Andy can beat nole on clay in a best of 5 set battle. I am sure of it.
there would have been a chance for a Rafa vs Andy final had Andy been in nole's 1/2.
Anyway let's get ready for 2 fascinating slams Emma.
lots of history at stake.
My friend with whom I went out last night told me that she had recently dumped her new boyfriend because he's on steroids. He's a personal trainer and bulky looking (obviously). My friend didn't know this when she had first started going out with him but once she found out, she couldn't put up with it anymore. The guy has lost most of his hair so he now shaves the rest off to keep it bald. He's only 30. That's one of the side effects for taking steroids I was informed. I am not sure if he has any behavioral ones but then again I forgot to ask my friend. It has to have some sort of mental side effects too I am thinking since this has been going on for a few years now.

Nole's path isn't easy, really. He's got both Nishi and Raonic and I find both very dangerous at this point. It's way too early to say if Andy was going to make the semi if he was on the other half, you know. Too many ifs and buts IMO.
Let's just watch and see what happens.
We have 3 Slams remaining which is excellent since this means a few many things to unfold before our very eyes. Of course RG and Wimbledon are almost back to back.
Thanks Emma yes at least some hope now to see Andy on Monday because not playing tomorrow. Only a few matches leftover from Nole half for Monday so im hoping whole of Andy/Rafa half also play Monday.Even if it does rain I will look to make the most of it. Musnt complain.

by the way your amazing super sig is not showing for some reason.
and anikh's super sig is not showing as well.
I wonder if it is just a temporary condition. my super sig is showing on my screen anyway.
Oh did not know on super sig situation Clay. Ok Clay and Emma this will be my last message before heading for Paris. Take care both of you and I hope to be on this forum at some point from the hotel in Paris through the wi fi.
now the sigs are working again anikh.
I hope you have a blast in paris. see you soon.

Hola Anikh, I hope you have wifi and get to read this. Your luck may have run a out a bit here as Andy has specifically asked for a Tuesday start. I think Andy wants the courts to be played a bit more and also perhaps wants to get into the total mood of RG before he starts his match. Two whole days of tennis before he starts should give him that. Though with the rain looming so much this week, not sure how the whole scheduling thing will work out in the end. But I am sure Andy's well aware of that as well.
Anyway, I hope you can still catch Andy practicing and watch some actual tennis of your other favourite players, if any.

It's by Nials again. Les Muzzerables - that's a pretty good name! He should probably remove Del Potro's name though since he's not there in Paris.
I've got another one by Nails. Not as detailed though as the first one but still good. I like the tennis ball as the symbol of moon up in the sky.

I haven't experienced anything otherwise, herc darling. Maybe your phone or the computer that you used at that time wasn't downloading sigs properly? Though I must admit, I hadn't been online much last week as I needed to concentrate on something really hard throughout that week. So that kept me away from forums most of the time.
I couldn't locate any live French coverage on our TV schedules today. They've started at noon but with taped delay coverage. Right now they are showing Serena vs Lim. This match was done and dusted a long time ago. Well, anyway, whatever.
Federer backing Nadal while taking a shot at Nole. I do find his comments quite uncalled for and utterly disrespectful but nothing new from Federer. I can see why though he'd back Nadal and tip him as the favourite over Nole. He's unable to stand the fact that Nole is beating Nadal on clay while all this time he couldn't it. And if Noel goes on to beat Nadal at RG then perhaps that would make Federer look even weaker on clay. The intention behind what he says is pretty clear to me. Some things never change, really. We haven't seen a truly gracious champion in a long time now. Andy's right up there but he's not yet as successful but hopefully that will change soon.
