Hmmm I tried to edit the poll but it went missing. There is no preview function for the poll. O' well. I am hearing reports from the Djokovic camp that he is suffering from hayfever.

Djoko - "He's the greatest player ever and he was too good for me today"

Rafa - "He's the greatest player ever and he was too good for me today, no?"

I've got an ingrowing toe-nail...
(well Rafa's used just about every other foot related medical condition as an excuse so why not this one?)

I did not know where to serve. Sad Laugh

I already beat him on my PS3/Wii on Virtua Tennis/TS4, why do it again on RLA. Very Happy

Regarding feet... The tape was too tight after the MTO.

I reckon it will be a tie.

Djokovic to get locked in his egg chamber.

Nadal to suffer a cramp and get stuck under the table.

Djoko - I fell asleep.
