With 40 consecutive wins now under his belt at Monte-Carlo, Rafa has to win just two more to claim his eight title. Can he do it?
Rafael Nadal has played Gilles Simon five times, with a 4-1 winning record. Despite the lead in the head to head however, Simon is one of those players Rafa has always had to work hard to beat, and with the Frenchman in very solid form, it will be interesting to see how this first meeting ever on clay unwinds…

UPDATE: Nadal will play Jo-Wilfred Tsonga in the Sony Ericsson quarterfinals
Rafael Nadal has found Jo-Wilfred Tsonga to be a tough opponent in the past, and has lost to him three times from the nine times they have previously met. That includes two of their last three encounters.
Rafa is clearly suffering from a sore knee – he commented after yesterday’s match that it had been bothering him since before Indian Wells, but that it had got worse – and Tsonga is the worst possible player to come up again when you are a touch short of perfect health. Here’s hoping he can see it through this week and recover in the two weeks before Montecarlo.

Rafael Nadal vs Radek Stepanek, Sunday, second match of afternoon, probably after 4pm (8pm GMT)
UPDATE – Result: Roger Federer beat Rafael Nadal 6-3, 6-4
Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer have played 27 times now before, with Rafa leading 18-9. On hard courts however, the head to head is in the balance, with each having won five times in the past
Interesting to see also that whereas Nadal was a fantastic starter in his ATP, Masters and Major careers, piling up the titles from a young age, Fed has been a more consistent performer over the years, and if you compare the two by age, they are now at Nadal’s current age quite similar in terms of age. Yes, Roger is “catching up”!

UPDATE: Match over, the Canadian pair of Vasek Pospisil and Milos Raonic upset Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic by 5-7, 6-3, 10-8.
It is not often that I care too much about doubles matches, but this is a unique opportunity to see the world top two players in this format.
I think it will be a good opportunity to gauge Rafa’s form- after the long layover since Wimbledon it will be interesting to see how he copes with the hard surface and to see his serving and volleying level. Not to mention Nole’s form too as a potential semifinal opponent.

Roger Federer had a right royal battle on his hands in the first round, but managed to come back from the death to win in 5 sets.
How will he fair against world No. 152 Ilija Bozoljac? They have never played before, in theory though it should be a pushover for Roger… will the real Fed please step up?

Rafael Nadal will be hoping that his first match goes smoother than Roger Federer’s five set win over Falla.
Certainly, Nishikori should be easy pickings for the Spaniard, but sport (think World Cup Football) does not always follow the script of favourites and the young Japanese star will be gunning for an upset.
Still, I pick Rafa in three.
