Can't watch it but will follow on the internet. I'm in a time warp and place were tennis apathy prevails.
Not sure if physical ailments will eliminate Nadal or not. Certainly the surface is unkind to anyone who demands so much of himself physically as does Nadal.
That was quite the shot he made in his first round match. lol I read about it in the Khaleej Times (Abu Dhabi). Have not seen it yet... Hold that statement. I just took a look at it on Sports Illustrated. What an amazing shot. I never hit one between my legs like that.
