Nadal is my favorite player to watch, no doubt about it. But David Ferrer (fellow Spaniard) is playing the match of his life. Ferrer is up 2 sets to 1.

JJ, when Rafa took Federer to 5 sets at Wimbledon, you proclaimed that Rafa is "now the best men's tennis player", or something to that effect. I immediately told you that this was incorrect, and that Fed was still the king.

Dammit JJ, you put the jinx on Rafa!!!

Nadal is done for the us open. Blame JJ for all the good it will do.

Ferrer was pounding the ball like I have never seen and hitting ever fukkin line, you woner why this guy does not win?

Raffy is injury prone because of his bulky body, I think he will always have issues but is a great player when healthy.

Ferrer outplayed him this time.

Is Rafa injury prone because he's muscular, or is it because of his style of play?

David Ferrer played a brilliant match, and he deserved the win no doubt..

JJ is a professional gambler; listen and learn.

Yes, I like listening to JJ, but when it comes to tennis, son, he can learn more from me than vice versa.

JJ did say back at Wimbledon that Rafa is now the best player in the world, he was wrong.

He'll be the first to tell you that.

I believe Rafa is injury prone mainly because he trains/practices so hard, his body is still young and not fully mature, and he plays with reckless abandon in matches, chasing down every single ball even if it's not within his range to catch up to it.

Contrary to JJ, I believe his muscles actually PREVENT him from being injured even more. His knee problems began at Wimbledon when he twinged his right knee against Federer in the final. This was after a grueling clay court season in which he and the other players only have 2 weeks off between the French and Wimbledon.
