No, we "Fedfans" are above wishing harm upon other players or attacking fans of other players.

;P

As much as Novak waltzing into an RG victory with a flailing rafa is more than acceptable to me ;), it would be best for the stars to aline for them to have a real slugfest at RG, where both are playing great.



Well, the way they're both playing right now, your first option is the more likely, but Rafa will improve, and really, if it becomes a slugfest, I'd fancy his chances. But who knows? A long time to wait for that and the GSM Nightmare Scenario could happen, where the Unknown Soldier rides in to rescue Wodger.

Again... ;)

Tommy has retired after one set. Dimi is through to the SF's

Crap. I guess this is the way it is going to be for Haas until he hangs them up. I just don't see him having an injury free full season. And this will wear him down mentally too.

Why did Haas retire from the match, what's his injury
Other than the perennial brain cramp, I'm wondering if it's his shoulder again.

No official word why yet: http://www.iol.co.za/sport/tennis/injured-haas-retires-in-rome-1.1689711#.U3YZxVhdWjQ

I just saw it on TC..its appears to be the shoulder.. hopefully its just Tendonitis

:snigger Tough choices there RB.

For legacy's sake, I'd pick the latter as well.

I say that with assumption that Novak wins the titanic fight though ;) I will take either, and maybe voice a different opinion in a pm haha.

So far wondering if my passing thought of Murray winning Rome may actually happen.

It is a possibility. I think Djokovic and Dimitrov have better odds though.

This is going to be a quicky. Rafa is on his way home.

Great point, but Rafa should have dispatched him. He had Murray at full pelt. Great stuff by Andy...
