I'm gonna have to disagree with playing Rafa on the handicap. He's been struggling with the wind at Indian Wells and the only time these two met on hard-courts Rafa won in two tiebreak sets. That's not to say that I like Ancic on the handicap any better, because I really can't find a good angle to play on this match at all. Witness Rafa's description of things after his last match (also in the morning)

Q. It looked like conditions were pretty difficult out there.
RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, difficult ones today. It was, well, in the beginning -- well, today when I went to practice in the morning was perfect conditions, no? I feel really well practicing.
And when I went on court, the weather completely changed, so it was difficult to adapt. But, you know, I start the match playing well.
Later, when I playing in favor of the wind, it was very difficult for me with the backhand, because I feel it if I only touch the ball, the ball was out, went too much.
But it was a good start with the conditions for me. Very happy.

That leaves the two later soccer matches on the table, and of the two I like the Over better. Soccer sides have been a real pain to me lately, but the totals seem to be more predictable. I would understand if we went with Portsmouth though because it's gonna be on the boob tube.

My vote: Atletico Madrid/Osasuna OVER 2.5 -105
