CAMELOT FANTASIES

Oh, I understand you.  I never watch replays of matches Rafa has lost.  For example, I still haven't seen the 2009 RG match.

It is frustrating to see injuries derail his career again and again.  It happened in 2004 (he should have won his first title much earlier than he did), in late 2006 / early 2007, in 2009 of course.  2012, and now again.  The AO still hurts and always will really.

Sigh.  I guess he's used to it in a way and knows he can come back.

Let's hope he gets himself and his game in shape for the clay season.

Yeah, Chile is very prone to earthquakes.  The one in 2010 was 8.8, this one apparently 8.2.  The one from 1960 was 9.5 and maybe higher.  In all cases though the most damage was caused by the ensuing tsunamis rather than the earthquakes themselves.  FOr example in 2010 I don't think anyone died from the earthquake itself.  The incompetent government however, having conflicting info about a tsumani, decided not only not to issue a tsunami alert, but to tell the whole country that there was no danger of tsunami whatsoever.  They even told people who had evacuated on their own to go back to their houses, where many died when the waves came.
