Roland Garros Day 6

Really enjoying watching Nole tonight, sheer elagance of movement

WOW, DID YOU SEE THAT SHOT

Federer 30 his movememt always going 2 b in decline each year, like in football when u turn 29 u start losing speed, Henry, Van nistlerooy
========================
Carl Lewis made his best 100m time at 30! So Christie at 34! No-one is going to see a drop of pace from 29 to 30 with a naked eye, let alone within a tennis match due to age!!!!

Fed is not moving as fast and freely as he was 3 days ago. That people could not see it in that Ungur match fine but against Mahut it was bloody obvious.

At least you can acknowledge that I wrote about it before Federer lost a set v Ungur. Now that he lost another against an injured Mahut...maybe you can ask yourself questions.

NITB - The media don;t talk about it cause they have no right to do so if the player don;t want to talk about it. A journalist asks him in the presser after the Ungur match and and Fed said he was fine.

He learnt his lesson in Wimby 2010 when he was labelled a bad loser when he said he was not 100% after his defeat v Berdych....despite saying he was "perfect "a few days before.

*Not NITB but HB!

Nitb i could not watch nole's game but i did see the score for firdt 2 sets.

Oh, he was great
I really enjoyed it...
In fact, I enjoyed the entire day, so a lot of matches (bits of them) as it was hard to see them all, it was really a pure feast

Really happy for Gaffin, hey, into the last 16 against Fed !
Then The great tennis from Mahut, then a slug from Stan and Simon, then Nole
I even saw a few points from Ana Ivanovic earlier on, and a few other points from other courts as they were showing them for short periods during changeovers of the main ones I was watching.
It was LOVELY !!!

I nearly forgot!
Thanks for being such a great Haiku host today, wow !

Pleasure is mine

Dr Misha... you've just got to love the guy

And to finish MY day here on a light note, here's a clip that has nothing to do with Roland Garros, just some players wearing suits and answering non-tennis questions. I stumbled across it just now and it made me a bit nostalgic.
