Oh nadal going to win but he has had a bit of a break since 5 setter. I think was in a 5 setter last year in aus open and then next match had murray and nearly got better of him. So don't right off. Also he one of those tall players that rafas balls land in hitting zone.

easy win for Rafa.......who's next...who?





btw Toni Nadal says this 2011 is the last year we'll be seeing Rafa and Federer as number 1 and 2, time for Murray,Soderling,Djokovic etc to take those positions, honestly that's normal cause these 2 guys has been 1 and 2 since 2005, time for a change...that's life
Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

btw
Nadal has a problem with his new t-shirt (Fearless Rafa Fuego), the red one he's been using since Doha i think, he noticed he was sweating too much with the Dri-fit fabric, but he thought that was because the temperature he had during the whole tournament.
In Australia he has played 4 hour 58 minutes so far and has changed his t-shirt in 14 times, 6 against Tomic, that extreme sweating made him lossing 2,5 kg in his match against Tomic, which is no normal for Rafa. Nadal loves playing with tight t-shirts but from now on (until Nike find a solution with the dri-fit fabric) he will be using a bigger size, he tested the new bigger t-shirt yesterday with 2 guys from Nike (Roy Tamaguchi and Jordi Robert Tuts), and he was happy with the result.
Don't know if he already used the bigger t-shirt against Cilic because i couldn't watch the match.

edit: yes he used a bigger size against Cilic.
After the match he said he might not look so cool now but to play a great tournament. He sweated less.

I'm not going to even accuse you of being related to Rafa, cause now I know you're related to Rafa. You might even be Rafa :!: :idea:

I thought he jsut had virus. Coz in interview he said wasn't feeling best and was saying how he was sweating crazy in tomic match because wasn't feeling great. And now in cilic match said was first time in tourney he felt fully fit.
