Rio Open ATP 500 Clay

Come on Ferrer dont do a Rafa now please

Way to go Ferrer! His 23rd tour title is very impressive. He turns 33 this year but seems to still have something left in him. I don't see a Slam in his future but hope he can stay in the Top Ten for a couple more years.

clap:clap

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Vamos Ferrer to win the title at Rio and also his 2nd ATP title so far this year.

 

[Billie]

Congratulations to David.:clap

Too many UFEs for F3 but he did try, just came up against better player today.

 

[Carol]

Yes David, you were the best player, you has deserved to win!!!!:clap

Yesterday is in the past, we have to look to the future and I have a good feeling

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ahhh Guga one of my all time favourite players at the trophy ceremony

[Billie]

Fabio has a nice smile, but Guga...it's something else.

You are not the only one, sometimes the players too and more when they are llooking the flag and listening their country anthem

So much about Ferrer fading fast

Ferrer had a bit of luck here, but give it a couple of months and we'll revisit the idea.:snicker

Heck, let's see what happens next week.

I agree with Billie re: not panicking yet.

Losing the non-slam clay events has proven to be meaningless, as Nadal lost THREE clay events last year and still only dropped TWO sets at Roland Garros :snicker

I'd only panic if Nadal is ever down 2 sets to 1 versus Djokovic at Roland Garros (that has never happened).

So we have a long wait to find out if Nadal is in trouble :laydownlaughing

Maybe not so long as you seem to think.

Rafa did much better in all of his comebacks except this year. And since Rafa has shown the worst signs of decline so far, I frankly wouldn't be laughing out loud if I were you.:cover

All good things come to an end eventually, I think the saying says.:exclamation:

A bad starting doesn't mean a decline as more you are insisting about it :-/
