Rosol kept Rafa waiting at the net! :lolz:

What's next? He kicks over his water bottles? Got to admire how he's playing up to the role. I'm sure he feels the freight involved in this match too...

On the contrary, It was Rafa who bumped against Rosol during a change over in that
Wimbledon match. Don't forget that Kieran. No legitimate explanation for that event was
given other than Rafa was p......... off as he was losing.

Why, I bet Kieran and BS believe Rafa's huge ;)

I've never really thought about it to tell you the truth, and I'm worried that you did.

By far the most overblown "incident" in recent memory since Federer's infamous finger wag.

I love that in Rafa. I think if he played against himself he'd kick the water bottles apart after one game. Rafa is old skool! He'd last the course against Connors and Mac...

I suspect that's why Front is continually making a point of Rafa tugging at this own "front." I can't believe I'm engaging in this, but frankly, dude, (@Front,) you spend too much time on it. In the conversation as to who is the 'Alpha Male' in the tennis equation, it seems that this is what Front and Mastoor are actually worried about. :snigger :cool:

If you think that is overblown "incident", what you think of Rosol keeping Rafa waiting
at the net as alleged by Kieran and projecting it to incidents that never happened.
It all depends on whose fan you are? In fact, only reason I brought it up is to
ensure some justice here. Have some perspective guys. Don't let fandom blind you.

I'm pretty sure that Kieran was admiring Rosol for his 'cheek' there. No incident implied.

Exactly! I thought it was funny cos usually Rafa keeps everyone, including the queen of England and the Pope, waiting while he sorts out his water bottles. I like when players show a bit of spite and roughness towards their opponents, players are far too subservient to the the stars nowadays.

But as well, I think Rosol was enjoying his moment and he did it well...

Rosol keeping Nadal waiting at the net is nothing. It's a no incident. Kieran was being sarcastic.

Murray was knocked out earlier. He said he won't play Oz if he's not ready to. I wonder if his result here will influence that much. He didn't get a huge amount of match practice...

Going by the photo Mastoor posted I don't think I'm envious of Rafa's size actually :cool: I'd say Xisca should be worried :snigger

Some absolutely ridiculous shots by Kamke this game. Last winner was nuts.

Bad time for a DF, especially after the great last shot to get back to 30-40.
