I think Miami was the only Masters where the winner was the best of five but not 100% sure.
Seriously can not see anybody else as a winner than Nadal. Berdych is the only one who can beat Nadal on clay imo and he is in a different part of the draw so he should go to the final and if he could go to the final somebody should make Federer to go home, can you do that Nicolas?...please or maby Gasquet can win Federer, it has been some time he last time beated Federer and then of course Berdych should play well in his all matches what has been impossible so far at this season and of course he should firstly beat Nieminen and after that Montanes, no choking and hard match after those against Ljubicic so Berdych should do his very best to go to the final and some luck too because his gamestyle is no match for Federer.
Or can Canas do something for Nadal?...hardly, somekind of injury for Nadal and that is it or maby Moya has the game to beat Nadal he should propably win Djokovic at first and maby he can do that because of Djokovic's healthproblems of last week, yeah what problems, he won the whole tournament but I bet he would so much to play against Nadal...Nadal would kick his ass this time.
After all this is the best court of big clay tournaments for Nadal's opponents to beat him

Ferrero retired his match two weeks ago but not believing it has any effects to the odds. Ferrero has 14-4 record here but after 2003 he has only two games a loss against Mathieu in straight sets and now he beated Hrbaty. Starace seems to be in form now, record from Rome 3-4, 2005 he beated Moya here. Starace might know this court better and he is playing in front of the home crowd which desires win. There should be some spaniards too. Obviously Ferrero knows how to play against Starace but their two last meetings has been three setters and this is how I will try to scare you: Starace's is in his last 15 match all on clay 13-2 (including one challenger) and only losses against Almagro and Nadal. No much hard opponents, the worst opponents were Chela, Verdasco, Hernandez, Bolelli and now Calleri. I think if Ferrero is able to give better play than he usually gives he should be favourite, at maximum something like -120 but if he is not able to do that this will be totally different match. Starace has all the momentum on his side.
