three thoughts:

1. Nadal's confidence is very high ... but he hasn't had a reason to lose any. If Murray gets up early, Nadal's instincts are not tuned to grass; he may well react in a counterproductive way. Murray must get up early to have any shot

3. Nadal said the only time he was intimidated at the French was when he played Grosjean and (can't remember the other Frenchman). What will it be like playing Murray at Wimbledon, then?
.

Disagree I do with number 1. He has escaped quite a few tough matches on grass during these years (Soderling/Youzhny come to mind) and one cannot do that if he/she doesn't feel comfortable on the surface.

The other Frenchie was Mathieu

But even with the crowds....Rafa's tennis is better than Murrays and that's the bottom line.

The bottom line this is.

the Frenchies are much tougher crowds than the Brits....

Agree again I do. And good riddance that the Brits are more well behaved.
