....being asked whether they would rather play Roger or Rafa.

Lub. says he would always choose to play Rafa. Feels Roger reads his game so
well and is so unpredictable that he never knows what he is going to do and
he has so many ways to hurt him. With Rafa he knows exactly what he is going
to do...it is just a question as to whether he can execute his plan well
enough to counter.

Mirnyi says he would rather play Federer. He says that with Roger is is so
exciting like getting a new computer game....it is always going to be fun,
you will see something new or improvised that will make you stand back and
admire. Win or lose you leave with a sense of awe. With Rafa, you get a
physical encounter.....win or lose you know it is going to be as boring as
hell.

Lol. Nothing new there then! :)

Also, Ljube bending down to Roger is hardly newsworthy...

That is exactly what he said. Don't take it to heart.

If so, then that was rather stupid statement from Mirnyi.

Also explains why Fed won so much. They were busy lining up to bend over
for Roger...

And also how Nadal wins....boring people to tears before they even get on
the court? ;)

Sounds as though they interpreted the question in different ways: more
comfortable trying to beat vs. more enjoyable to play.

Guess that's why Nadal beat him twice in straights, the other one on
grass too...

face it, fed's generation never miss an opportunity to suck his cock...

And they're really pissed that Nadal easily beats the hero of their
generation. Boo-hoo.

Apparently Mirnyi enjoys losing to Roger more...

Who knows, might even love losing to Roger Moore.

I don't recall him saying the 'boring' bit at the end, think you
wanted to hear that, they did say the rest though.

I promise you he did say "win or lose you know it is going to be
boring"....I may have added the "as hell"....same gist! ;)

Apology accepted.

On the up side, among the sports writers they interviewed was the guy from
the Daily Mail who said on national television that Nadal "never loses when
he is healthy"! How I laughed.

Obviously, since you can't play like Nadal.

Mirny says: "With Rafa, you get a physical encounter.....win or lose

you know it is going to be as boring as hell."

I thought it was just boring from a viewers standpoint. I guess it's
also true for the players who face Nadal.

It was the spot on truth as we ALL know. Even you.

There are only two types ... those that admit it and those that don't.

Well, the Spanish contingent may be ass kissers but they also have no
talent. It's not like Verdasco or Almagro are ever going to beat Nadal
in a big match anyway.
