I doubt about Nadal's knees. He should have finished the match against Murray at AO! He had to do it! He ain't my hero any more.

Well, Nadal, devil (church) doesn't like you. But people do. Once in chess there was a devil favoured- Kasparov, here in tennis this Federer. Let them win (Fed,Murray,Sod/Mats,Djoky), but we will prefer pure people like you and Davydenko.

Hola, Buenas Tardes, Rafael. How's the 'dias' been for you. The condition would otherwise be most unfortunable had you kept competing. Just take it lightly and return one day. Noches, (july30.09)
