Your picking Anderson to make the semis so who is gonna knock out Nadal? Also ANDERSON, really

[Lady]

I've slept through almost everything, but happy that Rafa won. I have no expectation for him.

[janie]

I don't either, but I do have (secret, tentative) hopes! His getting through that one in straight sets was a relief.

[Lady]

I turned on my TV and was surprised to see Rafa playing. He's down 2 sets to 1, but he looks absolutely exhausted. I have no idea why, he didn't look that bad even during that 6-hour final.
He's losing this match for sure, but I'm more curious why.

[Lady]

Found this on twitter "Genny SS ‏@genny_ss 17m17 minutes ago

According to the info my Spanish commies have been provided, Rafa has been vomiting in the locker room between set 1 and set 2"

well that would explain stuff, and how he's not moving that well. at least that should be temporary, and he should be fine after AO.

[Lady]

Tim Smycek did something I've never seen before. Rafa was up 6-5 30-0 in the 5th and someone in the crowd shouted during Rafa's serve motion. Rafa missed, all annoyed obviously, and Smycek said 1st serve again, replay the point. That's quite something.
Rafa in return is wasting match points though. Horrible forehand errors.

[Lady]

Rafa actually did win in the end and started crying, well, I was crying too. I all expected for him to lose today.
It was nice to see Rafa going for his forehand though when he could barely move.

[Lady]

And a women match still to play on RLA, so stupid.

Wow, Tim; good for you. But this is all so depressing. Why are they making Rafa play in the middle of the night in the first place? Give Aussies that spot. Rafa needs to be able to go to bed early and get lots of sleep and lots of treatment.

Oh my god. I have to go see who those unlucky women are.

[janie]

Oh, it's Simona. What a shame. And she played terribly in her first match. This should be interesting!

[Lady]

Tim Smycek is just a really nice guy: "That was his C or D game, and he found a way to win. That's why he's the best." -Tim Smyczek on Rafael Nadal. #smadal #ausopen
"Smyczek on giving Nadal another 1st serve at 6-5 after spectator shouted: "It clearly bothered him & I thought it was the right thing to do"

Rafa keep praising him on giving him that 1st serve so that's nice too.
"What he did at the end of the fifth, very few players would do that after four hours," Nadal says of Smyczek's gesture #AusOpen

Nadal was asked whether he thought he could come back after falling behind 2-1. “No."
Nadal: Felt fine going into the match. In fact, had one of his best practices today. But felt so bad on court he thought about stopping.



I just hope that a day of rest will get him through it somehow.

She's playing better today so far.

[freudo]

darn I missed the picks, well, looks like not too many did it. It took me about 100 tries to remember my password and username

[janie]

Yes, not many pickers here now. But the place is somehow still alive, so that's surprising and fun. I can come here and get all the important Rafa news from Lady without having to wade through long articles and interviews.

[Lady]

For me there's no sense in picking as Djokovic def. Federer/Murray and Serena def. Sharapova are the only things you can predict and if one of those won't happen then something so unpredictable happened that no one could envision anyway.

[janie]

Much more reassuring scoreline from Rafa this time. But so many other results from last night are disappointing. Wuss?? Baghdatis and others

[Lady]

Woke up to see Petra's back as she was leaving the court after a loss. Well I knew those easy early wins meant nothing. I like Madison, so could she please do some real damage to the draw after this win?

[janie]

Rafa out - to Berdych?? - Maria sailing like a Kim through her tailor-made draw --- the gods must be crazy.

[Lady]

Not surprised about Rafa, he exceeded my expectations! Maria's draw makes me cry

[janie]

Would love to see Wawrinka-Nishikori but man, the time frame could not be worse.

[Lady]

It could be just me, but this AO has been an absolute bore so far

[janie]

" ... excluding serving stats, the two men combined for 26 unforced errors to just nine winners."

Guess I don't mind having missed Stan vs Nole.
