Granted, he's one of the very few tennis players who you'd meet for a pint, but still...

Just thinking more on this very important point, it's funny but the likes of Nadal, Djoker and Federer would be boring to go out with, but the French lads Tsonga and Monfils would be great crack, last man standing, and all that. Likewise, Safin, Nalbandian. Sampras would be a bore, ivanisevic would be great. There might be a law of greatness in here somewhere...

Gotta be kidding about Nalby. He'd eat and drink most of us under the table :laydownlaughing I reckon he's a mad character when he's out. Kicking random people and chairs everywhere :lolz:

Yeah, that's a great point there by Monfils...

Amazed Monfils backed up his break. Gotta go up in the attic to move some junk here so if it's still on I'll catch some more later but it'll probably be over.

That's what I said! Safin and Nalbandian would be skirt chasing, rowing with bouncers, hellraisers. The greater the player, the more dull, it seems... ;)

Doh. My bad, didn't see the full stop between Nalbandian and Sampras. Thought it was a comma :p Yeah, they'd be a laugh for sure!

I think you're right, folks, this set will be 6-1 or 6-2... :s

Imagine going out drinking with Fognini. Haha. The dude would shank you with a bottle and then claim he loves you in the same night.
And as for the final: Nadal playing at like 50% most of the time and at 90% in bursts. Nothing special but enough to beat Monfils. It's shaping up to be a great clay season for him.

Federer would bore you with stories about the twins, then be gone home at about 7.30. Rafa would keep checking the watch and make you feel like a po' mofo.

Novak would ask if you wanted to see him do another impersonation of his mates. Then humiliate you by asking the waitress if the crisps are gluten free organic kale crisps, made in the Himalayas... :cover

The second set is as patchy as the first set was great. Neither of them raising the bar here...

Too obvious! Rafa's forehand into the corner was telegraphed...

La Monf does it! :clap

Now, hope he can hold and let me watch the third set as I missed the first.

Carlos overruled a big point. He should be banned from Rafa matches in the future... :snicker

Rafa dropped serve three times in that set, which is very poor. If he loses this match we may have to call the Incline a conditional one: the condition being that he's not playing a big match, because as good as Gael is playing, Rafa played a poor set there, where he'd usually roll him...
