[Carol]

Brown hits the ball hard and has very good serve, very tricky opponent. I hope to see better FH and serve by Rafa and be able to pass that difficult test/match uzzled

Enough, ( not directed at you Miss Carol ) but all this talk and concerned over Dustin Brown is something that I will not try to comprehend. Last year at Halle, Rafa was physically spent from playing winning the RG championship. All due respect to DB but Rafa really was happy to show up and collect the appearance fee at Halle. Sure, he would have liked to advanced further but he really wasn't focused to play a player like Brown who didn't have anything to loose. No excuses but Rafa will defeat this guy in straight sets and I would be very surprised if he doesn't. Brown is a dangerous player on grass but he is playing one of the greatest tennis players of almost every generation, he will be ready to dispose of DB. Trust me .

To be fair though Anti, we've all seen Nadal fall in the early rounds the last few years. Dreadlocks is a decent grass court player so it screams trapgame for Nadal. I wouldn't bet on Nadal losing this match either, but it's definitely everyone will watch to see if this is where Nadal continues his recent pattern of falling in the first week of Wimbledon.

I agree with all you say but after these three years watching Rafa losing in Wimbledon against anyone I feel a little bit worry about his confidence and nerves. I know that Rafa can play very well on grass, he has two Wimbledon titles (one of them playing against the player who was the best on grass at that time) and it's true that after to win year by year the RG he didn't have time to rest like they have this year and he wasn't able to play his best for diferent reasons. This year he looks healthy, his foot work seems well but I want to see that he plays with more confidence, I want to see his FH working better (his BH is much better and also going often to the net) and also his serve which is the main thing. I think he will win but not sure if he will do it easy, I hope he will even that last year he lost against Brown in Halle but like you have said it was a diferent story

That's fair enough. Surely it's the match of the day.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Tignor has jinxed Rafa.

 

[Kirijax]

Tignor has jinxed Rafa.

Does Brown have some sort of cut-your-hair-and-lose-your-power-Samson thing going on with God? Seriously. How can all that hair not bother when you're serving or chasing down a lob? Brown could be a Top 10 visitor if he cut off the hair.

OK, I exaggerated but you get my point. It's like those Olympic track athletes. They are wearing the lightest, skimpiest shirts and almost-there shorts, developed with millions of dollars. And they wear gold chains and earrings. Something I'll never understand.

 

[Federberg]

BREAKING NEWS!!!
Just popped out of my office in North London, and felt a droplet of rain. If Centre Court is closed, Rafa might have to face Dustin Brown indoors. That could change things dramatically. Bring it on!

 

[shawnbm]

It's good to know Federerberg is in London. How's the weather forecast through Tuesday (if you know)?

 

[Federberg]

^According to the BBC...

1300 muggy with showery rain, 22 celsius
1400 muggy with showery rain, 23 celsius
1500 cloudy, 24 celsius
1600 cloudy, 25 celsius
1700 cloudy, 25 celsius
1800 cloudy, 24 celsius
1900 cloudy, 23 celsius
2000 cloudy, 23 celsius

Just popped out again and it was just muggy and cloudy. No rain

 

[isabelle]

Tomic won in 3 sets

 

[Moxie]

Murray looking impressive in straights over Haase.

Muzza! Cannot wait to see the Federer-Murray semifinal!

[Carol]

My goodness Querrey, if you wouldn't have that serve.....:snicker :cry

 

[herios]

J. Ward defeats Vesely and with this run into the R3, he will finally make the top 100 ranking.

 

[Puppet Master]

This is what I was talking about. Federer is actually hitting his forehand and blitzing winners left, right and center. Beautiful stuff really, he looks as flashy as he was during Dubai, but how long will the old man keep it up?

Playing to players like Querrey he would last forever
