Nadal putting on a clinic

When Rafa is at peak form it's fvcking epic to watch.

When he's at his peak I actually like watching him on hard courts as much if not moreso than any others. It forces him to flatten his shots, and he is just insanely dominant.

People on here were saying Robredo played the match of his life.

He didn't. Fed just played really really bad.

Yeah, he is actively trying to end points quickly. He really really is fun to watch at peak form. So is Djoker btw, but for different reasons.

And both appear to be in peak form. I'm getting giddy about this possible final.

Worse than a clinic. I can beat the guy I take clinics from.

Rafa took him to school, sent him to detention, and then banged his mom in the front seat of her minivan while she waited for little Tommy to get out of detention. He didn't wear a rubber, and he blew his load in the passenger seat for Tommy to sit in when he eventually departed.

Yeah but I expect Murray to at least take it to 5 sets and potentially win it.
Djokovic took Nadal all the way on his favorite surface in May and I want to see how Nadal will do against Djoker on his, in a slam.

I think Djoke takes Murray in four.

Also, I'm risking $2000 to win only $100 in betting on Djoke today against the maniac Russian. And I'm not even sweating it a bit.

I'm not about to say that Rafa is playing as well on hards right now as he was on clay. But he's playing well enough on hards that I don't see the surface being an inherent advantage for Djokovic like it is for Rafa at the FO.

That'd just be mean if a teacher sent me to detention and then went outside and banged my mom in the parking lot.

If I were a teacher, I'd totally do that. "Sorry, little Jimmy has detention, he was a bad boy today. And are you in the mood to be a bad girl?"

Are you discussing a joke you made, that no one has acknowledged, with yourself?

They are doing a fricking exho at 7 on Ashe with Chrissie/Seles v. Jason Biggs/Rainn Wilson (no idea who this is - on edit, it's that Office guy). :vomit:

Jesus. At least make it interesting and let Redfoo play Serena's coach or something.

Or Sharapova v. Connors, where Sharapova has to remove an item of clothing every time Connors breaks her serve.

Gasquet beats Nadal as a 13 year old... interesting to see how fast Rafa wants to play the points back then... hardly waiting for the ball boys to clear:

Holy crap, but not completely unexpected as I felt like he has been dogging the hardcourt season. His game requires so much energy that the Wimbledon letdown is understandable. Stan and Gasquet will get worked in the semis, but their backhands are goddamn works of art.

Looks like Andy Murray has jumped the shark.

Wawrinka killed him.
