What's Next For Nadal?

Rafael Nadal back in action of Clay courts about a month ago.  He showed a strength there again.  Although he participated in three Atp events which were not big tournaments but he won two of those three tournaments, which gave him a  lot of confidence.  He won two clay title Brazil open(250 event) and Acaulpo open(500 event).  In the Acaulpo open he defeated the defending champion and clay court specialist David Ferrer by 6-0 6-2, which shows that he is again the man to beat on clay.  So this year's clay courts season again seems to belong the "King of Clay" Rafael Nadal.
Next tournament is first masters 1000 event of 2013 season.  In which there is a doubt either he will participate or not.  The probability is that he will skip this tournament and will keep his focus on clay court events.  His main focus is the coming clay court events i-e Monte Carlo, Madrid, Barcelona, Rome and French Open.  Clay court season is always remain a safe heaven for nadal. Last year he won all clay court events except Madrid which was held on blue clay(if it was held on red Nadal surely won it). He won French open and became the first man in the history of Tennis to win French open seven times. This shows he is unbeatable.
Nadal ranking has been fallen to 5th.  Therefore the draws of coming events will be very interesting because he is not the one of top four. Each top four man would pray to avoid him in the quarters.  So this time Nadal's ultimate focus is the eighth French Open title.
