When I see Nadal playing I always think of the song...

A pair of decent pants would stop him being the butt of all jokes.

Yes what is that with touching of both ears, forehead and nose? Does he suffer from OCD or summat?

A really gruelling final set with Nadal snatching victory from Muller's hands every time he pulled ahead. Don't think I've ever seen a set go as high as 15-13 before. Well done to both - must have been exhausting. One thing, they have more stamina than poncey footballers who struggle to play for 90 minutes never mind almost 5 hours.

Yes
Many top sportspersons suffer from OCD.




Did you never see the Borg McEnroe match ???

Good grief. The final set went on forever

I always thought that it was the sign of the cross as he is Spanish and probably Catholic.

Here is a complete guide to all of Nadal's rituals.

Re: Wimbledon.

What an epic match that was, I don't like Nadal so was cheering on Muller but looking at both of them playing Muller was the one who stayed calm throughout.

I bet he is glad for the day off today.

Just YouTubed the game you mentioned - 1980 final (where's my life gone ) and the last set went to 18-16 which McEnroe won. Seemingly there's a film about the contest being released this year.



Personally, I think the semi-final where McEnroe played against Jimmy Connors was the better game.

Re: Wimbledon.

Konta through to the semi finals and she plays Williams.

Was that Barry White umpiring? 'Fifteen... Lurrrrrve'.
