[Love Game]

[Ralph]

I see the games have started already. Took a while to challenge that.

Hi there semi-pro! What do you mean?

I like your avatar. The fact that you've a picture of somebody smiling (is the Gulbis?) leads one to think you're a friendly happy person!

 

[babbette]

[Breaker]

Cheering for a double fault, Nadal haters continue to sink to new lows.

 

[Totai]

[babbette]

[Ralph]

Hope DelPo can fight through his injury today...

Yep, Gulbis.

And about your previous comment I found funny. When you said games have started, I thought you were referring to Nadals games (ie, time wasting, long challenges ect)...ironically it came as he made that lengthy challenge! Lol

iI'm a nadal lover.

 

[lonux]

Check ABC. Usually Ch 7.

 

[Ralph]

I think my namesake is nervous.

 

[bezs]

D'oh broken

 

[Omega_7000]

Are you sure you've the right player there?

Errr who had a wrist surgery & was out for 8 months?

 

[batz]

Break for Delpo - quite a few UE from His Rafaness.

 

[Ralph]

Yep, Gulbis.

You thought right then.

 

[abmk]

this is how their USO match started IIRC ...

delpo breaks to go up 2-0

 

[ReturnWinner]

The timewaster got broken! He missed several shots as tried to be very agressive.

 

[Ralph]

Errr who had a wrist surgery & was out for 8 months?

Sorry, I thought you meant another injury he'd picked up even more recently, in this tournament, something I didn't know of.

 

[DownTheLine]

Delpo 2-0 30-15

 

[Love Game]

UEs: Rafa 7; Delpo 3

 

[ReturnWinner]

Rafa knows Del Potro is very solid and his normal massive moonballs are not going to work as against the most players so is being very agressive.

 

[iriraz]

Nadal looks like he is still asleep.Certainly he is not used to play at 11 in the morning

 

[abmk]

delpo consolidates ! 3-0

 

[Totai]

rafa in 3 sets

 

[babbette]

feel free to show up anytime now rafa.

 

[Bud]

Somebody go out there and shake Rafa awake. He's playing like absolute rubbish.

Delpo has done nothing but get a bunch of balls back in play and Rafa is netting them or missing by a mile.

 

[rainingaces]

Nadal looks like he is still asleep.Certainly he is not used to play at 11 in the morning

already a excuse LOL. If he is not injured he is tierd awwwww poor nads :twisted:

If he can't get used to a time change being there for 2 weeks he doesn't deserve to win.

 

[Araxen]

Wow, the excuses are already starting. I bet Nadal has been up since 6 this morning and he's had plenty of time to wake up.

 

[World Beater]

rafa just looks lost...doesnt know what to do.

delpo isnt even playing close to his peak.

 

[Tchocky]

Rafa looks really bad. Looks like a Delpo/Nole final.

 

[DownTheLine]

already a excuse LOL. If he is not injured he is tierd awwwww poor nads :twisted:

or his v-bone aches

 

[OddJack]

Can Delpo pull a Karlovic?

I say not, Nadal is making lots of UE's in all his matches, and lots of double Fs as well... he's not in good shape

 

[iriraz]

already a excuse LOL. If he is not injured he is tierd awwwww poor nads :twisted:

It`s not an excuse,it`s a fact.He played doubles last evening and certainly didn`t go early to bed.And at 11am u rarely get any matches.
Probably he will start playing better as the match goes on

 

[TMF]

DP is not Karlovic. He can beat Nadal from the baseline.

Oh, he also has a backhand(Ivo doesn't).

 

[Love Game]

Now that Delpo's up a break 3-0, did someone ask about where being broadcast? KABC

 

[Bud]

Rafa looks really bad. Looks like a Delpo/Nole final.

If Rafa continues playing at this level, I'd prefer a Djokovic/Delpo final

 

[rommil]

Time to call for the trainer.....

 

[Totai]

New nickname for Delpo: The Boss
