Indeed he did...alas age has caught up with him in a bad way,whenever I have attended the clay tournaments in Europe and Vilas has been there,he is always dressed in black,wears a black hat,reminds me of someone in the Mafia....;) though once he did bring a Pink sweater to Monte Carlo tournament...though he never wore it and left it on the seat.

That's funny how he always wore black and ended up bringing a Pink sweater and never wore it.

I think the Europeans are the only ones who don't care to wear pink, good for them! ;)

Quite the pile-on for the Rafa upset. Seems that folks are otherwise afraid. ;)

Welcome back Moxie! It adds extra suspense given that the new Pablo has never been on a
bull hunt before. Do you know any active player who caught the bull on their first try?

What are the chances that you don't know the answer to that question?
If you're asking on clay, Horacio Zeballos.

I should not forget Zeballos either considering that it happened in the recent past.
Let us see whether third Pablo is the charm in Rio.

I thought that Rafa's match would start at 6:30, I came from work as fast as the faster pilot of Formula1 and then I see this match could last for ever and maybe Rafa will have to play tomorrow two matches ? :mad:
