Hello Ladies and Gentleman,
I'm new here and looking forward to a great tennis environment. I'm a girl. Thought I'd get that out of the way, since due to my posting style, people always think I'm a dude
.
I'm a Rafa fan, but like a lot of other players. Problem with that is they don't win a lot, so not much to talk about with them.
Must say Shanghai got pretty brutal towards the end, but I always look for the good in a situation.
Yeah Rafa lost, but del Potro was on fire.
Still, I always enjoy a loss or two before the big one, AO 2014. Usually that just makes Rafa sharper. Hoping it happens again.
Welcome 
I am a big fan of Rafa myself. I am kinda relieved that he lost to Delpo, Nole would have killed him at the Final.
On to Basel - Roger's den 
Speaking of Basel, Rogers backyard as in, is this his first time there? For some reason I don't remember Rafa being in Basel at all or I must have blocked it out. In any case, the crowd wouldn't be pretty there against especially against Roger but the appearance fee must be HUGE.
