Shanghai Masters ATP 1000

[Denis]

Man, Rafa is off. With the slice backhand Lopez plays with all the time, this should have been easy.

Nice last point though.

 

[Riotbeard]

Really great slices by Feli to win those last couple points and get to the net. He is a fun player when he is on.

All the women (and some of the men) are swooning over Delicious' bare chest. :heart:

 

[Federberg]

He played the sort of tennis I've always felt he was capable of. Nice to see. Wasn't making as many errors as I would normally expect

Woah, woah! This is a family website :laydownlaughing

 

[DarthFed]

Probably best for Rafa anyways given his condition. Looking like another ugly Fall season for him.

Looks like Judy Murray has taken over KS' keyboard :laydownlaughing

I am keeping it in the family. Didn't you hear some of the guys cheering? :snigger

Roger-Mayer about to start. Mayer is at his career best 25th in the world. He had a good year.

Roger IS getting old. Jeez...look at what he is wearing to the warm up !

Right Murat. Thanks for bringing us back to tennis. Now, you're absolutely right. That almost looks like a turtleneck.

Well, Judy is right about one thing: the Delicious One, but she's wrong about Amelie coaching Andy.

 

[kskate2]

I don't suspect Leo to give Fed any trouble, right?

 

[Murat B.]

Some trouble can be expected, no? Long lay off, first match against someone you never met, who is on the rise...

 

[Murat B.]

Early wake up calls for Roger. Mayer swinging freely, hitting all the winners...great backhand.

 

[kskate2]

^ I guess you're right. Leo gets the early break.

Look at it this way Nadal fans, at least he didn't withdraw.

His next tourney is Basel, will he pull out ???

It's possible. I've never had an appendix problem, but I've had other surgery and I can't imagine the pain medication will be much comfort for an extended period of time. He'll need to have the surgery, probably sooner rather than later.

So end of season for him ???

 

[Murat B.]

Very impressed by Mayer. The guys has been around for 10 years, but has improved dramatically recently. He is playing solid tennis, taking it to Roger.

 

[Federberg]

Yup agreed. Roger has to earn it!
