Nadal is like the hunted beast at Rafael Garros. Everybody
knows he is the favorite every year he plays.
He is one of the top 3 clay court players in history, maybe the
best.
Best of 5 sets on clay is always on his racquet. The only thing
that can stop him is himself if he overplays and gets himself
hurt or exhausted.
He only needs about 15 matches on clay before RG to be ready.
I would not play Madrid if I were in his shoes.
Play Monte-Carlo the week of April 13-20.
Play Barcelona the following week - April 21-27.
Skip Madrid the week of May 4-11.
Play Rome the following week, May 12-18.
Rest a week and get to Roland Garros May 25th, fresh and ready
to win his 9th French Open and 14th slam overall to tie him with
the great Pete Sampras.
Before the clay season, he should limit his hard court play.
Play Indian Wells, singles only. Withdraw from Miami and get
back to Majorca and start practicing on the clay.
If he does all of the above, he can make it to each of the clay
finals, and probably win them all. Then he might have enough
gas to do better at Wimbledon. If he overplays before RG,
either on hard or clay, I think he is risks getting beaten at
RG.
Respectfully,

I have to get Rafa's personal email and send this information to
him.
It sounds perfectly well thought and logical.

masterclass,
How do odds work? What does Nadal's and Djokovic's odds mean? I
have never understood how odds work.

Lady TT, if you hear about someone being bet as even money, that
is 1-1 odds. It usually means they have a great chance of
winning compared to the rest of the field.
From a monetary point of view it means for every dollar (or
whatever currency), you put in, if your pick wins, you get your
dollar back plus another dollar. Bet a dollar get back a total
of 2 dollars. 2 to 1 or 2/1, means put in a dollar and you
get a total of 3 dollars back, your original dollar plus 2
dollars.
So in Rafa's case at 4/5 it means bet 5 dollars and get 9
dollars back, your 5 plus 4.
Djokovic - 19/10 - bet 10 and get 19 back plus your original 10
for a total of 29.
Stan - 25/1 - For every dollar you bet, you get back 25 plus
your dollar. So a $40 bet on Stan would return you $1000 plus
your original $40.
Now how do they decide what the odds are? Usually the bookies
or some authority determine the starting odds. But then as
money is bet, the odds change, reflecting the money bet per
contestant, as compared to the total pool.
In Thoroughbred Horse racing, the sport of kings, I recall the
great Secretariat going off at 1/10 odds, an overwhelming
favorite to win the Triple Crown at the Belmont Stakes, the
third and final leg of the Thoroughbred USA Triple Crown races.
He paid $2.20 for a 2 dollar bet to win in his thrilling record
breaking romp. Or if you had bet $10 you would get $11 dollars
back, 1 dollar plus your original 10.
Here is that race for your viewing pleasure. Set view settings
for HD.
I'll never forget the announcer exclaiming:
"He's moving like a tremendous machine..."
