Because his face looks like it was just run over by a tractor-trailer! And he's Swedish. So ugly Swedeling!

Well, I'm off to shoot myself. I hate tennis for now. Nadal wins a title, then my least favorite of the semifinalists wins. I don't dislike Verdasco, but I'm certainly very, very unhappy about this result

Verdasco got his cake and ate it too.

Nadal is happy either way because this match sucked.

What would you do if Nadal participated this year and won his 6th Barca in a row?

LOL! The ugly Swedeling winning the French Open? My neighbors dog stands a better chance of winning the Spelling Bee contest!

Don't worry, he'll be back to being a choker in Rome.
Seriously though: Congrats to Verdasco, well done!

Good win 4 Fernando! Sod has nothing 2 b shamed about. He is going 2 b an upset threat in any of the clay tournies. Just has 2 keep his groove going.

I just realized I like Verdasco less for sucking so bad against Nadal last week then playing well against Soderling. My subconscious ftw. Nadal hardly needed to be more overrated though...

I don't even dislike, him, in fact I like him, I just liked the other 3 more, and I will never forgive him for that match against Nadal that made everyone say "The king is back! What a match! How incredible! Those aren't unforced errors, they are Nadal winners in disguise!"

Poor DG2010. He should just go in hiding during the clay season.
That would be best for his health.

Actually, it is (by far) my favorite type of surface, as long as Nadal loses at some point...

ROTFL. Soderling is no Victoria Silvstedt or anything remotely close :lol:

No. She would sound way more mature if it were.

Fernando: I'd like to thank my coach, my Dad, the tournament organizers, and Rafa, for not being here...

I'm happy Verdasco won, heck, in a way, I'm happy Nadal won.But, I admit, I literally was having heart palpitations while Verdasco was suiciding vs Nadal

I understand what you are saying, but I don't understand why. Why hate Nadal so much that even your opinion on other tennis players are affected by it? I personally support Nadal over Federer any day of the week, but I can appreciate his tennis and him winning doesn't send me into a downward spiral of hate and depression. LOL.

I don't like his antics at all, but a large part of my dislike for him is just a gut feeling. I much prefer Nadal's game to Federer's

It works both ways though. When Nadal failed last year the composition of the boards changed dramatically as well. Only balanced posters (such as you and I) can ride through tough times and be relatively unaffected when the players we support don't come through.

Congrats to Verdasco, clearly meant alot to him and a great effort coming off reaching the final in Monte Carlo. Really like Verdasco's game, great forehand and he seems a nice guy aswell.

Semi-Pro
To be fair, Nadal did beat Soderling 0 and 1 on clay before RG last year. Of course, Verdasco will almost certainly not repeat what Soderling did last year at RG.
I could definitely see the semifinals in the cards for him, depending on the draw. Against Murray on clay I would put him as the favorite especially given Murray's recent form. Djokovic is very beatable right now and Del Potro is a major question mark. Plus Verdasco seems to have finally mustered up the ability to beat top 10 players, he's done it four times this year already (Roddick in San Jose, Cilic in Miami, Djokovic in Monte Carlo, Soderling Barca) when last year he only beat two the entire year (Murray and Tsonga AO)
Verdasco has a dream draw in Rome, hopefully he isn't too tired to take advantage of it.

Ok, ok, sorry, I just don't like him. Everyone has a player they can't stand, mine just happens to be high-ranked

LOL. Did he actually say that. My stream cut before the acceptance speech.

He played much better this week. (This is what I was just ranting about )

that is why tennis isn't on t.v. like it used to be back in the 1970's. I hope the game has some new, exciting up-and-comers cause I really enjoyed watching it on t.v. every weekend.
