For my prices you'd need to join the ATP forum, but it wouldn't be giving much away to say I rate Nadal the short priced favourite.
Below is part of my post for members, just to give you an idea on what sort of info I provide - of course there are also my prices and occassionally recommended bets.
A mouth watering match up with so much at stake:
1) Winner of the match will be World Number 2 - can Nadal retain that spot or will Djokovic snatch it?
2) If Nadal wins surely the title's his as well - Federer now having that "can't beat Nadal on dirt" bogey. If Djokovic wins does it open the door for Federer to finally put a French Open trophy alongside his 3 Aussie Open, 4 US Open and 5 Wimbledon Trophies?
Nadal holds an impressive 7-3 H2H record over Djokovic 4-0 on dirt those matches being:
7/6/2006 - French Open Quarter Final - 64,64 ret.
11/5/2007 - Rome Quarter Final - 62,63
8/6/2007 - French Open Semi Final - 75,64,62
17/5/2008 - Hamburg Semi Final - 75,26,62
Is Djokovic getting closer to a win?
Since 2005 Nadal has an amazing 127 win 4 loss record on dirt - losses being to Ferrero in Rome earlier this season (when he was hampered with foot blisters received in winning Barcelona the week before), Federer in the Hamburg Final last year (where he was exhausted by winning Rome, Barcelona and Monte Carlo in the lead ups), Andreev in Valencia back in 2005 and Gaudio in Buenos Aires in the early clay South American swing of 05.
Cheers
