Exciting times. The wait is almost over ..for the first ever Sockuet final !

Gracious, but that was some pretty horrible stuff from Ralf in that first game.

 

[Kieran]

The mystery continues. Rafa served first again - and I missed the toss again. Dunno which is more mysterious. But has he been choosing to serve first, or are they putting him in first?

Did not get online in time to see the toss. Thankfully he's actually hitting better and not chunking the shots.

Allez Richie !!

 

[Kieran]

Yeah, he's much cleaner. gasquet is one of those blokes like Tommy Haas, who the casual observer might see playing great now in his dotage and mistakenly believe he musta been something in his prime...

 

[Kirijax]

Is something wrong with his leg? His knee?

He's played a lot of tennis this week, on a faster indoor surface. Might be some muscle tightening...

 

[nehmeth]

Ralf breaks back against the testosterone-challenged Frenchman

 

[Kieran]

That's a Vamos shot right there! :clap

 

[Kieran]

In! :snicker

 

[Kieran]

The trick now? Don't give a cheap set...

 

[Carol]

I hope that bandage is just more precaution than anything else, at least it's not on his usually bad knee uzzled

 

[Riotbeard]

Great point richie!

 

[Puppet Master]

So wait, Gasquet suddenly has a forehand?
I mean, we haven't seen Nadal play his best tennis for a while now, but how unlucky has he been this season, it baffles me.

 

[shawnbm]

Gasquet will lose this set like the first, 4-6

Not a bad prediction, haha. I wouldn't be surprised if your right or that it goes to a third.

Can't believe no coach has been able to tell Gasquet you're not going to win by staying miles behind the baseline. Absolutely everyone of the top players just boss him around with ease 'cos he refuses to move either to the net or inside the court. He's always MILES behind the baseline.
