Horrible and very erratic game by Rafa yesterday starting with the serve and even worse with his mind which if he won't to recovery soon he will keep losing against anyone
At least today he and Carreño have reached the finals beaten the Bryan brothers

Yeah, what a disappointment. In the CBC article I just read, he says he rolled his ankle in the match with Carreno-Busta.
He withdraws and Grigor gets a pass to the final.
On another hand with Shanghai just around the corner, perhaps 3 days rest would be enough to recover.

Crap...I just didn't know. I hope the ankle is not a serious sprain.

Murray should shove a racquet up his a$$ if he manages to lose on this slow hard court, where he should feel at home. As for Nadal's chances he should play some challenger on clay if possible. His last showing on a hard court was, to say the least, pathetic. At least make the unforced error like a man, serving 80 mph and sending moonballs won't win you a lot of ATP matches.

How colorful you are with this (Murray should shove a racquet up his a$$):nono:cover

Maybe your so good @ tennis you could beat Murray:snicker

I get your point that I was being very vile and unfunny, but why would I play Murray? That makes no sense on any level.
Although I do believe I have a better forehand :p

Is Rafa planning to become a doubles specialist. He may have a bright future as evidence by Olympic Gold Medal and China Cup. :snicker

China Open has been a good win and more after to beat the Bryan's brothers., one more superb title for Rafa under his belt and showing his ability to play doubles too. And yes, he won the GM in Rio not just the doubles but he won before the singles too which Federer never could make it and he never will :snicker

"Carol, how dare you.... you never say anything nice about Roger.....it's your fault......blah blah blah" :D
