pretty good rally, but then rafa holds
the ball on his racket, hits winner while andy looks on.

i'm starting to feel sorry for andy
 
There is *always* a brass band in a bullring, to play pasodobles, announce the different sections of the bullfight, etc.

are they the ones honking the horns?
the car-type horns?

omg rafa too in the zone
andy loses serve again.
rafa serving 3-0

Nope, those are some people in the crowd, I saw some USA supporters in the crowd using those kind of horns too, these are more typical of soccer matches than of bullfights.

It is a brass band with trombones, trumpets, cornets and drums.
 
they just showed rafa's mom.

her son is giving a clay clinic right now 5-0

about to serve up a bagel.
wonder how long it's been since andy had one of those?

Either the court is killing Andy's serve or Rafa has it completely figured out. Fourth consecutive break, at love this time.
 
Crowd chanting "torero, torero." One little kid asking for "las orejas" (the ears.) When a bullfighter makes a good performance he gets one ear, two ears or both ears and the tail of the bull as reward, depending how good it was. The crowd wave white handkerchiefs to ask for a bullfighter to be rewarded by the president of the bullfight.
 
^^ Eh, yeah, thanks, Atherton2003.

So, what's the record of breaks of serve against Roddick? I count 5 already.
 
andy's taking a ride on the rafa express

and he just wants it to stop so he can get off.

The Madrid crowd is great. Roddick asked the uS fans to cheer for him, and then the whole stadium was chanting roddick, Roddick. Such a great atmosphnere
 
Roddick looks beaten shame really.

Don't think Rafa is playing fantastically but his point construction is so much better on clay. You feel a bit cheated when Andy wins with a good serve even though it's just as valid.
