It doesn't really affect Nadal at this point.
It means not having to potentially face Djokovic in the final.Quote:

On the other hand I had him down as a certainty for this title even before today. This just cements that. Federer played out of his skin to beat him last year but ultimately especially at 36 he isn’t at the level of a fully fit Nadal.
He has been getting the better of Djokovic recently anyway. Plus hardly a realistic expectation for Djokovic to make the final in his first real tournament for many months.
Dimitrov pushed Nadal to deep in the fifth last year and although he had a lot of troubles throughout the year, I think he has come through that and is far better for it having won the WTF.
Federer beat Nadal four times last year. it's Nadal that hasn't been on the level of a Federer really, at this point it's obvious his age is irrelevant.
Unless Nadal figures a way out to stop Federer hitting through his backhand, on this fast court I don't think he can win. Should they meet.
Granted I did say similar things during the US Open but whether it benefits Nadal or not is too early to say.
Er Edmund is up two sets and a break to one.
Me. :haha:
Edmund wins! :haha:
