the title is rafa's......the last time he played he should have won it but had a mental hurdle......this time it's going to 4 sets at max in the final even if it is nole on the other side.......hardcourter nadal is pretty much unbeatable at best of 5 on hardcourts.......so he's my favourite for the title.......
welcome back general shanks.
he has some extra motivation. I think that loss at the O2 arena is going to be the kicker. he will be thinking about it as he starts his preparations soon.
he was playing at 60% capacity in AO 2012, the backhand was still not there.......he will play close to 80% next year like at the us open recently.......i am giving zero chance to djokovic and others.......rafa 3.0 is basically unbeatable at best of 5 on hardcourts.......
