The women and some dudes were all about those mysterious biceps he grew at age 18, but they've disappeared a bit over the years, no? You are part of the other section of the Rafa fan club: the Sampras fans latching onto the best hope of stopping the Night King (Federer). And then there are just a few misguided souls like Shoelace who actually like the rat for his game.
Don't you get tired to talk constantly so much shit again and again? maybe you are a good entertainment for someones around here but to me you are a shame of this blog, a hater, boring and someone who makes that some good people are getting out of here and not posting any more. This blog could be much better but unfortunately I see it won't. Try to be a better person and tennis follower because you are far to be both ways. Enjoy with your "king" while you can but also try to give more respect and credit to who deserve it
Chao!

Some battle between Del Potro and Thiem. If Juan is ill, you've gotten favor Thiem the longer this goes. Delpo will want to finish it here.

Some shot from del Potro. If not for illness, he should win this match. Update: Then great shot from Thiem!

LOL AP. In your dreams. I'm only 5'9" and almost 12 years older than Nads but in 100 times better shape. He has a flat chest like a 12 year old school boy and my arms are proportional unlike his. I dropped from 85kg (Nads apparent weight) to just 71kg to get shredded and look way bigger than him considering I dropped from his weight while being 4 inches smaller. Sorry to disappoint you. Nads hasn't looked good since around 2008 now and even then he just had good shoulders and 1 good bicep. Still had a crap chest.
I call BS. Regardless of chest size, bicep size, whatever else size...You think that you're in better shape than Nadal? He is a premier pro athlete. Measurements mean absolutely nothing.

That's it on a DF. Wow. Some match. (What I saw of it, and by the score line.)

Cahill calls this the most shocking comeback that he's seen by del Potro. Hopefully, he can recover, from illness and exhaustion.

Must be terribly embarrassing to Thiem to lose to a sick JMDP who did not hit a single winner for two full sets.

It's one thing to lose from two sets up, it's a whole different thing to lose after winning them 1 and 2 and facing a clearly sick opponent. This one will sting for Thiem. I like the kid but so far he is just a clay court specialist...so far

del Potro, like Isner, is a "rope-a-dope" artist. Mope around for most of the match like you're injured/ill and then, all of a sudden, make a miraculous recovery. Right or wrong...Even so, Thiem choked.

I saw only the end of it to, but it was a helluva match. Even if it ended on a DF, Thiem plays like a big boy, and has the (fuck, as I write this Federer is firing some insane winners) attitude of a champion. He knows what he is doing, and no matter what people say about other guys I think he is one of the guys to dominate the tour in about 3 or 4 years.

Different opponent, same summer story for Domi: Serve for the match and can't close. It's a familiar story for him and one that will haunt him until he deals with whatever mental block is hampering him from playing his best at the most critical part of the match.

On a side note, why is Mladenovich sitting in Domi's box? Hmm... :smooch:

Give del Potro some credit for heart. I still think he's the quality player, of the two.

She was there during Cincy too. Kiki is one of my WTA faves. It is a growing list but at least she's there. Good for Dom if he's "dominating" that :clap:

I believe that gossip already entered earlier in this thread. Dating?

Del Po deserves credit but it was a pretty pathetic loss. Serving for it at 5-3 30-0 and he basically broke himself. Played an absolutely dismal TB too. I think it's fair to call this one a major gag (for those who hate the C word)
