and oops -- andy botched THAT set point wide -- seems like HE got too excited on that shot or over-energized bunny. lol.
for some reason -- i find this match CUTE. why is that? some-one - honestly give me your take -- as i can't put my thumb on why i have that impression...lol
hehe -- well said - MARY .
REMEMBER THE 'EPIC" that that win by rafa -- for his first wimbledon - in the way it built up for 3 years?
FIRST - his FIRST year ON GRASS - he was just a 'challenger' that was defined by most as ''he will never win wimbledon -- "
to 'he will never get PAST the FIRST WEEK".
then he reached FINALS...but was sort of outclassed by roger..
the SECOND TRY -- ''he will never get past the first week -- it was a FLUKE last year -- " and he got to finals but lost a TIGHT 5 SETTER -- WHERE the MISSING LINK WAS a BIG first serve ...
THE thrirde and successful try --
roger himself even quipped "i'd be surprised if he mde it to the second week" kind of putdown...
and THIS TIME RAFA worked on his SERVE to complete the '''transformation" -- (volleyes had already improved so much they already were in some part BETTER than roger's in the PREVIOUS year) ..
AND won THAT one.
remmeber that sequence over the years..? that was so funny in its own way.
It was a great Wimbledon and Rafa was a joy.
We here always slip into this thinking that players can't play on grass but in fact most do pretty well. The one who really struggled was Ivan! Odd that he is again with Murray.
Just off to check how that is going....
