Now that Rafael Nadal is not in the top 8 in the rankings, I'm sure everyone else in the draw, especially the top 4, are waiting in bated breath, on which side of the draw that he falls. Even though Nadal has not been playing at a very high level, things could be different on the exact day that he meets a top opponent in his side of the draw.
In the last French Open, it was Novak Djokovic who had to neutralize Nadal at an earlier round of the grand slam. This time around, it's going to be Murray's turn. David Ferrer is also on Nadal's side of the draw, but David is not really known to be a grass court specialist. It would be a great match-up if Nadal does face Murray in the quarterfinals. However, this time around, even with the lopsided head to head, Murray should win this time.
The other dark horse could be Ukrainian Alexandr Dolgopolov.
