nole posted on his facebook page that he is "all set to win the French open":

It's no secret that I'm all set to win ROLAND-GARROS, but how about my new sponsor Peugeot !! They made me start clay court preparations a bit sooner than i planned haha, better safe than sorry! Fingers crossed it works
Nije tajna da sam potpuno fokusiran na osvajanje RGa ove godine, ali tek moj novi sponzor!!! Haha, zbog njih sam mnogo ranije nego planirano otpoceo pripreme za sljaku sto je sigurno, sigurno je
So how does Nadal fans feel about this? I am sure Nole is serious but do you feel he's there to make this extra step that I really think he should have done it at least 2 years ago? But sadly when it comes to RG, he's still mentally fragile against Nadal. So saying is definitely one thing but doing it quite another. It will have to be a quantum leap for him to finally make it but of course things can open up for him otherwise too if someone takes, say, Nadal out.
nole has some work to do emma. first lets see how well he does on clay this year. he has monte carlo to defend.
his loss at the Australian Open was a huge setback for him. he has to try to overcome that. he was the very heavy favorite for the title with the way he finished up 2013. he had won 27-28 matches in a row.
so he has to do well on the hard court events coming up and then he has to try to gather some momentum on clay.
he can only meet nadal in the final at RG. nadal has never lost a RG final so that is not going to be easy for anybody.
I am pretty sure that nadal will get going on the red clay sooner or later. he will eventually hit his stride on clay.
right now I cant see anybody beating nadal in the final at RG.
