Anyone watch Nadal get pummelled last night by Rosol? Some incredible tennis from the no.100 in the world! :eek:

the poms are going to get their hopes now cos Nadal was in Murray's half of the draw! :lol:

Didnt see it but that is just brilliant... well done Rosol :clap:

I love Forrest Gump

My wife is really miffed. She's a huge Nadal fan.

I don't mind too much. I'm a Federer fan. I just hope he can work he's way past Djokovic and he could well take a 7th title home.

Love is giving someone what they most need, when they least deserve it at great personal cost

To beat Nadal takes one amazingly brave effort.

Awesome!

Hope he makes this count!

tell you what if he plays like that again he will go a long way - but I don't know if he can sustain that level.

If Rosol was a cyclist he'd be standing accused of doping this morning.

I watched the first set last night, went to bed to get up early for my ride thus morn, got back looked at the papers and realized I missed something special.

Just watched the replay. That hitting and winners was extra ordinary. Granted Rafael didnt play well but he was never allowed into the match.

Vamos (home) Rafa!

Agree with that! It really was something else - he was hitting 90mph groundstroke winners cm's from the lines time after time after time. Made me think of Herchel Gibbs talking about that 434 innings he played against Oz when he was just filled with a wierd kind of invincibility and self belief - and knew that he could sustain another level on that night.
