Oh, and was that not Nadal, who bumped into Rosol? It must have felt great, being under-height...
Rosol ALSO said, that some days he knows he vill be beaten by a No 500 player. If Rafa cannot deliver, it is a bad luck, if someone else can't they are rubbish...Said by those, who will never succeed in anything...At least Olayinka is is pretty, so she is excused!
It s the 45 min. Break for roof gave Rosol energy and fresh spirit for the 5th set. And Nadal flow of energy was suddenly broken. Actually Nadal was unlucky on that day, he did not play well as usual, especially when he failed near the net.
Mr super hero (Rosol) has some kinda krip tonight playing with Kohlschreiber ha ,,,,,, after being so aggressive playing with rafa ,,,, I really dont no wt happened to Rafa ,,,,, but I guess if dat Rosol plays Novak or even Tsonga both will never let him win ,,,,, but sadly tough luck 4 Rafa : (
I had hopes last year at Wimbledon that, we couldve had a rematch after that vintage Federer performance in French Open semis before that. I didn't mind him losing yet again in the final, could've happened if he was the same age as.Nadal but that loss against Tsonga was just plain annoying, as it followed an uninspiring semi final with Novak at his best.
Nadals comment were right when he said Rosol was arrogant and even Rosols on words killed him. In the interview after beating Rafa he felt like a God and said he can beat anyone and even after he lost today he still said the same thing. Clearly its not true as he didnt win today. All his energy and arrogance was sent on Nadal. Som1 needs to teach him about publice performance..
To be fair anyone on Novaks side of the draw last year wouldn't have made the final the way he was on form, so if nadal was on that side I would say the last couple of finals would have ben novak and federer.
@Scott, man, I am the biggest Federer supporter you'd find but it's been quite obvious lately that he's been messing up under pressure a lot against Novak and Nadal through his own silly faults. Remember against Tsonga last year? He looked so effortless even in that loss, the grace is still there but he has a tendency to become complacent he is a couple of sets up, the Tsonga match painted a clear picture of his recent attempts at salvaging the number one spot back again, taking it too easy and losing silly points crucial moments which wouldn't have happened, say, about 3 years ago. Then there's the dreaded backhand slices issue, he barely can keep them up anymore. But he is still the most attractive player to watch. Why do you think hardcore Nadal fans get jealous? For me, after last year's disappointment, not sure if he would manage another Grandslam win? I would love him to.
Risalat what's wrong with federer? He is the third on the consistent scale behind nadal and Novak, He still gets to semis and finals of tournaments.
same old story as expected. am not surprised at all. the same thing happened many times before. this time it was rafa's unlucky day. and the rest are thanking rosol for it.
Each miracle lasts a few days and Rosol's lasted 2 days. It seems Kohlschreiber is in great form, he defeated Nadal and now Rosol, for me it is pleasant surprise. I wonder if Nadal watched this match, if yes, he should be very angry on himself for he allowed to Rosol to eliminate him.
Well now we know - one hit wonder, he would have beaten Roger also - not sure about Novak though. What a class player Philip is though, really enjoyed his game. But again I ask where is the energy and the adrenalin from Thursday's match? strange! very subdued today, and low on energy! and for kenny who asked why he is not on centre court - he was only on centre because he was playing Rafa. Same if Rafa had come through, Philip would have played on centre today. So sorry Rosul didn't meet roger, if he almost lost to the frenchman and battled to beat him, Rosul would have creamed him like he did Rafa.
If he can maintain the tenacity that he showed against Nadal, I won't be surprised if Rosol ends up in the top 30 by the end of 2013 and a win today would've been reassuring. But the way he played today, it can go either way. I'm sure we all want him to prosper
What a complete and shock this result is.........NOT! Star extinguished - like I've stated, there's a reason he is ranked 100! I'm guessing that's the last we'll hear of Mr....oops forgotten him already!
Now the real question is where does Rosol go from here? we will see how he does after this.
That's it finita la comedia. Had Rosol gone trough he would have proved that prevailing Nadal was not a one off thing. Right now it seems he bought the farm for nothing.
Just watching the Rosol's match, but very disappointed.. he was playing as true number 100, not the man who has beaten Nadal in the 2nd round...
Yeah I would agree nadal didn't look like he was all there, to me what hurt nadal in the 5 set and the same result could of still happened is the delay with the roof.
@Scott, He would probably have beaten Federer, narrowly, but I just don't see it against Novak with him being in the form of his life, he would've made Rosol play for it, be damn sure he would've made him think. It just looked too easy against Nadal apart from one set (6-2). I hadn't seen Nadal that subdued in a long long time. I can't wait for US OPEN this year, need me a vicious dose of Novak-Nadal final, also can't rule out Federer and Del Potro
why is rorol not playing centre court???? nadal would b if he won ,?????
