Hi Cali

Hey Cali

 

[calitennis127]

Hello. Where is Djokovic when you need him?

 

[Moxie]

Hey, Cali.

 

[teddytennisfan]

true -- quit nervy roger at the end. it was clear that by around 4-4 rafa surviving it was a marker for roger..and then he somewhat lost control

 

[Billie]

Next week they are both in the same half, if they make it there both...rafa and nole

 

[teddytennisfan]

that's why NOLE is indeed quite a notch above right now - even over rafa or roger - Calitennis.

 

[britbox]

I think Mark Petchy is commentating on Sky... said Federer was playing the opponent rather than the ball. True.

 

[teddytennisfan]

very unlike nole would have botched a series of shots .

 

[calitennis127]

Hi Moxie. I am sure you are thrilled to see Nadal wiggle his way into a set victory from behind. Just like Cincy 2013.

 

[Billie]

I agree BB, with you and Mark

 

[Billie]

I am listening to Jason Goodall and Chris Wilkinson

 

[teddytennisfan]

roger better get his first game together . 30-15

 

[calitennis127]

I am suffering through Annacone and Miss Carillo.

 

[Moxie]

You're fond of words like "wiggle" and "weasel" when you talk about Rafa. Nice to see you haven't reverted to anything boring like "neutral" mode.

 

[Billie]

LOL different strokes...what is that saying?

 

[teddytennisfan]

rafa is feeding roger some heavier topspin, it seems but changing length

 

[calitennis127]

Well I have never thought Nadal was boring. I said his forehand was more neutral than Broken and others wpuld have you believe.

 

[teddytennisfan]

he got that one -- now rafa's turn to make sure HE doesn't lose control. haha.

Glad Roger is serving first at least... not that it did him any good in the last set.
