Surprised no one has made a post about this...Rafael Nadal will face Novak Djokovic in Monte Carlo 2moro morning. As of right now, I'm seeing Djokovic (-250) and Nadal (+200).
Novak Djokovic is without a doubt the best player in tennis right now and Rafa still hasn't looked like himself this year. But even knowing that, Nadal +200 is just something I can't let go of.
This is the first time Nadal has been an underdog on clay SINCE 2006! He was an underdog to Federer at this very same Monte Carlo tournament, 9 years ago. He has won his previous 4 clay court matches as an underdog. Nadal has won this particular tournament EIGHT TIMES!
Djokovic has just been playing out of his mind recently, but I feel like I'd almost be willing to take Nadal +200 on clay if he had a broken leg. If Djokovic goes out there and dominates Nadal 6-1,6-2 2moro I can live with that...but give me the greatest clay-courter of all time at + money any day of the week (even if that makes me a sucker).
