POETRY CONER: If You're Happy ...

yass nitb. Hopefully Andy's first Wimby final now with all the luck in the world and please god let it be ................

Well, if he doesn't make it to the final this year....there's always the next one

I can't decide who's happier about this Fed or Murray?
I would really be happy for Murray to make it to the final.

hopefully a Murray, Radek Stepanek final

I'll tell youwhy Rosol beat Nadal, for the same reason Nole bets him: he does not fear him!
Rossy is Nole's brother from another mother :

"Czech Lukas Rosol, who stunned two-time champion Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon, is unsure why the Spaniard bumped into him during a changeover early in the third set of his five-set victory. Nadal wouldn't speak to the issue, but it appeared he was upset that Rosol was bouncing up and down while he was serving.

"I was surprised that he can do it on the Centre Court Wimbledon," Rosol said. "It's like something wrong. But I didn't expect it also. Was his choice. He did it. ... I just stop. I thought that he wants to let me go first, but then he start to walk fast. I stop because I don't want to hit me. He hit me, and then three times he apologize. And I say, Okay, okay, okay. It was okay."

eh. sorry nole translation lost there. is the jist of it that nadal kind of barged into rosol at change of ends. if i've got it right then i like this guy even more

yes!

This just feels so weird and impossible. Rafa losing in the second round of a slam - after he won the first set in a long tie-breaker that could have (should have) broken the other guy's spirit.

It is like finding out that Santa Claus is real after all - many years after you have come to understand that of course he was not real. Just too good to be true.

Ivanisevic in top gear is the only fitting comparison

you know what they say....all good things come to those who wait

Thanks GP!


"Ivanisevic in top gear is the only fitting comparison"

Ivanisevic would've folded against Nadal any time. Rosol is truly something else, I have not seen anyone like him before (the way he took the challenge on and the guts and focus that only grew as the match went on, contrary to what would have happened to 99% of other guys)
