ATP Barcelona Sabadell

How many of those finals he lost to Nole and how many to other players? And how many finals has Rafa won in the same period of time? It would be an interesting statistic.

I am sure majority of those losses were to nole.


by the way you need a cool nole sig for this place.

I cam make you one. it will be unique and innovative.


we need cool, colorful sigs at this forum to inject some life, color, character, and emotion into it.

OK samson, send me something, but don't make it too big and too worrior like yours, I am a gentle and emotional girl after all

 

[tented]

In all seriousness, apart from Djokovic and Federer, there is nobody with more than a snowball's chance in hell vs. Nadal on Clay, so we might as well give him bye rounds after bye rounds till he faces these two.

Correction: "... apart from Djokovic, there is nobody with more than a snowball's chance in hell vs. Nadal on clay ..."

As I told a member in a pm, since Djokovic isn't there, Rafa will take this.

 

[Billie]

I agree that Rafa is going to win tomorrow, Nico might win more games than Milos, that was my only point. You guys are not creating a thread for the final?

Thanks samson, very cool, now let's see if mods are going to say something about the size of sig or not

 

[ClayDeath]

looks amazing billie. great selection. I see you chose the "transparent" version.

of course the mods are not going to say anything.

they have been waiting for us to come along and inject some life, colours, emotions, anad character into the scheme of things.

forum without cools sigs or no sigs is essentially a dead forum. the world wants to know about the players you represent and support. sigs are also instant conversation makers.


all the guests and those just passing by simply don't care much about what we post here. what they care about the most is the players we support and represent. that is what they want to know first and foremost. our sigs speak for us 24 hours a day.


it just turns out that everybody knows that I represent vilas, muster, bruguera, kuerten, and nadal. so I show other stuff that matters to me so much in my sigs.

That stat is actually inaccurate. Nadal has lost 10 finals (not 13) since the end of 2010. Lost to Novak in 8 finals, to Murray in Tokyo 2011, and Zeballos this year.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Some start from Almagro. ...

 

[kskate2]

First blood to Nico up 2-0. Nadal already on his heels. Let's see how long it takes him to turn it around

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

That ball must weigh a ton right now with the rain pretty steady.

---

Almagro kicking ass and taking names...See how long he can keep it up.

 

[kskate2]

I'm sure it does. Bailout from Rafa in that last point w/ a terrible drop shot. He drops serve again, down 0-3

 

[Billie]

Great start from Almagro, but the question is if he can keep it up and when will Rafa wake up. Nico's one handed bh is really powerful. Oh, it's raining harder now?

 

[kskate2]

I think it's just spitting now Billie, but still horrendous conditions to play in

 

[britbox]

If Almagro wins this, I'll eat a raw magpie and post the video on Youtube. It won't happen.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

3-3. More like it. The problem is Almagro almost always stops fighting in these situations.

I watched one match on clay in weather like this (it was probably even colder when I watched it) and it is no fun for players or fans.

Rafa got both breaks back.

 

[kskate2]

As much as I would enjoy watching that video, Nico's lead has already evaporated 3-3

 

[Billie]

If Almagro wins this, I'll eat a raw magpie and post the video on Youtube. It won't happen.

Now I will be rooting for Nico.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

I was just thinking of something when the tv dudes said exactly the same thing. When Almagro kicked the mark of the serve, agreeing it was good...In the futures we used to do that and call it out...Those were the days

Nadal's defense is amazing.
