Key Points
- This tennis betting tip comes from the ATP Rome Masters and the match between Rafael Nadal and Feliciano
- Lopez.
- Rafael Nadal looked awful yesterday in Rome.
- He struggled past Paolo Lorenzi (#148) in 3 sets in 2 hours 40 minutes and was a very long way from his usual
- standard.
- It wasn't just the scoreline that was surprising but the fact that Nadal didn't seem to have any of his usual
- coordination. When the ball was high in the air for example he would almost lose track of it and not get into
- position correctly.
- My guess is that he is unwell and a bit drained after last week's efforts in Madrid.
- He's already said that he's sure of losing his number 1 ranking, but there's no chance of him giving up his
- French Open crown that easily.
- With the good performances of Djokovic lately Nadal will know that he needs to get into perfect shape for the
- tournament which starts in around 10 days from now.
- He might be thinking to himself that enough is enough. There's no point wasting too much more energy on the
- Rome Masters when this is not the event that really matters to him.
- Tomorrow he's up against his good friend Feliciano Lopez (#40) who's in the form of his life.
- Last week he nearly beat Federer (#3) in Madrid and this week had a great win against Kohlschreiber (#45) who
- is a very good claycourter.
- Lopez is physically in great shape at the moment and is likely to be feeling far better than Nadal going into this
- match.
- Last year at Queen's club Nadal was beaten by Lopez in the lead up to Wimbledon and I feel we are in for a
- similar situation tomorrow.
- If Lopez plays a great match I don't think Nadal will fight to the death to try to win.
- As I said he has bigger priorities and maybe he would rather lose now than later in the tournament against
- Federer or Djokovic.
- Lopez is a very good value bet here in my opinion.
- Bet with Blue Square as while they are not offering the best odds they will pay out if Nadal retires.
