Fight? He's bunging it on, Williams style. Nothing wrong with him.

Felt a bit crook, milked it to break the other bloke's concentration. Typical Euro-trash behaviour by Nadal.

Fight my boy. Dig deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

Heh

Haha I won't bite.

 

[Burgey]

Strained a muscle picking his arse IMHO.

 

[Burgey]

Now Australia Day fireworks so he gets another break. Dodgy as this Spaniard.

 

[Jono]

I've never seen such body language from Rafa. He's gone here

 

[Burgey]

Sad to see a bloke injured like this. Also robs us of a shot at another Roger-Rafa epic.

 

[Johnners]

Ferrer!!

 

[_Ed_]

I hope the fact that Nadal was obviously affected by injury doesn't lead to too much being taken away from Ferrer here. He's played awesomely. He'll be a hell of a handful for Murray as well, IMO.

 

[superkingdave]

Reckon Ferrer will beat Murray in 4 sets tbh. Should be decent odds as well

 

[Jono]

Dreams of a Rafa slam gone

Happy for Ferrer though. Such a consistent player and deserves another Grand Slam semi final appearance on his record.

So Rafa goes...this race will be very interesting. Federer's form hasn't been spectacular either...could see (god forbid) a Scot win for once!

Still backing R-Fed to win though, because he's that good.

 

[Blaze 18]

I dislike Nadal to be honest, but it is a shame that he got knocked out the way he did. Can't see anyone else stopping Federer, really. Number seventeen

"For respect to David Ferrer I won't talk about injury"

WAFG. True gentleman.

 

[Jono]

Journalists at the press conference in shock. If this was Roger they'd have had three injuries and the fact that he was conserving energy for the final to write about and blame on the loss

 

[ohtani's jacket]

I was kind of looking forward to a reprise of Murray falling over like in the ATP Finals, but it's all good.

 

[Dydl]

Esther Vergeer, amazing. Lots of respect to all wheelchair players, but her record...

 

[benchmark00]

The l00ch and ****ael Nadal have the same chance of winning the tournament so suck it, ****s.

Apparently Justine Henin has retired again. Her elbow is too fragile to continue further.
