NADAL-ROBREDO

This may surprise some of you, having sided with several outsiders to take a set recently, going to switch sides and take the world number 2, to win in double quick time.

Rafa leads the h2h 3-0, 7-0 in sets and 42-20 in games. In their meeting in Madrid last year, which many players have observed to be the closest surface to Shanghai, Robredo held just one break point against Nadal.

He seemed to run out of steam against Davydenko and glued to the baseline, or rather two metres behind it, he doesn't match up well with today's opponent, as he plays to Nadal's strengths.

Expect a reasonably quick win and the dream of the 6th meeting of the year, most peoples nightmare, with Federer still alive.

4 points Nadal to win 2-0 sets 1.73 betfair.

Good Luck.
