  3. So looks like a proper cat fight going on here between Native, Mary, Augusta and nadline.

    Get your claws out ladies and pounce on each other 😉

    vamosrafa and hawkeye are playing supporting characters as this is a ladies dominated film.

    It would be great to have nadline and native spend a day together . I am sure it can be a movie for the ages.

  5. Every time I hear the Wimbledon signature tune I well up and almost burst into tears because of what’s happened to Rafa over the last 4 years.

  9. native says “I also don’t spend time with people who presume to be true blue Rafa fans, yet attack others in his name”. How does she live with herself?

  10. native says “Unfortunately I only spend time with people who are respectful of the opinions of others, who engage in reasonable discussions with an open mind and who are not rigid and narrow minded”.
    native has discovered a way of not spending time with herself. Amazing!

  14. Saw this out of context tweet from Ricky run across the ESPN broadcast tonight during the Nole match…

    Federer says clearly Rafa has some work to do especially in practise.

    LOL

      • Ricky left off the rest of Federer’s sentence which was something to the effect of…

        Clearly Rafa has some work to do especially in practise because that’s how he’s been able to recover his best form in the past.

        But Tricky Ricky is looking for the optimal sound bite to maximize peak reaction (like today’s media is wont).

        Got him on ESPN in 140 characters or less!!!

  16. Q. I was wondering if you could compare your 2008 final with Rafa and the one with Novak in 2014?

    ROGER FEDERER: Great question, yeah. Go ahead.

    Q. In terms of match quality, excitement, and which was more memorable for the fans, in your opinion.

    ROGER FEDERER: Well, for the Novak fans, the one last year, and for the Rafa fans the one in 2008 (smiling). My fans probably want to forget both.
    I don’t know. Probably there was more at stake in the ’08 final. I was going for my sixth, and Rafa for his first, I think. Novak was already going for his second, I think. I’m not sure.
    There was probably a little bit more on the line in terms of, you know, milestones, let’s say, in ’08. Coming back from two sets to love, in the dark at the end, it was a bit more epic. But last year also was very thrilling.

    It cracks me up the self deprecating way Federer purports to “not be sure” when it comes to facts about his major rivals. As if.

    He does the same thing when he is poised to break another record for the history books.

    • Sorry, Shireling.
      With Krygios telling the umpire that rules don’t apply to Rafa because he takes 30 seconds between serve every time and nothing is done, the presenter, Clare Balding, asked McEnroe if Rafa is given treatment and McEnroe said Rafa does get special treatment but he is a credit to the sport and he is just going through his routine not meaning to disrupt his opponent and the players don’t mind it also adds to the atmosphere as you can hear a pin drop in anticipation of his serve. He also said they should use a shot clock to enforce the rule fairly.

  20. The Spain Davis Cup team:
    David Ferrer
    Pablo Andujar
    David Marrero (doubles)
    Marc Lopez (doubles)

    Genny: ” Conchita’s said that David is still injured but he’ll try his best to play, as wants to support her at this moment. …Daniel Gimeno-Traver will also be there in case Ferru can’t play.”
    Conchita: “Rafa’s going through a difficult time and he doesn’t see himself strong enough to go to this tie.”
