AO - Round 3
I want to personally thank Sharapova, Hingis and Nalbandian for providing TSN/ESPN 2 with no other option than to cover the Nadal/Wawrinka match. Granted it wasn't exactly one of Rafa's most eventful or challenging matches, but I am more than happy watching him obtain a quick and relatively easy victory. Unfortunately for him, I'm certain Uncle Tony will make him pay for that cakewalk today with a long and gruelling practice session - I saw that look he gave after the double fault - Rafa, you be in big trouble.
Quote of the match, from
niviene....
Niviene: Rafael just brings so much joy to everyone.
Me: So he's like Santa Claus?
Niviene: He's better than Santa Claus.
"Better than Santa Claus". Wow, I can think of a million children that might want to argue that one but an almost equal if not higher number of women and men who would wholeheartedly agree. *insert naughty and extremely cheesy comments about Rafa, exchanging gifts, coming down chimneys, etc. etc.*
With the clearly one-sided match numbing its audience, TSN/ESPN 2 desperately searched for anything controversial to keep the viewers' attention. They decided to replay "the point" from the Nadal/Kohlschreiber match. Umm, Philipp, what were you thinking??? *shakes head* Trying to take out Rafa by smashing returns directly into his left hand and upper body. Have you gone completely mad??? Do you have any idea who you are dealing with??? Have you seen Nadal's "family"? *cough* Spanish Mafia* cough* Let's just say "fishing" isn't the only thing being done in Sa Punta. If I were you, Phil, I'd be on my guard. It'll happen when you least expect it. And if it is not Don Sebastien and co., it could be anyone of us Nadal fans. We've got our eyes on you. You can run, but you can't hide. Mwuahaha.
