This betting tip comes from the Monte Carlo finals, between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. Djokovic survived yet another tough challenge from Tomas Berdych yesterday, after losing first set, but eventually putting himself together to get through to the finals in three sets. He did not look in his best shape, specially in the first part of the match, given the windy conditions.
Nadal on the other hand beat an in-form Simon in a much more spectacular match, in two sets, 6-3 6-4, no surprise from the man holding seven consecutive titles here in Monte Carlo. On clay, Nadal leads Djokovic 8-2, with only the last two meetings won by the serb. Todays prediction is not in the category of banker bets. I am choosing it because this is one of those matches were history is being made. Nadal has the chance to win his 8th title here. While at such high level an outcome is hard to predict, I fancy Nadal as the clay master and more composed in his game this week than Djokovic.
Prediction: Rafael Nadal vs Novak Djokovic: Rafael Nadal -1.5 @1.83 - bet365
