Even with erupting appendicitis, he makes the very toughest first round match seem simple...

Lets not get too carried away with this win no? it was against one of my fellow countryman Bols,who has had a lot of time off the tour with injury,also he started back playing challengers.
In saying that carry on Rafa and his now famous appendix.Remember it was Rafa's decision to play Basel,so that means to me he is fit enough to play.I have always believed that any player,even with a injury cloud over them,still decides to play,they are deemed fit enough to play on court

Nadal was just quoted as saying this is the most dangerous first round match he's every played, and that he hasn't been able to practice much: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/scared-nadal-braced-dangerous-basel-bow-183410300--ten.html?soc_src=copy

Against some players practice isn't even necessary.

He is a master of playing mind games....

Carry on Rafa.....you havent changed since I began watching you in 2004

You used one of the new smilies. :clap

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hmm makes note to myself to use one of the new smiles,I cant stand the fact that my good buddy Kieran used that before me
BTW my excuse is I am much older than Kieran,I need to sharpen up my reflexes

Bolleli is a nominee for the "comeback player" of the year award. After seeing his match against
Rafa, I am sure he would not be voted in for the award by the players.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Tignor is learning well. These days he has learnt to write a full preview of tournaments without jinxing anyone. Based on precedence here, this would mean Fed and Ferru will win Basel and Valencia respectively.

Also, Steve has proved that he is no better than Pete in arithmetic. Steve says Berdych is
400 points ahead of Murray in race whereas in reality, it is just 220.

DYjr won his match over Carlos Berlocq .. Nice win to snap his 3 match loosing streak

3 match losing streak is nothing for DY. Once he came very close to beating the record
on losing streak, but did not quite manage to set that record as well. What a loser? :snigger

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

Federer plays 1st rd match Wednesday..AFTER Rafa plays his 2nd rd match. lolwut.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

raonic beats steve Johnson 7-6, 6-4.

Yeah, as far as I recall he was second in line to Vince Spadea in consecutive losing streaks.

Stanley stan the staminal stan lost in three..:huh:

he is really losing the plot. hope he finds the plot again in time for the davis cup final.

Perhaps the organizers are going out of their way to show they're not giving Federer preferential treatment?

Third consecutive tournament in which he lost his first match. :cover

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Stan has lost the plot seriously.
I watched his match against Simon at Shanghai,Stan made soo many ufe in that match,also to me he cant play those big points well anymore,tends to lose focus easily.
