But, Rafa took 13 more minutes than Fed. So, who is better? (hehe)

Fognini, clearly. :cool:

Off topic, but seeing as I mentioned Mardy Fish earlier, here's one of the best most recent matches I've seen him play. He's missed on the ATP tour, definitely for US tennis he's a big loss. He was really good in set 2 here at Cincy 2012.

Both of you guys are wrong. Nieminen is the man because he beat Tomic in under 30 minutes! :cool:

^ He's hip, he's cool, he's a happenin' fool! Harsh. Hip related jokes at the expense of poor Tomic. He should never have played so soon after bilateral hip surgery. Madness.

Great win Rafa…what is the injury they're saying that Fognini is carrying? And why is the crowd so rude towards Fognini?

Was wondering what his supposed injury was too. Just his ego I'd say. Rude crowd though.

Commentators saying that he didn't put in the effort, but I didn't really see that. He was mostly out-played. The crowd was against him for some while now, and I'm not clear why. Too many mojitos in?

of course you didn't see that, anyone who lost to Rafa was always putting in their best effort, playing well and never giving up..... what else is new coming from your tinted glasses? :cool:

glad Kei got through instead of Ferrer, as he actually beat Fed before..... while we all know what would happen if David was to face Fed

One of many reasons I am a fan of Novak:

" The second-seeded Djokovic even gave back a point in the second set. A groundstroke from Robredo clipped the baseline and Djokovic couldn't handle it, but the ball was erroneously called out. After a review showed the ball was in, the point was ordered to be replayed.

Djokovic shouted "It's OK, it's OK" as the fans applauded his sportsmanship.

"For me, it's something that is part of the sport, fair play," Djokovic said. "I expect everybody else to do the same. Of course, not everybody's the same, but for me, that's something that's normal. Just a normal, natural reaction.""

^ It's the reason he's grown on me over the years. Very classy. I didn't like his quitting and his overly loud support group at the start, or his seemingly arrogant statements (like vs Rafa at RG). But he was a kid then.. the class he shows now is who he really is

^Agreed (by the way "high" for who remembers me, it has been a while...).

You could see from the start the guy had class by the way he used to applaud other player's good shots. His fans used to hate it (and detractors found a way to taint it), but it always seemed very sportsmanlike to me (and yes, I think you can do that and be competitive).

Tennis Channel is too busy playing the equivalent of an infomercial. Pretty infuriating stuff.

During Nole's quarter - they said the match would be on one of the ESPN channels. I sure couldn't find it.

Anyone think Nishi can take a set off Fed here??
