At this time, I don't have any plans to do this much more going forward. It's pretty time consuming. But we'll see.


Def bookmarking to read at lunch, thanks!

Idk why, but I'll never be overly confident about Rafa v Delpo. I have no idea why as I know Rafa has the dominant edge, but Delpo always terrifies me.

I'm the same way. I think the reason is because Delpo at his 2009 absolute peak was HANDILY beating Rafa on a hard court. So, the question I suppose is: how much better was that version of Delpo? Has the backhand improved from last year and gotten closer to its 2009 form? Because that Delpo can take the racquet out of Rafa's hands.

Way too high.

I feel this way too, but a weak serve like that vs. the return of Novak is no bueno. That's really, really hard to overcome.

Then again, Nishikori in the late stages of a tourney in good health and NOT coming off a string of long matches is kind of a rare thing. No play for me, but I hope it's a good match.

I should be jacked up today, but I'm becoming ADD as I get older. I ain't got no time for ten hours of tennis. Anyway, vamos Delpo.

What the hell.

Nadal is hurt and giving up.

ETA: When i say giving up, I mean he can't move. Not that he's being a bitch.

Busted knee or something.

He can barely even move out there.

If Del Potro hits the ball to Nadal's left he literally just watches it go by.

Delpo hitting running backhand winners. What kind of cheat code is this?

They just said Nadal doesn’t only have injuries when he’s behind.

It seems to only happen when he’s losing but I don’t want to say he’s like that

Perhaps it only happens when he's losing because he only retires when he's sure it affects his performance?

If there's one dude in the history of sports who doesn't give up its Nadal.
