It got better. He not only won it, but won it in style.

Outside of his hair, his claim to fame will continue to be upsetting Rafa at Wimbledon a few years ago! Took me back to old style of attack!

YEAR 2038

Rafa Nadal just has won RG

 

[shawnbm]

^ that post about Rafa makes me laugh out loud every time. I mean, he could win 15 of these!

 

[Front242]

That photo must have been made around 10 years ago cos he doesn't even have that much hair now in 2019 and very much doubt he gains a ton more hair 19 years later

Almagro is retiring and says: “No more tenis, my last match will be in my city Murcia

 

[shawnbm]

^ Watched many a quality match with Nicolas--a helluva competitor and one of the mightiest one-handed backhands in the game during his best years. He hung tough and made the top guys work hard. !Muchas bendiciones Nico!

I liked Almagro. While his backhand is well known, he also has a fairly decent serve. I think he reached QF or better at RG more than once. Unfortunately, he gets eventually bulldozed by the bull.

Players like Almagro & David Ferrer are only entertaining to me when going up against Djokovic playing "human backboards!" I've seen them playing well, getting to all kinds of shots, & making great "get," but in the end they still go down in flames in straight sets; mostly not even competitive! :whistle:

 

[GameSetAndMath]

I distinctly remember one RG in which Nico was playing tremendously and then faced Ralph in QF (I think) and lost very badly, while everybody kind of expected it to be a decent match (of course, nobody expected Nico to win).
