Wimbledon 2013

I would say Darcis. To me, Rosol has a few weapons, where Darcis "should" have nothing to hurt Rafa with...nothing but a solid grass game. Rafa usually grinds these up, but he was a bit off today.

Sorry for pulling for a guy I like... it bothers you somehow? ...just as much as my disliking of the Mutant or more?

No problem with that at all, it's just the manner you do it in.

But yeah, even though you have no reason to, by all means 'dislike' Murray.

[djarvik]

I dont have a reason, but I do have a right to do so.

I hate Mutant, I Like Gulbis. Can you deal with that without bending all out of shape?

[Davey CaRnAgE]

Perhaps you should draw attention to your antics in another post before suggesting I'm 'bending all out of shape'.

Also, it's not the Gulbis fan boy thing that bothers me, it's the way you post your predictions in such an arrogant manner, hence why I'm so glad you got massively proved wrong with Nadal's loss, regardless of how Murray ends up doing.

[djarvik]

how well you know me....

How in the seven kingdoms can Darcis beat Nadal?

Wonky knee. Other than that, there is no other way.

[djarvik]

I think he lost some intimidation factor at slams in guys ranked below 50. They used to fold before the match started....now they all feel like if they go all out - they will win. I mean common, Darcis?? ...Rafa should have won him on one knee.

[Bowler2151]

The Tennis Gods say "Thou shalt not be Federer vs. Nadal at Wimbledon unless its the final". This is the only logical explanation for Nadals loss

[Moralspain]

Rosol for sure, at least Darcis has a little bit of form on grass. Nadal hasn't played on anything other than clay since that match.

I agree, as far as i know it's the third time he beats a top ten,the other 2 were Berdych and (can't remember)

[Moralspain]

I mean common, Darcis?? ...Rafa should have won him on one knee.

that's true but Rafa can't have an easy win on grass, he doesn't have the weapons for that. He's been able to get 2 Wimbledons but fighting like a bull, no way he can beat Darcis same way Fed beat his opponent today. Haven't watched Fed's match, but with his serve working at its 70%, getting some aces or hiting a good serve and finishing the play with one shot (FH) and some volleys...that's all he needs to win in straights against top 50 guys.

[djarvik]

True.

I would liked to see him coming to net more often, even SVing. Darcis was blocking his serves a lot. Rafa looked a bit unsure on when to come in etc...

[VillaJ100]

Hewitt looking good against Stan, very fluid and consistent and a lot of CMONNN's. Also not wearing a cap for the first time in like a decade?

[Rob ITST]

Wow, it's been a year since Nadal won a non-clay match. His confidence must be at an all time low right now.

[Ugadalou]

Guys sorry to be a spoilsport but Nadal did win Indian Wells.And that's not on clay.
