well, quick overview for everyone (so really just you, haha): nadal's ranked no. 1 right now and phau's 136th, and only made it in as a qualifier, but they're definitely neck in neck. he actually just won a game off nadal and is in the lead.

Awesomeeee :]
Yeahh I well want him to win, cause it'd just be such a breakthrough and all.
Cause Nadal's all like urghh and noone can beat him, and quite frankly it's ridiculous.
So :]
That is my opinion.

he's actually playing pretty well, and he's got a hell of a one-handed backhand, and he's been able to hit winners well behind the baseline, which i always find to be commendable, although nadal did just hit his second winner of the match. i don't know, i respect both players at this moment. i'm just waiting for the match to unfold.

i think a big factor is he's a lefty. he can easily get a nice serve right to the body.

Yeahhh exactleyyy.
And how he was trained from a young age to be able to play with both hands must be such an advantage sometimes aswell.

Score now :]?

I AM!! I'm happy for Blake. He's apparently going to be giving tennis lessons to Sasha and Malia Obama. Which is pretty cool. But on another note, I think Federer is slowly starting to get to his old self again. And does anybody think its weird Nadal has been playing with shirts that actually have sleeves? Lol.

no but i think it's weird that nadal's pants actually look more like shorts now rather than capris.

soooo, wimbledon opened today. anyone watching? james blake is the biggest disappointment of my life, although i'm lovin' my man roger. with rafa out, this is all his. the women's draw should be much more interesting though. i really want safina to pull through.

I'm going for Roger all the way even though the whole of Britain is all ZOMG Andy Murray.

I just prefer how Roger plays tennis.

I just watched a cracking match where Beck beat Lopez in 5 sets with 10-8 in the last set.
I love it when tennis is exciting like that.

Sampras annoyed me when he played tennis.

I so want Roger to break his record and I'm so glad he got the French Open this year.

And with Nadal out there's not really anyone to stand in his way.
But Murray has beaten him before but Roger's game on grass is fantastic.
