Anikh, Acapulco was on clay and Nadal even won that title just last year on clay. However, they changed it this year to hard. I would have actually liked it on clay as crazy as it sounds, but since hard is more of a natural surface for Andy, I think he should continue to play on hard. Besides, next month we have two Masters on hard courts (IW and Miami) so this will give him some more match practice if anything. Not sure what to expect from him though. Will just watch him carefully. I do feel he lacks motivation a bit too (on top of lack of match practice) after that huge victory at Wimbledon.
