[tented]

The crowd is going bananas. I love it! (And was that Eric Bana?)

 

[Moxie]

ever the optimist, Rafa sent off racquets to the stringer.

 

[Moxie]

Love Eric Bana.

He has croatian roots, mother or father not sure. Eric Bana.

 

[Moxie]

Nifty factoid there, DF.

Yes it was

 

[Moxie]

What did I say? Never give up, never give in.

 

[tented]

I. DO. NOT. BELIEVE. IT!!

 

[don_fabio]

So we go to the 4th now. Well earned by Rafa, typical fight from him, was to be expected and Medvedev fell in that trap.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

It was a Miracle...clutching my 2008 circa rosary beads blessed by the Pope.
Same ones I used in the Wimbledon final 2008

 

[Moxie]

Such a bummer that it could be 2 sets, but I'll try to be like Edith Piaf here et regrette rien.

 

[Moxie]

Keep working them beads, Margaret.

 

[tented]

Well, folks, we're officially on the Rafa-coaster. We've ridden this baby before, no?

 

[Moxie]

It's all about the suffering.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Keep working them beads, Margaret.

Will do

 

[don_fabio]

How do they look? Who has more gas left?

 

[Moxie]

10 years age difference. Do the math. But right now, Rafa looks better.

 

[don_fabio]

Margaret why are you suffering typing from the thread.. Just join chat on the main page of forum. Easy.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Nadal just needs to break…

 

[don_fabio]

Or don't change anything since Rafa started to get back into the match lol
