I couldn't see the match, only the SB - what happened - did PimPim play that good, or did Rafa make a mess of it?

"Claybuster;4258519 }PIMPIM"

Nadal praised Johanssen for his incredible serving and powerful ground strokes. He felt Pimpim could be in the top 10 in future providing he can play as well in the later rounds of tournaments when the pressure is much greater.
Although I am an admirer of Nadal's incredible athleticism,his tactics and mode of play seem to be 'set in stone'.On any surface other than clay,he needs to vary his game,try different things depending on the type of opponent.
No doubt this will come after another couple of years' experience on the Circuit.

Nadal seems to be going through a crisis of confidence right now. Especially when confronting a big hitter. You can never say wininning a slam in one year is dissapointing. But Nadal has got to be hurting right now.

Yes, poor guy... :tears:
I'm afraid the high expectations set on him haven't been improving for his tennis. Hope the guy now gets a break from all that hyping and overexposure he's been enduring lately.

But, ehn: CONGRATS PimPim!!! :worship:
