What's up with Nadal's service position on the ad court? He's standing so wide to where the serve can almost exclusively be sliced. Really odd.

WE ALL KNOW RAFA IS ODD...

hehe...

Apparently there were a few punch ups in the crowd between Argentina and Brazil fans during Delpos first round doubles.

men!!! lol.

Pity for No1e's injury which will hopefully heal by USOpen in time for him to defend his title there.

I guess Olympic medals will be shared now between Rafa the Wedge, Andy Turrets and Delpo.

I'm not surprised, both countries always have a war between them ::sw1::and Uruguay and Brazil too

That's what they did when Nole played against Delpo. Argentinians were provoking Brazilians all the time and then Brazilians booed to them in response. I hoped Brazilians would adopt No1e and support him to spite Argentinians, but there was very little of that. All they did was waiting for Argentinians to start with their provocations so they have a reason to boo back.

Rafa says; "I'm enjoying on court at the same time not too much pressure from me. After two months not competing I don't expect much. I just expect to enjoy the Olympic experience again and that's what I'm doing. You never know if it's the last Olympics for me, hopefully not. But it's a possibility"

for me for rafa --

FIRST THING!

ENJOY AND BE HEALTHY -- everything else will fall in place if it's his fate to win the gold again!

but i BLAME BRITBOX for jinxing MY SERENA! OK? please don't argue with me! lol

whatever BRITBOX did or didn't do -- i don't care -- he is to blame. and that's THAT. lol

 

[teddytennisfan]

AMAZING ALSO solme of the shots PUBALO CUEVAS comes up with -- what a wonderful player he is too! bellucci too - but it's NICE to see also a much lesser known player like CUEVAS bring his game and talent and have the chance to get the medals!

but looks like bellucci has this match more - unless cuevas raises his own game some more.

some NICE serving from bellucci !

i always wonder -- IS this bellucci -- although argentinian -- somehow RELATED to the FAMOUS ITALIAN BEAUTY -- ACTRESS MONICA BELLUCCI?

don't tell me nobody knows her? she's so beautiful and a FINE actress

people should see her portrayal in a very, very touching italian film

"MALENA" -- and other movies she made (recently in the latest JAMES BOND film - as the widow in the start of the film)...

AMAZING TENNIS from PABLO AND TOMAS B. (no, not Berdie berdych)...

 

[teddytennisfan]

wow -- pablo got back at tomas with an amazing break! wow.

they better bring out giant picture of MONICA BELLUCCI -- it will distract players!

and it will be fun for the olympics!!

 

[britbox]

Bellucci can play for sure... he just rarely strings it together for long enough.

Cuevas had a really solid start to the year before petering out a bit. I was expecting more from him during the European clay swing.
