    It may be the other way around. Nadal could wrest both FO (given)
    & Wimbledon to go 2 up. It could be close to 2008 for Nadal (replacing AO by USO would be tough though). Amazing to see how there is literally no competition for Nadal (barring Soderling). With the form they gained by last year end, I thought Murray, Davydenko & DelP should have a very good chance in dirt season. Now we could appreciate the consistency of both Roger & Rafa (if not for his knee problem) more than ever.

    Del Petro would have been bigger threat to nadal than Federer because of the match up on clay. Unfortunately del petro won't defend his us Open. He is out until after us open.

    I know. Thats what I meant, literally guys who gained immense form during last year end & early this year in the likes of DelP, DavyD & Murray all are not in the picture (either due to injury in case of the former two & lack of confidence in the case of later). These 3 could have posed a big challenge for both Nadal & Roger at this time. It looks like a comfortable ride for Nadal atleast (Ohm Soderlingaaya namahaa). In the case of Roger, he is a different animal when it comes to 5 setter tournaments (aka GS).

    Nadal lost to Soderling last year french open as his knee injury aggravated...

    but Nadal has to go past Lyeton Hewitt (last 16 I guess) as he is a good clay court player...but it will be a cakewalk for Nadal....

    Not sure. Roger is Rafa's greatest threat and even he hasnt been good enough against Nadal. I think Nadal's injury beat him as much as Soderling last year.

    To be frank, I thought that the injury was inevitable given Nadal's gruelling game and that he will never be the same force again after injury but looks like he has come back stronger than before. I wont be surprised if he goes on from here to dislodge Federer from every record that Fed holds.
