Wimbledon 2013 June 24-July 7

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nothing like managing expectations:

Virginia Wade talking about facing Serena, Sue Barker saying she has the ability to beat them all.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Ferrer is up 3-0 against Alund. What a joke having him seeded ahead of Nadal.

David Ferrer is up 3-0 against Alund. What a joke having him seeded ahead of Nadal.

I argued that with my mate yesterday, but on balance of what i saw of Nadal yesterday i think it was probably an accurate measurement.
We can talk up Steve Darsis all we like the fact remains, Nadal was a car crash yesterday....and even remotely fit and on form would have punished Darsis for the naivety in his play....look at the amount of times Darsis rushed to the net to finish off points....on any other day that's suicide against Nadal......he produced some amazing winners and was toe to toe on some brilliant rallies although this was clearly against someone who could not trust the dexterity of their own body.

Rosol was more of a shock because i don't think Nadal was anywhere near as bad last year....and Rosol's serving was just robotically efficient

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And David Ferrer takes the first set 6-1.
