What struck me is how honest he was about his feelings. Not too many competitive athletes would admit to feeling empty and lonely when they had achieved something so special. Looks like Rafa has a lot of interesting facets. Now, if he could only lose the sneer and stop picking his pants. (Can't Nike find him some underwear/pants that fit?) He's definitely more likable than most of the rest of the top players. Except for Roger, of course. Sometimes the chase is more fun than the capture.

I agree - the interview was very interesting. I was really, really surprised by that quote - I didn't think Rafa was capable of feeling sad. He just seems to live such a charmed life. Here's the full original, (in French) if you haven't see it: http://tinyurl.com/dchkns Hola lk28! I agree – the interview was very interesting.

This is a character-building time for us all, including Roger. I've been to the Fed website, but it's a bit too intense for me. Fan expectations like that would be hard for anyone to carry around. The Rafa interview was most interesting, and a bit puzzling. Sounds like he truly idolizes Fed. He'll have to grow into being no. 1 and being idolized over-the-top himself. Couldn't care less about Murray-Djoko; can't stand either. Time to get out of the house! Thanks for all the tips — most helpful. This is a character-building time for us all, including Roger.

Although it's hard for me to choose between these two - they're both Fed's rivals! Keeping my fingers crossed! Although it’s hard for me to choose between these two – they’re both Fed’s rivals!

And Freakyfritters, Murray will flatten out Novak in the finals as he is the Master of the Masters Series and thats it....Hahahaha You are so right FreakyFrites, RICH will probably have a GREAT weekend as Roger just like Nadal wont be in the finals.

And Freakyfritters, Murray will flatten out Novak in the finals as he is the Master of the Masters Series and thats it….Hahahaha

Roger's going to have a higher mental mountain to climb now, but maybe this is needed for him. Force him to give himself a serious reboot. On a side note, just heard Del Poopie pants is getting spanked by Murray, 6-1 in the first set. Doob + red wine sounds good to me.

I prefer a fat dooby - and a good glass of red. Sex mandatory. But seriously, what happened today? Fed's on a slide and picking up steam. Tough to watch. “Mere mortals like us have to rely on lesser forms of coping, like tequila, Vicodin and meaningless one-night stands.”
