I'm hoping for a straight sets Rafa win to avoid the forum being fried again!

Nadal's draw looks awesome after Rosol. Not a high profile opponent in Round 3. And Round 4 Nadal loves playing Gasquet/Monfils. And his QF and SF are about as comfortable as a perfect dream. Nadal loves playing Raonic, 5-0 head2head with the loss of only 1 set (and only 1 match was on clay). And Federer would be a dream come true for Nadal in all kinds of ways.

"Rosol lost in the next round at Wimbledon and since that day two years ago he has won just three more matches at the majors."

Yes Im sure you would ic...and so would he

Considering Rosol doesn't win often and considering Paire is a decent player we are lucky Rosol made himself available for this here Nadal blockbuster.

Nadal in 3 easy sets today. Rosol played the match of his life two years ago and won't be able to repeat it. If he does play at the same level again he will win, as there is nothing Nadal can do to stop him. However, the reality is that he will spray errors all over the place. Nadal to win 63 62 62.

I agree Born Slippy. Nadal to win in three sets - perhaps 6-3 6-2 6-1. Lightening does not strike twice in the same place.

But even if Rosol plays better than 2012, Nadal can stop him, for 2 reasons:
1) In 2012 Nadal won the 4th set 6-2, and Nadal's momentum was stopped by a 30 minute delay as the roof was closed (and air conditioning). It is quite possible that Nadal would have smoked Rosol in the 5th set if momentum was not interrupted.
2) Uncle Toni said-
"I think Rafa is better now than he was in 2012."
"It's a different Rafa Nadal than two years ago,"
"A better Rafa Nadal. In 2012, he had many problems when he arrived at Wimbledon."
"Rafa struggled in every practice, he couldn't go down on his knees, which is important on grass, and his mentality was not good enough for that reason."
"But now he has good movement and not much pain. He is the number one in the world and that should give him some confidence. "
