Lots of bad calls, too, way too many.

Mats Wilander clearly has issues with players complimenting his opponent for a great shot! It was wrong apparently for Thomas to do it while losing, now it's wrong for Rafa to do it while he's winning.

This match is okay, but I sure wish I had recorded JesusFed. Lucky GoDom to wake up at just the right time.

I wish Brad Gilbert had not compared Rafa to Kobe Bryant. Congrats to Rafa!

Did Roger say something about how many times a player can fistpump during a match? There are some jokes about something like that on twitter.
Rafa played well in the end, returning closer to the baseline.

Judging by that highlights reel from Fed/JMDP match, DelPony hasn't won a single point.

If he really just learned that this year, Lady, that would be pretty obtuse of him considering he's been on Tour for about a decade. It's more likely that he A) became frustrated at a bad time or B) thought he might pressure Federer by bringing things into the public eye. Yeah, you're probably right about frustration. I just find that many Spanish athletes tend to overshare when they speak to their local press and then it gets mistranslated into English with every quote being overdramatized. His words that Roger only cares about his 'good boy' image were not smart by any means and came off wrong even to me and I actually often think the same thing about Roger. What he said was probably somewhat true which is why it's the worst type of thing to say about someone publicly. But it isn't the huge giant dramatic deal that the press has tried to make it. It's nothing.
