

nadal if healthy

 

[Fogmeister]

On Colonel's racquet obviously.

 

[ClutchOn&Win]

If Colonel wasn't come off a terrible run in tennis, he would win this one with Rafa not even 60%... imagine it will go 5 sets never-the-less...

 

[ReturnAce]

Under/Over 25.5

 

[Roo]

Whilst I would love Youzhny to unexpectedly turn back the clock with a freakish last hurrah performance, that would disturbingly increase the chances of a Berdych SF. We can't win. Hopefully Falla does one of his routine early round scares.

 

[monfed]

LOL I think counting how many games Youzhny wins is more interesting.

 

[levhimahfuz]

Youzhny in 4

This shows you never watch tennis outside the top 8. My suspicion was right.
