3* Granollers -168 Lopez lacking sufficient match play and suffering through all kinds of injuries this season, will be in tough against his fellow Spanaird here. Granollers carrying the better form and should win the war of attrition if Lopez makes a match of it with his big serve but questionable fitness level.

clay season going all red wedding on my behind been extremely lazy with write ups
2-5 -4.22
(YTD 113-169 -17.48)
Remaining 3* Ferrer to win 3rd quarter -101
Monday 3* Nadal/Nishikori under 29.5 -106 2* Nishikori under 11 games -108 Birthday match for Rafa who has looked extremely underwhelming to say the least dropping 2 sets in the first week of a slam. However, it's now the important second week and I have a sneaking suspicion we'll see a big jump in play from the clay king before the mouth watering SF match up against Joker aka the real final. *knock on wood* What does Nishikori really offer here to trouble Nadal? He's not a heavy hitter like Brands or Klizan nor does he have the shot making variety of Fognini. His serve is still the weakest part of his game and unless he red lines with his DTL backhand all match I don't see how he'll keep this one close. He's not going to hit through Rafa and he's going against a player with superior consistency and patience in rallies meaning extra shots and errors from Nishikori. Has all the makings of a very one sided match.
2* Gasquet/Wawrinka over 40.5 -110 1* Gasquet +129 Wawrinka's odds look very suspicious here. For a guy with a 2013 clay resume including a title, two runner-ups including a Masters event, and wins over Almagro, Ferrer, Tsonga, and Berdych...his line is this low? Amazingly both players will be looking for their first ever QF appearance at the French which is hard to fathom given their talents on this surface. Think this has the makings of an absolute classic with Wawrinka having the far more aggressive style of play against Gasquet's perimeter defense. The Frenchman is quite capable of switching gears when his confidence is high and unleashing an awe inspiring shot making display and I believe we'll see that at some point today as he can't rely on his average defense against a player like Wawrinka. Both players can be head cases so there should be some wild swings of dominating play on both sides. I lean to Gasquet, shockingly enough with his documented fitness failures, if this match goes deep as I think Wawrinka's injury will be a factor and a constant worry for him late in the match.

Rarely does bleacherreport have anything worth reading.
Rafa's always been victim to big hitters. Nishikori just doesn't have the size, as he's barely 5'10", to really go for his shots all the time as his margin of error is much smaller in clearing the net and he lacks the power of someone like Brands or Gulbis. Nishikori is a patient counter puncher like Nadal but the Spaniard just happens to do everything that much better, especially on clay where Kei hasn't really had a lot of success.
