nadal is really amazing with his injuries. he has all the pain in the world and 3 painkillers later, he is playing his best tennis and all. hmm, maybe he trying to get the opponent to sympathise with his injuries. or maybe those aren't just painkillers... lol.. joking joking. no offence

finally new thread
Nadal still can win even he injured(i dont care it fake or true) bcos Uncle Toni already teach Nadal not to give up and fight every ball,that why we can see Rafa win the set even he already look will lost that set

just read H.Metro today about Rafa only have one coach since he start learn to play tennis,and surprisingly his main ambition is to be a footballer and play for Real Madrid,even he ask his uncle Miguel Angel (ex Spain footballer) to bring him meet Ronaldo at Barcelona,really funny to read his story,even get a million but still stay with family and his mom always shouting to Rafa when bcos his bedroom bersepah

i think its a psychological play by nadal...when opponent see his leg..they change play tactic, and nadal immediately counter-attack on the tactic...hehe clever dude

somehow Federer seems to fear him too much which gives Nadal the edge even before the match starts

he is one of the toughest man to beat in tennis.

suddenly question pops out from mind...i wonder if Nicol David ventures into tennis would she be successful or not?

Probably not.. Due to the height maybe. Haha.

And also the high competition in tennis compared to squash.

Chong Wei and Nicol cant get success if play tennis,just look at their small hand

excellent.. cant wait for more tennis and hopefully this time the tournament does not end with me being upset for a week..lol..

Yeah... Hope Federer gonna win this. He needs it to keep his No.1 spot and also as a confidence booster.

Federer and players practising in Toronto.

bepeon, if both fed and nadal meet in the final of the next two tournaments, and nadal wins them both, will nadal be no.1 already?

I don't think so. Unless Federer loses in 1st round and Nadal wins the tournament, then he's the new No.1.

So it is the hardcourt season already? :D Grass court season seems pretty short er...

If that happens in toronto, nadal's the new no.1?

Yeah. Or it happens in Cincinnati (the next Masters Series after Toronto)

Everything is on the line now.. Federer can't let it slip by a bit. Every match can change everything.

wow. difference of 500 points rite?
is it that easy to close that gap?

If Federer somehow gets kicked out during the first round of Cicinnati, which he won last year.. then a lot of his point is going to be deducted. (Or rather a whole 500 will be gone @@)
