Good job by Simona, now Nole can show who is the boss here :)

Humbert is not a bad player, a crafty left hander
Humbert is a 21-year-old string bean with a 1-2 record on grass coming into this tournament.

Rafa looked like he is actually ready to win the whole thing today. To me anyways.

I agree and that is what I have been saying; Nadal looks ominously good right now. I would like Federer to hoist his ninth here, but he is going to have to walk onto that court as the underdog (which he is--screw the seedings) and play very well and with attitude. He needs the old-time quick Federer start with great serving and attacking tennis where his service games are over in two minutes or less. If he serves at 50% or worse and has to defend his second service against this kind of Rafael, I think it will be a very tall order for him.

Don't :) But I am telling you, he looked better than the Rafa that took Nole to 5 sets last year and barely lost. Nole has to step it up as well.

Well it is obviously a much stronger version of Novak too this year, that goes without saying.

To quote myself, when it comes to surface speed, nobody has any idea what the fuck they're talking about.

Everyone, even the pros, give very contradicting views on surface speed, often at the same tournament. The one thing that seems consistent from what I've heard pros, including Nadal and Federer say, is that the balls are always heavier at Wimbledon. Nadal actually gave a very interesting answer about the speed of the grass at Wimbledon after his match with Tsonga. I'll transcribe it in a while.

Easy to look good when you play Sousa and on green clay it's normal. Don't know why Sousa reminds me of that Sosa character in Scarface.

To whom Federer has played until today? don't make me laugh!

Milos breaks in the 4 game of the first set.
According to the commentators, this court plays much faster than the centre or court 1.

Djoker hit another one of his patented smashes into the net. Cahill says there's a hitch in his swing when he hits it, which isn't there when he serves.
