He looked a little like the star of a new TV show, "The Barely Walking Semifinalists," and he had to go through 7 match points to finally convert one, but he did it. <br /><br />Hope you're OK.

Over at tennis.com for example, they have their little "Racquet Reviews" for many other matches, including Nadal's loss; but where is the Racquet Review for Nishikori stepping in and taking the title? No, they rely on the AP story and that's it. Same thing over at SI.com. I'm sorry to say my schedule forced me to miss watching live, but he is racking up some impressive wins.

Despite Rafa's blisters, hinky knees and maybe because he woke up on the wrong side of the bed, he is too much in Fed's head for Fed to win. <br /><br />So, Wawa won't get Fed and he probably won't win a game, much less a set off Nadal in the final.

I don't want to go further with that and offend anyone. As for media darlings, they have now thrown the axis darling Laura Robson under the bus and put another axis hopeful on the pedestal, Bouchard! Miss Tennis of the future, according to everyone, LOL. If Wawa gets Fed in the final he will not win IMO due to deep psychological pressure of maybe preventing Roger from #18. Just my 2 cents. vwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10844758590288473788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757702474597183495.post-68390934268935765722014-01-23T11:20:31.621-05:002014-01-23T11:20:31.621-05:00Thanks for your added insights here.

That is why I always check out tennis blogs. Thanks for caring enough about the game and taking the time to write. It's good to get a fuller picture!rcmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10348541929662587702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757702474597183495.post-79915900491041547002014-01-23T11:06:12.846-05:002014-01-23T11:06:12.846-05:00you should have heard Wertheim & Haber talk ab...you should have heard Wertheim & Haber talk about it on TC. Haber called it a nudge. Wertheim thought it was Ferrer's record as a nice guy. I guess hitting a ball into the stands at a crying baby; calling an umpire a fucking idiot for not making a line call; telling a chair umpire that she has no idea what she is doing because she is a woman, defines nice guy in the tennis lexicon. <br /><br />The double standards are too much right now and I for one am sick and tired of it.
