Nadal will easily make it the quarters... look at his cupcake draw. Murray will beat him then, but I think Nadal will get a set. McEnroe gave Rafa a grade of B for today's first round. He said his ROS needs to improve and he's still misfiring with his FH. Mac also said Nadal is practicing his serve on the outer courts and he saw him cranking some 125+ MPH serves, though he admitted most of them were missing.

Did you also hear McEnroe say that he thinks Nadal is not done winning slams?

McEnroe also said the thinks Kyrgios and Zverev will be slam winners out of the current youngsters.

Has he fallen so far that you're ecstatic when he defeats some stooge in the first round of Wimbledon? I'm sure that both Nadal and Federer were glad to get through quickly today, but let's try to keep the event in perspective. R1 is R1.

Nadal and Federer have sickeningly easy draws up until the QF. If they can't get to the QF stage with those draws they both need to retire.

I heard his comment about Kyrgios, but not about Zverev. Did he say anything else about Zverev's game ? I've heard people talking him up and know he beat Nole last week, but haven't seen too much of him. He's a bit tall at 6'6".

All I heard him say was that he thinks Zverev will be a slam winner. I don't know if he said anything more specific after that.

I agree. Courty, do you think Rafa has a chance against Muzzette? I thought he was playing solidly today, though his UE's on the FH side are still very noticeable.

I also hate Fed's shirt. No collar makes him look cheap out there!

I have no idea. I watched Nadal for about five minutes today which is not enough to get a feel for where his game is at. I think Thomaz Bellucci is cute and have always thought so. He looks like the Karate Kid. If he was more famous he would be super popular.

> I also hate Fed's shirt. No collar makes him look cheap out there!

I didn't see any of the Federer match and did not see what Federer was wearing.

Yeah, Bellucci has great hair and is cute. Check out the nudie pics of Mr. Pockmark I just posted. I never thought I would even remotely think Stanimal was "attractive."

Negative on Mr. Pockmark. I don't find him physically attractive at all. His tennis when on is another story.

Bellucci is a doll IMO. :)

Unless he fixes the FH and also start coming to net, he's not getting past Murray. Way too many easy forehands dumped into net. And he DTL and inside out FH were hit conservatively, not near the lines like he used to. With Murray he will have to go for more, closer to the lines and he will miss even more.

So, after the Dustin Brown beatdown, will you still say the same?
Isn't Rafa going to win at least 17 and go past Fed? That's what you've
been saying all along ...

Fed's draw features Monfils & Berdych, both of whom have beaten a
younger Fed at slams incl Wimby. And Whisper of course calls Rafa's
draw the toughest-ever in the history of tennis!

Of course it was quite tough. If the Nadullard had an easy draw, he
wouldn't have lost in the second round.

It's just another "Two and thru" for Nadal.

Courty will continue to say that Nadal is within sniffing distance of 17 grand slam wins, there is no way that she will write him off after this year. But deep down it can not be more clearer that there is no way Nadal is going to win 17, even 15 or 16 will be very difficult.

Maybe. Then again he could win next 3 slams.

I think it is dangerous to write him off. If he goes this whole year without any important wins and all of next year without a slam then I will say he is done.

You have to be careful about writing these greats off because they are not like 99.9% of the population.

He seems mentally fried to me more than anything else and that is adding to the problems with his game such as his MIA forehand. He can't be competitive without that forehand. His fh and movement are what separates him from everybody else.

He needs to go have a break and chillax and probably get a fresh perspective from a new voice in his team.

If he is mentally burnt out, he is finished but if he still has the motivation, he can make some sort of comeback.

We are all going to find out soon enough. Give it another 8 months to a year.

I would not wait that long, I will say if he miss out on next year's FO he is finished. This is 4th year running that he lost early at Wimbledon and he is not going to win Wimbledon for the rest of his career. Find his feet on his home court on clay is the only way he can get his career back on track.

Yes, Pete even said he smacked his lips watching Rafa play all those

the big hitters.

Court 1 bashes the Great Man every chance she gets.
