I can't believe that ended on a double fault. Safina's ghost haunts this stadium.

Poor Nole. But I guess he was due for such an outcome, the same way Maria was due for her outcome. Not in the cards this year for Mr. Serbia.

It kind of brought it home when I realised I wasn't interested in watching Rafa at any point in the clay season apart from vs. Novak.

Was that a key break in each of the three sets he lost that Nole handed over with a DF? NOVAK DJEMENTIEVA.

It kind of brought it home when I realised I wasn't interested in watching Rafa at any point in the clay season apart from vs. Novak. I can understand that. The year+ of whining has been getting to me, too. But I was really rooting for him to win this one, don't know why. I guess because he isn't winning much else these days and I'm not ready for All-Nole, All The Time. Seven of these!

Even a poor match by Big Four standards contained at least a dozen epic points and even a few excellent passages of play It's not like it was SEWTA out there. From that highlights reel, any match will look good. I saw today's play and the few EPIC RALLIES hardly made up for how dreary and anticlimactic it was. And this was actually better than yesterday, right?

And this was actually better than yesterday, right? It wasn't dreary and anticlimactic today, apart from Nole's start and finish. In between it was terrific. Even yesterday, the third set was awesome from Nole. And no one's gonna argue that this was a classic match by any means. Rafa, that trophy is going to BITE YOU BACK one day, it must be pretty sick of this abuse by now.

My French housemate was trying not to laugh during both their attempts at le français I think it's great they try, though. That takes guts with all the millions watching. Especially considering they both speak 2, probably more, other languages besides. Rafa apparently threw in some Catalan!

It would help if I could hate any of Big 4 (or 3 now, I suppose). I never have a rooting interest, just enjoy the tennis. Which gets difficult after watching them play each other 50 times. And there's no KING KOLYA that could possibly sneak through. Well, Fit Dave, I guess, but no.
