Congratulations to Spartan Stanimal Wawrinka, his team, his family, and his fans! Well done.
Commiserations to the current #2 Swiss, Roger Federer, his team and supporters. It was a good tournament for him, entering as a wildcard at the last minute, and a final result against a good friend and compatriot.
This win should keep Stan's confidence at a high level for awhile.
It will be interesting to see what happens the rest of the clay season.
Rafael Nadal needs to get back in the thick of things. Hard work and health is needed, and a title wouldn't hurt.
Novak Djokovic needs to get healthy. Status is unknown at the moment. We don't know how long he'll be out with that right wrist problem.
I'm sure General Hercules can tell you from experience that wrist injuries are tough to recover from in tennis.
Look at poor Juan Martin del Potro.
Respectfully,
masterclass
Stan's win was a shock! i guess he really does believe in himself now. Wow, the wonders of a tattoo, LOL! I didn't even watch the match thinking it was a write-in,plus I was too busy.
I also didn't want Fed and Nole, because I went to Columbus to see the Michael Jackson, Immortal Tour. Needless to say I was wiped out today and still had a paper to do.
So what happened to Novak's wrist. I haven't even checked the internet yet. I just submitted my paper with minutes to spare.
