Everything’s Comin’ Up This Guy

So you’re playing a guy, who last year, beat Verdasco on a hard court, Nole in straight sets at the French, and was the only guy without Dick in his name to take a set off Fed on grass. He’s won two 500 tournaments in his life, and just a couple weeks ago made the quarters of Monte Carlo. You better make sure to bring your A game, right?

Nah, you let him win consecutive points twice all first set, and pommel him into the ground until he’s beating himself. 6-1, 6-3. It should probably be an event when someone manages to take a set off this freak. I haven’t the slightest idea how anyone is even going to touch him in a 5 set situation.

    Hmm, seing his match against Victor today it’s hard to disagree. But then again, last year I’d have said the same about taking a set of him on clay, sign it with my blood and bet my first unborn child on it. And then we all remember what happened so now I’ll just wait quietly and try not to get my hopes up.
    Anyway Ernie/Rafa SF to happen! Tennis gods?
