Glad to see Rafa's intensity is back up.
Now I'll wait for Rosol to lose his R1 match so I don't have to hear about him anymore.

Youzhny knows he has no chance at winning but the professional in him says to keep on fighting. Gotta love the spirit.

No worries, mate. Make sure to see pick someone solid to take you past round 1

I want to see Nadal get challanged first. Then we'll have a pretty good indication of where he really is at. Nadal breaks and leads 4-2, final set.

Nadal wins. Got better with every set. Youzhny poor throughout. All in all, Rafa looked pretty good. Should be interesting with his next matches.

Good first round from the King, you can see how happy he is to have a match under his belt one round at a time.

I'm sure you're gonna do great this season, even better than last one. That's a good day 1 pick. Good luck!
I hope Dr Ivo wins his first match.

So Nadal gets his 1st win of the season. If he can up his game in next rounds, I think he has a chance at Double Career Slam.

Me neither. I picked him to win the first two and then lose to Rosol. Not so sure now, with this performance. Expected Youzhny to take at least a set.

Rosol is currently in a pretty tight R1 match. May not survive it!

Based on some meaningless exho match a win against a player terribly out of form?

Nah, I'm still not convinced he can win the whole thing.
If he can consistently back it up, then I'll start.
Very happy with today's performance though...
That's funny..... I would think fluke more with a 12-0 loss record finally winning....

True, he's down 5-2 in 3rd set tb...

Oh cut the crap already!
He is pretty much a lock for the final unless somebody like Rosol can get hot on a slow hc which I very much doubt.
You can't rule Nadal out in any slam unless it is W these days. People need to learn that lesson already. It is still early and anything can happen but I would be very surprised if Nadal loses early.

Yep, down 2 sets to 1 now.

Hey listen you, I'm entitled to my opinion, if you don't like it stiff ****.
I didn't say he'd lose early either, I said I'm still not convinced he can win it and after 1 match against a washed up 32 year old, there is still a long way to go.

Nadal continues his march toward 18 slam titles by the age of 30, bye bye Noserer.
Lucky I placed my bet before the match when Nadal was 9-1 at my betting agency, because you watch as all the sheep place their bets now that their eyes have been opened (and Nadal will probably be only 5-1 now).
