Moreover, the world number two, who never went to the semifinals in this tournament and that main objective is the Davis Cup final against the Czech Republic in early December, will have a certain morbid fascination with crossing Soderling, also in good shape and executioner at Roland Garros, with which it seems that it has a good relationship was tracks.

Finally, the last obstacle to the four-time champion at Roland Garros, also chooses to end up as world number one, for what they need above all to reach the final, will be the Russian Davydenko, a player as uncomfortable as irregular and already defeated him in the final match at the Shanghai Masters 1000.

Since Rafa Nadal lost the world No. 1 Roger Federer at the expense of the Balearic Islands has declared active and passive that his goal this season was to finish the year in the most dignified as possible, with the goals of the Masters Cup and all the Davis Cup final but did not pass through his head that returning to the Swiss address the global throne

Since Rafa Nadal lost the world No. 1 Roger Federer at the expense of the Balearic Islands has declared active and passive that his aim this season was to finish the year in the most dignified as possible, with the goals of the Masters Cup and especially the Davis Cup final but his head did not go back to what approach the Swiss world for the throne. However, the good results that have accompanied Nadal in recent days that they can return to speculate with the firm.

The latter will be the focus of all eyes for a dual purpose: victory in a tournament that has never won to date and secondly the possibility, albeit with carambola, reclaiming the world number 1 who lost the last 6 July after 46 weeks at the head of the ATP rankings.

At this time the difference between Roger Federer (10,150 points) and Rafael Nadal (9,205 points) is only 945 points. In the Masters Cup, every tennis player must play a minimum of three games, can add 200 points for each win, well, victory in the semifinals would add another 400 points and the end another 500 more. Making accounts for the Spanish forward the Swiss in the classification should occur as follows: - That Nadal win every game (1,500 points) and Federer will not win any games (0 points), only one (200 points) or just two (400 points). - Nadal wins the tournament but lost a game round robin (1,300 points) and Federer will not win any game (0 points) or only one (200 points). - Nadal only lost the final (1,000 points) and Federer will not win any games (0 points).

Sergio's father, Victor Garcia, as a caddy and teacher, the tennis player of his handicap down 9, but the method "very demanding," as Rafa, was a team effort. Was novel, punctuated only birdies to make each team. Nadal, who provided him with a birdie as natural (no extra point for the handicap) at the 11th hole, a short par 4 that has demonstrated a talent for any sport. Without an unremarkable game, down from about 80 beats in the hypothetical par 71.

Man, I have time," he joked. "But I'll settle well to arrive following (London 2012) in tennis.

Nadal defined as the best season of his life "until the knee injury and then I'm pretty happy with how things have gone for me because I came and I did very well. The end of Shanghai was a step higher. There is talk of whether I am or not at my level. At my level I am, because among other things I've never won a tournament at the end of the season, except the time that I won Madrid. My goal now is to score as many points as possible in Paris and London at the Masters and help win the Davis Cup. "
