Nadal is not beating a motivated Federer on grass.

Nadal is playing better than ever. Federer is not. Look at how close the match was last year.

7–6, 4–6, 7–6, 2–6, 6–2

As long as Nadal's knees hold up, he'll give Roger a run for his money.

Federer gave Nadal a run for his money at last year's French as well, but got absolutely smoked this year. I think Federer wins this thing in a waltz and Nadal won't see the final.

I look at that example as further evidence that Federer still isn't quite 100%.

I still don't think it matters. He starts ironing the unforced errors back out and he kills Nadal on all surfaces besides clay.

for those with DirecTV, you can watch a mix channel of all courts or each individual court. channels are in the 700s. may or may not be in HD.

I can't get DirectTV.....too many trees,so I have to watch on ESPN2HD. My only problem with ESPN is they feel like they have to every second of the William sisters' every single match. So I'm rooting for their early exit. I would like to see Federer, Roddick or Safin on the men's and Ivonavic, Sharapova or Valdasova on the women's.

Yeah, this is a little tight. Uh oh indeed.

EDIT: Ana survives. Whew. It would be a shame to lose my bet before the first weekend.

10-8 in the final set. Almost blew it there.

[volfanbill]

close call for ana, but she sure looks good in white...

Djoko got his arrogant arse handed to him. Very entertaining.

[volfanbill]

i'm not about to get optimistic about his chances, but with Davydenko losing early AGAIN yesterday, Roddick's chances improved greatly. It went from .03% chance to around .06% according to my odds.

[volfanbill]

One of the most promising men's up and comers is giving Nadal waaaaay more than he wants this early in the tourney...

[volfanbill]

Maria looks absolutely awful right now and is in serious danger of losing in straight sets. If she wants to be one of the alltime best, she needs to learn how to play when her A game isn't on.

Thank God I have the volume on the TV off so I don't have to hear her emoting. She really is insufferable.
