WTF is Beck (18 years old, well inside the top 200 and rising, competitor in senior qualies) doing in the juniors? It can't even be the WC, she's there ALREADY.
After today it's a relief to have SFs where I don't hate anyone involved and won't be massively pissed off by anyone winning. Go Nole and...Fit Dave! I want the NOLESLAM and don't think it'll happen over Rafa.

Both obvious for me: Bamos Rafa, and Ajde Hobak.
Definitely want Rafa to win the final after that.

No one is actually planning to watch Ferrer/Nadal, right? I felt Ferrer/Murray took enough years off my life the other day.

I just hope David plays as well as he can and doesn't feel obliged to lose to KING RAFA.
If he then goes down in 3 sets, so be it.

I definitely plan to watch it as much as my work allows me I like both players So do I...just not against each other. Actually, it's got to the point where I have no interest in watching Rafa on clay against anyone except Djokovic. Why do we all suddenly (apart from Edna) hate Djokovic, anyway. |

I don't like domination (unless done by my absolute fave player, off course), he beat Rafa too many times and his winning became too predictable. I actually started off as Justine & Roger fan, but he became so dominating, that I totally stopped supporting him, plus all that crying and attention-seeking. So far Ferrer had several break-points and is holding easily. And as i wrote it, off course rafa breaks. |

I love Nole but I don't want him to hold all four at the same time. I...don't know why. It's probably Rafa-related.

Well, the first four games were close.

So after saving those breaks point at 1-2 , Rafa started playing really really well and Ferrer won something like 2 points (now 4).

Poor David!
How do you recover from losing a point when Rafa literary played a shot sitting on his ass?

That was the best sitting dropshot I've ever seen.

So play is suspended at 6-2, 4-1 for Rafa.
I began rooting against Djokovic around RG last year when he began winning way too much. I was fine with him winning AO in 2008 and 2011 but got tired of it real quick. Oddly enough, the only time I haven't gotten sick of domination was Rafa, who I was rooting for to complete the RAFASLAM at AO 2011.

It sounds so weird, Rafa didn't grunt at all in this last game.

I find Hobak to be a compelling personality and he is certainly a great player and FIGHTER!!11. While I don't actively cheer against him, I have never been happy for him when he wins. Not sure why that is. Poor Dave.  |

Rafa was very very good.

Nadal's dropped the fewest games of any SF winner so far, including the women's singles!

I like both players
