WTH I was just tuning into watch the Madrid Masters and I saw Almagro and Giraldo battling it out in what I initially thought was a hard court.

The commentators gave it away saying it was the new blue clay court.

Is it just me or does it seem faster than the normal red dirt?

And WTF is wrong with Murray these days?

He's been losing to jobbers like Garcia-Lopez and Raonic

And when is Djokovic gonna stop sucking and get his 2011 god mode back?

Is Federer even back? haven't seen the old man in ages

The blue clay hurts my brain for some reason. It's not much brighter than your typical hard court but there's just something about it I'm not used to yet.

I could definitely get used to it. If Nadal loses.

I really like the way it looks but it's probably annoying for the players to get used to since it apparently plays quite differently than the courts in Rome an Paris.

Oh well, just another color for Nadal to DOMINATE.

Nadal is very open to everything.

Won't matter though, Birdman's shooting up as we speak!

Oh hey, I was looking at STATS and there's a lot of scenarios that would put Sharapova at #1 in the world after this week.

She likely loses it again next week unless she defends Rome, but still!

Djokovic was a djoke yesterday.

I predict a thrashing from Federer in the semis and Federer loses to Nadal in the final in 3 sets.

No, I think Nadal's ready to take the entire clay court season without dropping a set.

He only lost one set in 2010.

This year he's going for the perfect record.

Federer is already a beast in the Madrid Masters

He's already won it twice and the last time Fed/Nadal played. It was a very tight 3 sets.

I wouldn't be surprised if the old man even goes as far as beating Nadal here.

But we'll get a fair reading on his current level and how his back injury is faring against Raonic tonight.

What?

I don't think this is true.

Nadal beat Fed in the finals at Madrid in his undefeated 2010 clay season.

And the last Fed/Nadal meeting on the same court was last years in the semis. It was a tight 3 sets. The last set was especially tight from what I remember.

Sorry. After doing some research it seems Federer has won this very same Masters tournament a total of 5 times whereas Nadal has only won it twice.

2011 - Djokovic def. Nadal 7-5 6-4
2010 - Nadal def. Federer 6-4 7-6
2009 - Federer def. Nadal 6-4 6-4

Before 2009, the same Masters Series was held in Hamburg in the same style of clay court

2008 - Nadal def. Federer 7-5 6-7 6-3
2007 - Federer def. Nadal 2-6 6-2 6-0 [lol]
2006 - Robredo def. Stepanek 6-1 6-3 6-3
2005 - Federer def. Gasquet 6-3 7-5 7-6
2004 - Federer def. Coria 4-6 6-4 6-2 6-3
2003 - Coria def. Calleri 6-3 6-4 6-4
2002 - Federer def. Safin 6-1 6-3 6-4

Fed was terrible yesterday. I don't see him doing much good in this tournament with his current form. Lets just hope the ring rust goes away.

God damn that was hard to "watch."

I was teaching while this match was going on and I kept going back to my computer.

"Ok, Nadal's up 4-1 in the third. Nothing to see here."

Then came the tears.

Doesn't that depend on what happens in Rome? Nadal needs to win to gain any points though, so Federer probably will be #2.

Federer/Murray and Nadal/Djokovic would be amazing SFs at RG.
