Madrid Open

It's fabulous!

If it were 1975, I'd agree.

And yeah, the trophy is also a mess.

[Corbon]

So Nadal is facing a Swiss player with a one-handed backhand in the final. Hurr hurr hurr

[djarvik]

This one-handed backhand player though loves a high ball to his backhand

[Cro Morgan]

This one-handed backhand player who loves a high ball to his backhand who isn't nearly as good as Nadal.

In short: Nadal in two boring sets.

top tennis has become boring to watch, new blood is needed, i rather watch Haas vs Tsonga than Nadal vs Federer and that guys is a symptom of things going wrong

[Florian]

it will all depend on how well can Waw recover so short after his SF, if he can then he might win, otherwise it's a 65/35 for Nadal.

That is because Haas is awesome.

[Corbon]

You could say that both finals were equally exciting.

[Florian]

Yeah heavy and dry conditions, perfect for Rafa...but he will have a slightly harder draw in Rome, if his opponents make it to the next round.

[Moralspain]

btw kudos for Rafa though, he's back from a long break and he's getting titles again (Indian Wells, Madrid, Barcelona, Acapulco and Sao Paulo). We all know he doesn't play a graceful, poetic tennis like many other guys but damn! he's a title hunter

[Cro Morgan]

What about the trophy?

From the forum of another tennis web site:

"Congrats Rafa on winning the sexual torture device! VAMOS!"

[Corbon]

Rome

Granollers wins first set vs Murray by playing a great approach + volley game.

[djarvik]

And up a break now!

[Corbon]

Murray retired after winning the 2nd set...?

Hip injury.
