Wow, good for him. Would love to see him compete for a spot back in the top 10.

Like I said before with 24 aces, 222km/h every single serve and consequently 50 winners is a little bit difficult for the opponent to survive and more after come back of an injury even playing more or less well. But it has been a good sign by Nadal, I'm sure that he is going to be ready for the AO. Meanwhile tomorrow Raonic will do not more than 15 aces and I bet that his serve won't work so well, strange things of the sport.

Good call Carol, the Canadian misfired today with his serve

Yep, that was clear like crystal. But again, that Rafa's loss has not affected to me at all, he played pretty well under certain circumstances and after to play several matches (not more excuses) I'm sure he got the rhythm already being ready for the revenge of the AO 2014

Revenge with who? Whose fault was he didn't win the AO 2014?

Nishikori should get this done if he does not get a bad day. He looked in form in the off season. I would love to see Grigor win another match but it will be difficult.

Found this funny too and not offense to Novak's fans but I don't see him winning anymore GS, why? let me keep to myself the different reasons why I think that way but I will say it in a close future
Can't wait until Carol decides to share her reasons for her predication about Novak not winning more slams. Considering she also predicted a roaring year for Nadal i 2015 and 2016 (according to her he needed to: a)tweak his serve; and b)tweak his attitude--and he was going to be back winning slams), I won't lose any sleep in the interim:lolz:

And here you are when Rafa loses. I hope he will win and then you will go with the wind :lolz:
Carol--My post had NOTHING TO DO with Rafa losing. It was about the absurdity of your predicting that Novak will win no more slams--with no backup--except "secret thoughts" that you will share at some point. My point is: your prediction track record (vis-a-vis Rafa) isn't great so I don't put much credibility in your predictions about Novak.

Talk to me when your dear Novak wins another GS and not because what he did today. Neither Muzz and nor Novak have played so well (the previous matches either) and I saw both of them before playing better than today but of course they wanted to kill each other and they tried to do whatever they could and someone had to win :nono

Ok, so you really think Murray is going to win all the slams from now on? Or who else? Go put some bets down at various bookies 'cos they'd probably laugh in your face and give you massive odds for Novak not to win another slam. He most definitely will win another slam.

Haha, hi Carol :p Seriously though, Novak proved today that he will win another slam. Those 2 were killing each other and it felt more like a slam final than a 250 final. I'd be absolutely amazed if Novak never won another slam.

Nah, when two players are not playing so well but they fight to the death then both look great but it's just an optical illusion and it's nothing to do with a futures results. AO will be a different story and we'll see later......
