Title: Nadal v Moya
Description: Thoughts/ Predictions?

I have to say that this match has me completely intrigued!!
After all, Carlos did beat Rafa early on in Nasdaq, with a couple of breadsticks to boot (and how often is Rafa breadsticked twice in a best of 3 match??).
However, with this match on clay, and Rafa having put together an amazing winning streak on the red stuff, he must be confident of winning.
And then, to spice things up further, Carlos has already spoken of his belief that he can win this one.
Given that this tournament has already brought up a few surprises, I wouldn't rule out a Carlos win here.. Could he take Rafa out early in a tournament again??
I'd go for a 3-setter, but possibly Rafa will edge it..
Hopefully it will be a cracker, one way or the other.
What do you think?

Yeah..
It will be a great match. I think Federer will be watching this match closely to see the tactics of Moya against Nadal...
My bet is on Nadal..

It's the second match on centre court. First match (Henman v di Mauro) begins 12noon UK time - so Nadal v Moya will be somewhere between 1.30 and 2.30.
Ken001 - May 9, 2006 02:00 PM (GMT)
Nadal 4-1 up, with a double break.

Moya is up an early break in the second set.
Nick Havoc - May 9, 2006 02:34 PM (GMT)
Now a double break up at 4-1!! This is quite a turn-around from the first set.
