  1. Nice comment 'not so' Great Eddie - Just like­ everyone you predict will win actually lose. Serena,­ Tsonga I seem to remember ..... lol - please pick­ Ferrer next round !!!

    From John, on Wed 6 Jun 11:53

  2. I've NEVER seen Nadal destroy anyone like that...17­ straight games? He's on another level.

    From Jason, on Mon 4 Jun 19:53

  3. @Marlon, post #67, Sounds like sour grapes to me.­ You have excuses everytime the player you don't­ like wins. Are you related to Sam or aaydita? Or are­ you one and the same?

    From Great Eddie, on Mon 4 Jun 19:28

  4. Nadul rules the spaniards team of cheaters. He is the­ coach, contador is the goalkeeper and villa is­ team's golgeter. And this team is the property of­ fuentes....the king

    From Sorin, on Mon 4 Jun 19:27

  5. We don't know who is or isn't using drugs.­ They do random drug testing and Rafa has passed all­ tests with flying colors. How do we know that some of­ the other players in the top 10 aren't using some­ PED's. Just like in MLB some players were using the­ "Clear" which was undetectible at the time.­ how do we know they haven't found something new. My­ motto is you are innocent till proven guilty. Vamos!

    From Great Eddie, on Mon 4 Jun 19:24

  6. Why do people have to stoop so low to accuse Rafa of­ using drugs??? Just accept the fact he is good­ disciplined and a true sportsman who is ruthless!!!­ Stop all this nonsense talk of cheating!! Enjoy the­ game and leave us the true fans to celebrate our­ king's dominance otherwise take your negativity­ elsewhere. NADAL rules!!!! Vamos!!!!

    From Barbara, on Mon 4 Jun 18:50

  10. So hungry the KING to win this as he rush through the­ match.. LOVE live the KING:: !!!

  11. @Olayinka.. I forgive you your own stupidity. ­ Operacion Puerto” was a case against a sophisticated­ blood doping operation run by a Spanish doctor named­ Eufemiano Fuentes. It apparently largely involved the­ use of machines to wash out performance enhancing drugs­ from the blood of players. The most notable was EPO a­ drug that increases the amount of red blood cells in­ the body. If you have more red blood cells in your­ system, you can pick up and retain more oxygen,­ significantly increasing your endurance (There is a­ natural substance in the body that tells it to make­ more red blood cells and these drugs mimic the effect­ of that substance. Currently CERA is the hot new drug­ of this variety, because until very recently, it could­ not be detected). During police raids, steroids were­ also found. As I mentioned no tennis players have been­ named to date. However, it has been noted that some­ unnamed professional tennis players are connected to­ it, as this story notes. Here’s an excerpt:

  12. It's a delight to watch rafa sliding on clay

    From Prince, on Mon 4 Jun 18:15

  14. marlon get lost and stop thumbing people down

    From Sara, on Mon 4 Jun 18:10

  15. Double bagel for monaco from the king of clay. No one­ needs a miracle now to know who would win this years­ roland garros. The record wl be broken. Vamos ! Kimg of­ clay.

    From Tanku, on Mon 4 Jun 18:05

  16. I think Nadal is worried about the match being­ suspended from the dark, that's why he's trying­ to finish the match so quickly!

    From espspa2063, on Mon 4 Jun 18:05

  17. Rafa demolished him. That match was too quick, i just­ sat down with my ice cream and the match was over.

    From Mica Mica, on Mon 4 Jun 18:04

  18. thanks mica, i'm watching it!

    From Nora, on Mon 4 Jun 18:03

  19. Soderling who ? Nadal had serious knee problems that­ year , or else 10 Soderlings would not have got past­ Rafa at French open. The same Soderling was blasted by­ Rafa when they met again in French Open. And he is no­ where to be seen after that. And u r talking about­ Soderling putting fear in Rafa. Before and after that­ knee injury Rafa didnt allow anyone to have even a­ sniff of the Trophy at Rolland Garros. I pity­ Roger's french open win. He got it only because­ Rafa was injured. Or else Rafa would have pasted him in­ 2009 final.

    From Ads, on Mon 4 Jun 18:03

  20. ohh my ohh my- sorry dear Monaco my friend "Monaco­ played beautiful today and it is hard to beat him in­ this form but I played my best today ", Nadal will­ say after the game, such a gentleman!
