Thanks Hope, nice you nailed that too :toast:
I did not see that match but Mauresmo obviously made one of her famous melts in this match. In the first set tiebeak everything was open for her when she had a 6-3 lead but managed to lose 8-6, almost identical how Djokovic managed to lose Kiefer yesterday in the tiebreak.
I wonder if they will today get the winner in the Soderling-Nadal match. By the way have you seen this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch5rOC42dW0 , if somebody does not know it is Nadal's trademark to grab his pants from the ass before he serves. Nadal broke instantly after his serve so maby it would be better for Robin to focus more into the game. There surely is now bad blood between the players.

That Soderling/Nadal thing was great. I saw it live. Soderling was pissed off for most of the match. Nadal shouted 'come on' when Soderling double fauted early in the match. Then he started getting pissed off as Nadal was taking his time during the points. It was a silly thing to imitate him with the asspicking as Nadal was suddenly fired up, but it was such a funny moment. These guys HATE each other.
Nadal has been terrible everytime they've come back from the rain delays. I'm hoping Soderling doesn't choke.

My both lifestyle chokers eventually lost their matches. Soderling was so close to make a break before Nadal hitted. Mathieu's match was like gsm before today but today he managed to lose his serve when serving for the set and then lost the tiebreak after having 5-0 lead.
Nadal having -215 against Youzhny tomorrow. How they are making these lines. The line would not be right even if they were playing on the hardcourt. Do they think Youzhny is still injured? Soderling managed to give much problems for Nadal and now we have a better player who's gamestyle is not at least better for Nadal and who is not a headcase. This will be my biggest bet for some time. Mikhail Youzny +195 for me...feels like madness.
Go Mikhail and do your russian salute in the end of the match.:beavis1:
Good luck.

Nadal wins injured Youzhny but now his opponent is again one step harder. I would rate Tomas as a favourite on the hardcourt and even more on the grass. Now he is a dog against Nadal. Now is the time to rob the bookies, give me Berdych +132. Incredible price. Yeah, Nadal played like semigod today last three sets against injured Youzhny who played last three sets like anybody in ATP top 200 would have beaten him. In the first two sets he dominated the game and Nadal had nothing to say. I will cry out loud if Nadal wins this match 3-1 or 3-2 but I will eat my shorts if Nadal wins this 3-0. There are the reasons why Berdych should win. Not going to Nadal's game from the baseline, powerfull serves and powerfull hits and good movement and right timing are the keys. Nadal has been lucky so far but good thing for him is that he has got a lot of practise against same type of players like Berdych but Berdych has been in brilliant form so far.
sorry about that one Levi, amazing shit by Nadal. Slays Soderling, Youzhny, Berdych..........Djokovic up next. Note he's playing these matches consecutively, mixed with silly stops and starts. Crazy, crazy crazy player.
Looks liek Novak is going to send Marcos packing in straights. Playing the big points much better just like he did Vs Grass veteran and former WImbledon champ Lleyton. No one intimidates Novak, he has such belief in himself. Some beautiful drop shots he's played today, he rushes nothing
as for Berdych?....well, when is this guy going to go deep in a Slam? Whinning little baby out there today and he got waht he deserved.

uppy:Tough loss on the Birdman Levi, for both of us. He just played like a complete *****.
My God, the Bagman just can't play the big points. He was a minibreak up in the first set tb, then had 6 set points in the 2nd set tb, and has just blew set point in the third. I like Djoko alot, his belief is amazing. If he plays Nadal, it will be really interesting. He has the groundstrokes, defence, and the dropshot. More, importantly he's so tough mentally. And he's happy to perform a little bit of gamesmanship. He bounces the ball a hundred times, sometimes he'll take an injury break at a good time, or he'll break a racquet to waste some time etc, he grunts on the big points etc. There was no reaction at all from Berdych today, he just started sulking.
JCF is on fire with his forehand.
