I take your point regarding Federer. I used to similarly back the underdog against Sampras but then found myself backing him when he came back to win his last Slam (the US Open, as I recall). However, the other points against Federer (the way his fans remind me of Gooners in their sanctimony and my perception of his false modesty) conspire to keep me wishing him failure. Watching sport rarely brings out the best in us. Well, in me, anyway.
1800:
Players knocking up now in the early evening sun, a marvellous sight indeed. These two men both 26 but that's about all they have in common, tennis-wise: Nadal has 50 career titles to Rosol's none and two Wimbledon titles to Rosol's one first-round victory. Nadal has not lost before the third round at a Grand Slam since 2005 at SW19. You have to say Rosol's got two hopes of winning this: slim and none, and slim's got his bags packed and is about to leave town...

Well Federer is making easy work of this
Fed into round 2
6-3, 6-2, 6-0
nadal wims wimbledon this year
Boring fed match on centre court - I would not pay a penny to watch that match
nadal may struggle for first set. Does not look at his best yet and his first serve are not going in.
Nadal is saving those break points like a champ. Not playing great but his grit and determination has to be admired.
Darcis is serving well, he is putting his first serves in and if he serves like this through out the match then it may be closer than people think.
We can have an excellent match on our hands!
Mladenovic just lost the first set but she gave Sharapova a run for her money......
switch to nadals match, we may have an excellent match in our hands if darcis keeps playing well!
Looks like nadal is finding his feet now

We all know who's going to win the women's title, that is s.williams

Lol bbc are just focussing on sharapovas match but nadal has saved like 10 break points already
I was considering banning you
Federer and Murray playing today and completely forgot about Nadal being the fifth seed so thought he was on tomorrow.
Thought you were just making Nadal comments up spamming the thread
I wish I was! he is struggling. tbf darcis playing well but depends how much longer he can keep up the good work
5-5 nadal and darcis and we have played 52 mins
Darcis BREAKS 6-5 to darcis!
Nadal needs time to adjust to the surface. It will take many matches.
