Oh Good Lord! ... have things come to this?? Do I now have to use big head racquets to beat Rafa, Nole, Andy? I remember the days when I used to beat them with 'tiny' racquets. Sometimes, just my quiet and yet long look was enough. And there were times when I'd tell them "you f***ing stopped' and they'd lose sets! Ahhhh I can't deal with this anymore...na na..
here is the big question sports fans:
are the big 4 back in business? I think they are back in business but what is your own take? they have 34 of the last 35 slams.
will they take everything this year?
and what about nole? he is not going to have it any easier at RG and andy is going to be back in business on grass at Wimbledon.
in fact I am predicting another Wimbledon crown for andy this year. I think he is making steady progress.
he could be back stronger than ever at Wimbledon.
what happens with nole now? will this loss shape his year or will he quickly overcome it? he is part of the big 4 so he is going to get his share of the wins but is it possible for him to be shut out of the slam picture this year? especially with roger and andy being right back in business again.

It's going to be interesting to say the least.
If Rafa doesn't get it together it's going to be the Big 3!
Federer has made himself a contender again.
Murray still needs to get match tough. I think you're right and that he'll be ready by Wimbledon.
Rafa is playing like @$$.
And Nole is (like Elvis) all shook up.
But even with all of these changes it's hard to see them not being the Big 4.
Rafa played like crap against Dmitrov's best and still scraped through.
Andy just grabbed the 4th set.
Yay!
andy gave it all he had. it was just not meant to be this time around.
he will keep gaining traction on the tour. its good to see him back in business.
does anybody know about andy's next tournament?
is he going to Rotterdam?

I have good news. Christti sent me an e-mail.
she is fro tennis warehouse. she said she will be stopping by when the time permits.
she is a great person and a great poster.
here is the schedule for Rafa in the coming days and months:
Besides the Grand Slams, this is what Team Nadal has confirmed so far:
Buenos Aires, Argentina - February 8 16
Rio Open, Brazil - February 15 23
Indian Wells March 3 -16
Sony Open, Miami - March 17 30
Barcelona Open - April 21 28
French Open - May 25 Jun 8
Halle June 7 June 15
Wimbledon - June 23 July 6
US Open - August 25 September 8
I think he would be wise to skip Miami Masters. its the hard courts where most of his injuries happen.
he could re-injure his back if he does not back off the hard courts just a little bit.
also his next tournament is now just days away in argentina. I don't think he is going to be able to make that one.
It's about time! LOL.
She is a great poster.
