Australian Open Tennis 2015

Draw has been made. Djokovic and Wawrinka seeded to meet in semi final as are Federer and Nadal. Federer and/or Nadal may not even get that far, Murray is in that half of the draw too but seeded to face Dimitrov in Round of 16. Nadal has an awkward 1st round match against Youzhny.

Vamos Rafa!!!

Nadal in big trouble. He took the 1st set comfortably enough but Smyczek has taken the 3rd set in a tie-break to go 2-1 up. Nadal looks very rusty and is blowing hard already.

As usual when Nadal is playing shite there is an excuse. Seemingly he has a stomach bug or something like that.

Is this not nadalā€™s traditional time to piss off for ā€˜training campā€™?

Nadal is a goner.

Looks like I may have jumped the gun a bit.

You can do it, Rafa!

Vamos :smiley:

4th set Rafa. Hopefully he will see it out now.

Nadal wins 4th set

Usual tricks from Nadal getting the trainer out to break up the rhythm of an opponent on top. Sportsmanship and upholding traditional values of the game are just not in Nadalā€™s lexicon. The stomach bug/dizziness now appear to have magically disappeared.

He must have wolverine blood like Heaslip.

I feel this could be the one last grand slam win Roger craves. i dearly hope he wins, but I dearly hope itā€™s not his last.

Game, set and match!

Vamos!

Now he just has to get past the urine sampleā€¦

Extraordinary sportsmanship from Smyczek in the last game. Nadal was whinging about someone shouting out in the crowd as he missed with his first serve. Smyzcek told him to take another first serve. Contrast that to Nadal getting the trainer out for alleged stomach bug and dizziness when Smyczek was well on top and in the zone.

How many successive slams has Federer played in now? Must be all the drugs heā€™s taking.

Shitting yourself at the prospect of Rafa purging Federer again?

Did he really? There is some hope for professional sport.:clap::clap:
Christ, Nadal annoys me
