^ Who runs like a MF? A Male Ferret, of course. Everyone knows that.

Have a guess, AP.

Rafa and his team needs to use this tape of that horrific display of hitting by Rafa as a non blueprint of Not how to play against Djoker, I can't believe how atrocious and short Rafa was hitting in that clip. :nono That's was a pure nightmare

It was worse against Soderling at RG 2009 and most of the tour this year.

Front , I observed a WTA match in Cincinnati between Halep and Petrovic where these two ladies consistently deep in court ( about three feet or less from the baseline) which I haven't seen from Rafa in quite some time.IMO

This year they are televising 11 courts, compared to 7 TV courts before.

Also, in the show courts, they are using three different cameras, one from general perspective and two more from each of the players perspective.

Surely, both are great improvements.

Overheard from yesterday:

"So you think Paire has a chance against Nishikori tomorrow?"

"When pigs fly!"

Day 2 was a good day for the seeds! Only #11 Simon bites the dust!
