So clay season is officially upon us as we start with Monte Carlo next week. Can't say I am really looking forward to it. I am primarily a Murray fan and clay is not Andy's forte. On top of that, I never really liked this surface and I am sure my mind is not going to change any time soon. So given all that, I do find this season quite boring. However there are still a few things to look forward to. For a start, I'd like to see how Nole is going to fare and if he's going to make any true difference come RG. I don't care about the Masters since he's beaten Nadal there a few times. It's still RG where he'll need to man up. He came really awfully close last time. Will he convert this time? The only thing he's lacking is the mental game against Nadal at RG. Other than that, I'd like to see how some of my other favourite players fare in this season. It's going to be interesting to see if anyone in particular is going to rise and shine out of nowhere. Chances are slim but I am always hopeful.
