LOL, at least Rafa avoided the breadstick!
I have a hunch that Querrey might trouble Djokovic in their match and gift Rafa the #1 spot
nadal has simply done a terrible job of taking care of his serve.
Yep, his serve stats have been pretty bad in his 2 matches this week. Let's see what happens in the second set.
first set to fog. he takes it 6-2.
nadal lost his serve 3 times in that set. and this is on a fast court.
fog is playing well but nadal is not able to lift his game.
he is clearly worn out.
I really don't know what the hell he is doing in china. he had no business being at the china open.
Me too. Also, Basel? Why? Paris and WTF are plenty. Plus, he will play in some exhos...
Rafa is not moving well. I don't think he can turn this match around.
Yeah, he doesn't want to be on court right now. I sincerely hope he skips Shanghai.
this really is a big sign for him:
he can get injured again unless he goes home and rests.
he needs to go the hell home.
injuries come when you are worn out mentally and physically.
he is out of here.
I guess we should have expected this sooner or later. this is what happens when you are worn out andalso mentally spent from having won so many matches already.
the court is way too fast.
Well, he has always been worn out at the end of the season. He needs to rest. This has been an outstanding year so far, no point of getting injured playing in meaningless tournaments on hard.
LOL, now he decides to start playing. Unfreakingbelievable!
but that missed forehand is going to cost him.
I think I am going to hit the sack mr tee.
good to see you. I will be around tomorrow evening.
I need to get up early tomorrow so I better grab some sleep.
post away and have fun mate. its our forum now.
Good night, CD! Talk to you later!
