Hi Imelda.Sad, isnt it ? I watched the last set.. She is not fit.. She breathed heavily.. Those strange injuries and the good life in Calif. have made their damage.. She has to focus on tennis and work hard..What do you think ? But then what to do about the Russian girls ? You beat one, another pops up !! It s raining Russian tennis player girls !! ------------------------- Have you wathced Federer - Karlovic or Fed - Tomic matches ? Fed looks so fit and plays his great game... Goodness.. He is the man whose picture is in the attic..He sweated only in the last set in the Tomic match !!! Wonder what he s gonna do vs Del Potro.. * *

Hi Serin! Indeed it WAS sad to watch Serena. She seemed so listless. VERY unconcentrated and inconsistant. At 30 years old, I know she can't play forever, but I was hoping for at least an appearance in the final. I feel like Rip van Winkle? I hardly know any of the players in womans tennis anymore! LOL They are sprouting up like weeds! And YESSSSSSS... Roger Federer = Dorian Grey!! HAHAHAHAHA... picture in the attic. ;D I bet he'll be sweating vs Del Potro though. Good grief, that guy is really something! He seems to be completely recovered from his wrist injury, which is good. I Kind of like his game I think. On the other hand, you just HAVE to hand it to Roger..I mean, he's as cool as a cucumber and just as dangerous as ever. Let's hear it for the oldies! I can't even STAND to watch Djokovic. hee hee.. at least Lleyton took a set off him yesterday. Is THIS what I have to endure? Being happy that someone took a SET off him? Oh woe is me!! Murray is also looking pretty good don't you think? That's a good thing that he has Lendl as his coach. Wouldn't it be ironic if Lendl coached Murray to a Wimbledon victory? I remember how FIXATED Lendl was on winning Wimby..he never did. I used to feel sorry for him. He wanted it SOOOOOO badly. Clijsters up 5-2 and serving for the 1st set vs. Wozniaki!!! GO KIM!!!

Imeldaaaaa.. Rafa wins the quarterfinal in 4 hours.. The first set was scary..Berdych did play his best.. But Rafa kept raising his game, warming up and "ripping the heart of Berdych and showing it to him".. Hahahaha.. Epic point : Amazing smash : There were some terrible calls by the line judges !!! Goodness, now he 's gonna face Federer in the semis.. He must be so tired.. Remember 2009.. He played a 5-hour semi against Verdasco and later played the final to Federer and won.. Ah, what a trophy ceremony that was..Federer was crying, everybody including Rafa were trying to console him.. Any chance to see the same scene this year I watched Fed's match vs Del Potro.. He is in top form, I'm afraid.He finished Delpo off in straight sets.. Frankly, Fed had the worst draw imo. He had all the ace-machine towers but he beat each of them in 3 sets..I fear Rafa will have a hard time against him, if Fed doesnt have that "Rafa symptom in his mind".. ;D Great passing shots in the 4th set..OH MY !! Keep them coming Rafa !!!!!

So glad that Kim won.. You Know Rafa watched her match ? I guess they are good friends.. Hoope she wins.. OI Imelda.. I cant stand that Djok. either..I just cant watch him... Rafa has to think of something to get rid of him.. ;D .. Would nt it be great if Ferrer does a 5 setter or even better , beats him tomorrow? Murray will proably beat the Jaapnese guy and will be in the semis.. Rafa vs Roger !! Thursday !! Fed seemed to have the worst draw but come to think of it, all those ace-machine guys turned into his lambs , which is a usual case with Federer.. ;D Hope to see an on-fire Rafa in the semis..VAMOS CAMPEON ! Today, Rafa beats Berdych in quarterfinals, Aussie Open 2012 *

Oh dear, oh dear.. there wasn't even enough time to SAVOUR his win over Roger. Now the dreaded Djokovic looms...pfffffffft... I was SO hoping that Murray would be able to step up to the plate. From what I saw? I don't think that Djokovic was all THAT tired. Tactics to get into Murrays head? ( but I must admit to being overly suspicious of Djokovic.. so don't mind me. ;D )

Imelda.. Love Rafa's pre-final presser..He is cheeky ..Just read these :
about the balls Djok doesnt like: "seems like he cannot do one winner"
gREAT GREAT ANSWER :
Q. Novak has been having some trouble with breathing in the last two matches. Do you think it'll be a factor tomorrow and something you can take advantage of?
RAFAEL NADAL: It's funny, no? I saw the match yesterday on the TV on the Channel 7 when he was in the fifth set moving fantastically well, and they show images from two hours fifty before and seems like he was destroyed. Two hours fifty later he was in perfect condition.
So is difficult to imagine that he has these problems. I don't know.
Here is the full transcript of Rafa's presser :
