CD - Nadal had 22 match wins under his belt before the 2012 RG final. So that's close to your 25 number, but indicates he might not need that much match play to win it.

he is moving very slowly in that training video ........

[FedFanForever]

But yeah the idea that Nadal is gonna post 20+ match wins heading into the FO final this year seems far fetched.

[mimi]

i would be very pleased that he manged to win a small clay title .........

[Clay Death]

lets see how it goes guys. he needs matches and he needs his match wins.
 
25 match wins on clay going into the final at RG will put him on the right track. he can lose early on the hard courts to save the knees.
 
so you figure he will get 6 matches at RG. that leaves him with 19.
 
i dont know how he is going to get 19 matches on clay yet.
 
1. lets say he gets 9 matches during the golden swing. now he is left with 10.
 
2. he wins barcelona and rome and that does it. that gives him the remaining 10. he does have to win barcelona and rome in my opinion.
 
note that this gives him monte carlo to fart around and take it easy. 3-4 match wins  there is a bonus this year. he does not have to try win that event.

don't put your hope that high CD, i don't think Rafa is going to win RG this year.  Most probably, Nole is going to complete his grand slams dream.

[lurker]

Sorry, everyone nd esp Nick the greek...i did indeed nod off last night and spent most of tonight getting booted off the internet until I finally reset my connection.   Grrrrr!!!!

Still trying to catch up...what have I missed?  Davis cup not showing here in US.  Did Nole win and who did he play?  I saw an article Nadal is in Chile on the practice courts already.

[mimi]

hello lurker 

do i see things correct?  It seems that Kiki & Cody are getting larger?

[lurker]

No, that is an old pic when I used to keep Kiki's hair cut longer.  With two dogs, it's easier to cut shorter so they look smaller.

did you ever dye them into different colours? 

[Tennis4you]

V9!

[Clay Death]

nole won easily in davis cup today lurker.
 
also just goes to show that little or no adjustment is needed for top players to go to clay from hard courts or from clay to hard courts.
 
clay to grass the hardest adjustment there is.

v 10 is not far behind general scott.
general javier the fearless will be taking over.
 
i am moving on to another forum.

[Clay Death]

now where would i go mimzy?
 
we are all here to stay.

[nick the greek]

Mimi, spank him.

[lurker]

Yay for Nole!  I read he was unhappy with the court so I hope he doesn't get injured.   

Nadal will be ok in Chile.  The competition is so-so and he will feel ok on clay.  No worries there.

I will not dye Kiki or Cory hair.  It's mean!!! Plus, I hardly make them wear collars or clothes ( just for cute photo ops) because they hate being anything but 'au naturelle'.   My spoiled little monsters!!!
