OK -time to move on to a new tournament I think :) Nole has nothing to defend in Cinci and I think that is good :)

He is obviously feeling some pressure at the moment and that is neither bad nor surprising in my opinion. He's a human being not a robot - and if we look around - almost all players have bad losses, bad tournaments and occasional crises of confidence - it's totally natural and not to be worried about at all in my opinion. Nole is young - he has time- and remember he has already achieved more in his short career than many other players have ever achieved. So let's all relax a bit, and cheer for him in Cinci, with no high expectations - hope he has fun and then we will do the same:)

Ajde Nole :)

Raquel :wavey: Can't you tell Nole you are going to watch him?:awww:That way he won't get upset before the start of the match? Once he is on court he won't know the difference ;) When are you coming back to us - I miss you? :awww:

Misha :hug:

Evening - I see I'm too late for the Tenerife terror....:wavey:

Am currently watching Murray and oh the bliss of the Sky red button - no commentary.

Anyway on Nole - are we downhearted? A resounding No! Shall watch the body language carefully tonight, mind you.

Hope things have calmed down a bit in Belgrade now.

Yes, Hague is his home now (Karadzic).

Murray can kill me. He's back now. And I don't know what to think about Novak. Does he want, does he have edge...

Do you think that will stop the protests? Or will the hardliners now go all out for Tadic & co for catching him and letting him be extradited?

Would expect Nole to be more motivated by the USO and the HC season than by the Olympics. Apart from Agassi, I struggle to name any medallists in tennis TBH.

Guess we've all become too used to the high standards set by Fed in terms of number of matches won per year. By any other measure Nole is still having a terrific year.

Sure have. Presure about him *and Ana & JJ* here is not that much any more. He becomes 5th news here in sports. Back to volleyball, basket, soccer...Hey, he was 19 when he beame national hero (Miami 2007). Of course his form, selfconfidence..had droped a bit. Maybe it is better now. He must know every match is tough match.

As for situation in Serbia I think protests are past tense (for now) but *as we know best* we'll find something to fight about. But you know what - whole situation was in Belgrade only. Organized protest, 'accidentaly' naughty boys... My dad didnt't know anything untill this morning. He was in our country house, resting, he hates TV.

It will be better.
