China Open 500

So...I guess we don't need a poll for this one? :snicker Sure would be nice to see a competitive match though. Things sure would get interesting if Nadal won. But hard to imagine how he would. Never say never though.

Please tell Rafa the 70s called. It wants its shorts back.

Hey, I resemble that remark! That is what I want all players to do; get off the clam-diggers and bermudas! Love the tighter shorts which are really "short!" All these guys with the spindly legs need to go this route esp.! They look ridiculous with baggy shorts hangin' down to their knees!

uzzled :nono :cover Too short.

I don't think I've ever seen a guy do that before! The closest thing I can recall is maybe Steffi Graf going from one "wrap-skirt" to another with ball girls holding towels around her! :cover :nono :angel: :dodgy:

To be fair, that's when he had his shorts on backwards and was trying to remedy the predicament.

I always kinda felt that - despite the obvious resemblance to the actor Anthony Quinn - Jankovic is fairly cute, but what the heck is she doing fumbling around courtside like a maiden aunt changing togs on a beach? Would they not let her leave the court?

And what happened to her old knickers? :eyepop

2011 was the best year of Novak, in just 3 months he became a superman taking by surprise to everyone. 2012 , 13 and 14 he was still playing well but no more surprises for the others players, Nadal was better player in 2013 before his injury and surgery. 2015....maybe is not so good year than 2011 for Novak but who else is playing really well and consistent? nobody. It seems that he has still an easy way to win until things could change and I hope soon

Pospisil and Sock take the doubles title! They beat Nestor and Roger-Vasselin 3-6, 6-3, 10-6!

First point of the final was a firecracker.

Wow, what a trophy!!

Good to see them back in good form!

 

[Puppet Master]

Great use of the slice backhand by Rafa, and he fired one or two forehand dtl winners already. These are good signs. Still down a break though.

 

[nehmeth]

Glimpses of former glory from Nadal in that service game. Yowza.

Rafa is not playing bad, the 6-2 doesn't say how the first set really was but......that serve, servE, serVE, seRVE, sERVE, SERVE!!!!! that's the key Rafa! :dodgy:

 

[Puppet Master]

I am not going by any fanboy logic, nor am I trying to downplay anyone, but ND is really getting outplayed a lot of times. His serve is out of this world right now. It seems as though Rafa is playing Karlovic, and this is precisely why the result is like this. Unbelievable.

 

[nehmeth]

1-1, 0-30 and Nadal does something to his foot/ankle. :cover

 

[Carol]

Oh nooooo, now the foot? hope it's nothing bad lease:
