I thought it was interesting that Nadal's knees were not taped up yesterday.
The doctors have told him to stop using supports on clay surfaces as it could cause untold damage

Another person to really watch for is Verdasco the number 8th seed, who is cruising thru the first two rounds. I believe he is the most improved player this year.

I agree, but he has a mentality problem that he needs to overcome: he had Nadal beaten in Madrid, but he appears to let doubt get the better of him at crucial moments. In any event, you are correct, he is one to watch.

haha most people here are too young to remember that. i still remember that vividly, the way he started serving underhanded against lendl in the semis. that was a pretty amazing run.
i'm not a rafa fan. his antics on the court are annoying to me. he is having a pretty remarkable run the over past couple years though.
i'm a federer fan, and i'm hoping this is the year he pulls it out. hopefully his win over nadal at madrid will fuel is confidence.

Like scratching his ass before every serve. Sprinting to the baseline after the toss. Jumping up and down like he is about to box.

Female tennis should be banned. The grunting is like a public lesbian orgy. If it were the old days, they'd all be burn alive at the stake. Stop the damn grunting!

In the slams the women need to play best of 5 sets from say, QF on.

I'm a Rafa fan, but have you noticed how he arranges his water bottles ? They have to be just so. Connors would have kicked them in to the third row.

Wow. I don't know who to root for now. Both he and Verdasco lost and they were headed for a quarterfinal matchup.

Root for Roddick. Poor guy was even beaten to the altar by Federer.
