custom made courts for him....

Wake me up when he actually meets someone who knows how to play tennis.

 

[scarecrows]

Nadal looked on fire

Boring courts, boring match, boring sport.

Thankfully (turns into Brentos for a minute) I have 900 satellite channels, 100 radio stations and other forums I can do instead of watch dross like this on a regular basis.

IW always takes Nadal's shots incredibly well. Slow yet still very responsive to topspin, so his shots explode upwards and forwards.

 

[Sunset of Age]

Always difficult to judge a player's form when playing against a journeyman, but Nadal looked in fine form to me. Very fine form.
As his game is tailor-made for these courts (and his stats/results in the past six years or so clearly indicate this), he's my favourite to win this tournament.

Yes you may laugh at me when I turn out to be wrong.

 

[allpro]

nadal looking crisp and motivated. excellent start.

 

[GSMnadal]

19-5 W/UE ratio for Rafa

A tennis cyclone just wipe Indian Wells.

I knew it before the match anyway : I had made him my favorite for the tournament.

Clay death said "we don't know his form, can't bet on him, great opportunity for Fed" blablabla

[Rovi]

Well, he's right, you never know. I had my doubts after that loss to Djokovic, how he would react.

But what I saw from him after that, I knew that he knew he was going to do just fine. He has always played well here, lost a couple matches he should've never lost, otherwise he'd be going for his fourth or fifth title here.

 

[Clay Death]

let it be known that clay death the destroyer is not happy with him.

i am simply not impressed. in fact, i am pissed.

Haters are gonna hate:sport:

RAFA IS BACK:rocker2: :rocker2:

 

[samanosuke]

last few years till he was sinking i wasn't able to watch Mayer playing so I almost forgot how useless and annoying piece of shit he is. Guys like him should be banned from tennis, if for anything those volleys are enough strong reason . Good to see Ellison's face hasn't changed the expression from last year though

 

[shadows]

NID that Nadal would regain a bit of confidence with the claycourt season back in full swing.
