Members DramatistDreamer Posted April 24, 2015 Members Share Posted April 24, 2015 For the moment, it sure seems as if Fogs has Rafa's number! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 11, 2015 Members Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Did anyone see that match?! Rafa looked so off, his movement was just so bad. I know people often scoff when Rafa underplays his chances but I think he does truly doubt himself sometimes, especially now. I think someone (his Uncle Toni Nadal?) said that Rafa was experiencing an existential lack of confidence (or something like that). I thought it was a bluff, to take some of the pressure off but I'm thinking there is some truth to that statement. Andy Murray, who came out aggressive, quickly picked up on Rafa's lack of confidence and his lack of adequate movement/footwork and 'went to town', picking Rafa apart. Now that Murray has won 2 clay court titles in two weeks, after never having won a title on clay, I wonder whether people will credit MoMo for these wins as much as people liked to blame her for his early losses for like, the past several months? Rome is going to be interesting given the variables on the Men's side and the fact that the Women's Draw looks like one giant clusterf uck.

Members Soapsuds Posted May 11, 2015 Members Share Posted May 11, 2015 I saw the match and thought Rafa played pretty badly. He is having a lot of bad days…too bad it wasn't against Berdych…LOL That said the French Open is going to be very interesting this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 15, 2015 Members Share Posted May 15, 2015 It's just been announced that Pennetta and Fognini are to be married next year. I hope Flavia knows what she's in for. Supposedly, it's been alleged that Fognini is more laid back off court but can't he control his behavior better than that on court? We know he went on to play Rome so he has not been suspended any matches or tournaments. Was he even fined for this? Why am I just hearing about this today?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 17, 2015 Members Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) Well, Novak certainly seemed as though nothing could stop him in this tournament--maybe except for a champagne bottle cork. //v.cdn.vine.co/r/videos/B75C442F351211762604821946368_3499f357095.3.1.6905867299085131832.mp4?versionId=0kAxy_H38W_38TFwK0uiA2gkK0qCI0fA Edited May 18, 2015 by DramatistDreamer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
