Darn, that is coming up soon. This year is flying by. I still
haven't done my taxes. I guess that has to moved up to the top
of my to-do list.

General Hercules, Lady TT, I bumped the Rafael Nadal: Clay
Warrior's Hunt for 50 Clay Titles and 16 majors thread at MTF.
He's got 43 clay titles now, just 3 short of Vilas' record. I
might have to bump that 50 title target to 60 if he keeps
winning at this rate. :)
But I think I'll wait till he hits 50.
Respectfully,
masterclass

swing by and take a look at it.
I have not been to MTF in ages.

Roll on the clay. ;D
Improvement is needed though against Novak. He is a really bad
matchup for Nadal in almost the same vein as Nadal is to
Federer.

well nadal can beat him Hoshi but it is fairly clear to me that
a number of things have affected his game:
his back issues have kept him from training as hard as he needs
to so that is one of them.
2nd one is lack of some focus but that is probably of all the
back issues.
he is out doing too many things. he took a trip to Oregon after
Indian Wells. he was in a Poker tournament in Miami. and then
there is golf and all those press interviews.
he just has too much going on but not enough tennis practice.
his game is visibly suffering.
I am worried about his fitness. those who were at this match
yesterday said he looked slow and somewhat worn out. I am not
sure about all that but it is easy to see that his fitness has
taken a hit.

Rafa mentioned in his presser that he will travel to Mallorca on
Thursday. So, he will have a couple of days to relax with his
family (he mentioned his little cousins) and then start
preparing for the clay court season. That gives him about a week
of practice.
I think he will have enough time to play himself into form.
Monte Carlo is crucial for his confidence, though. Last year he
lost the Final to Nole and that did not seem to affect the rest
of his clay season. But the circumstances were different then.
He had just won Indian Wells and had about a month long break to
recuperate, rest, and prepare for the clay.
This year he only has a week. The loss to Nole in Miami is
probably still on his mind. Also, he might be still a little
cautious about his back problems and not go out and serve/play
at 100%.
I have seen Rafa battle through much tougher times so I am
confident he will bounce back again. Can't wait for Monte Carlo
:)

I've never been to MTF. Heard a lot of bad things about it, so
never joined. Saw a few posts and was like, no way. As bad as
TW, that cesspool.
