Got to be Rafa in 3!

I would certainly hope!

Although, recently Rafa has been facing players who take it upon themselves to play the best match of their lives against him. LOL.

It is the cross that he (and Fed) bears - to be faced, every day, by someone just dying to win against the top player of the world! ...which only makes Rafa's and Fed's achievements even more remarkable.

I never thought of it in that way. How true!

That's really true. I remember watching Phau play Roger in Estoril, and watched him here live against Rafa. He was trying stuff that was just insane.

This is gonna be ugly. Nadal is pretty ruthless with early round opponents. He's not like Federer, who at least tries to make it look pretty.

I'm glad Zvonareva is finishing this off quickly! I want to watch Rafa already!

Not always. he's started slow many times.

Yeah, but that won't start until 9 either.

Compare this with Sky+ - they start with their pre-match feature, analysis and interviews half an hr before the match.

No, I'm watching it there right now. they actually showed Rafa's presser right before. haha.
