Such mixed feelings ... I will always like Nadal bette- of the two, but it is fun to have new champs. Plus the-e's no denying Djok is ea-ning it and has been doing so all yea-.
JMac is so negative. Going on about how if Djok doesn't win this he'll be #1, but maybe won't feel like, it the-e will be doubts and questions ... he's always down on someone, always well "what if, o- if". Is it just about anyone but Nadal? He's just much too fickle, much too -eluctant to give people the c-edit they'-e due.
I can't say it's a bad thing to have the families in diffe-ent boxes, was always wei-d and uncomfo-table, but it was also just one of those things about Wimbledon. Huh.

Stay strong, lb. As his fans we have to see him through to the end no matter what.

He will always be my favorite no matter who wins. That's how favorites are. And knowing Rafa, he will find a way to beat Nole eventually; probably not today. He likes the challenge and understands that defeat is necessary.
Kudos to Nole for playing well.

Well, Roger did. But Rafa still won the match. :-(

This will go five sets I'm thinking unless Nole pulls it together in the 4th. Pretty shot making so far minus the one between the legs from Rafa.

He likes the challenge and understands that defeat is necessary. Very true. Five years ago folks never thought he'd prevail on grass. |

No one thought he'd ever win on a hard court either. Heck no one thought he'd come back after 2009.
Please tell me he took the third set??

Yeah harry I was thinking Fed had done it but lost the match ... but that was Fed! I'm not wo--ied about Nadal, eve-ybody has to lose sometimes, and the top ones know it and adjust to it. May not like it, but accept it.
But I'm glad he's making it a match, and no way would I count him out if it goes to a 5th. In fact, if it goes to a fifth I think it's gonna be Nadal. How many times have people questioned him, his fitness(I mean inju-y o- long long match, not "fitness") and yet he's won? Lots.
And I'm not JMac, not fickle and always looking to put playe-s down. My feelings about someone may change ove- time, but not like mad. And a favo-ite is a favo-ite indeed. I don't see my feelings about Fed changing.

I love this board. Years ago I was on TWOP, which was a nightmare. Here we have fans of the game first, who have respect for each other's preferences. Yep, best board in the game.

Ok so at least it's not a straight set win. C'mon Rafa.

Oh God, I -ead Twop a couple days ago and they we-e unbelievable about the commentato-s! I mean, it's fine to bitch about them, and we do too, but acting as if PMac has no -ight to make any c-itical comments about anyone, eve-, because he himself was not a g-eat champion. I'm no big advocate fo= him, but make it about what he says, not who he is. Heh, well unless he we-e someone disgusting like Conno-s.
I think it's Djok's day, but don't let Nadal get his foot in the doo-, I don't count him out at all.

What annoyed me about TWOP, was there rules about not discussing the game, when it was live. I was kind of annoyed by that but, whatever.
But then a got a warning from them, because I was discussing matches, that weren't being shown on television, therefore I was out of bounds. That was completely asnine. So pretty much I could only talk about in tennis about Federer, Nadal, Sharapova, and all the American tennis players.
