Glad to see you found your way to the ...Hi Yolita!<br /><br />Glad to see you found your way to the site - welcome...<br /><br />I agree that Soderling has been rude to Rafa, I certainly haven't forgotten.<br /><br />He should have known better, but I also believe him to be something of a misunderstood figure.<br /><br />He hasn't got, to my knowledge, a history of abusing players in the way he did Rafa. Maybe it was a one off, which got blown out of proportion?<br /><br />I also believe, that with the year he's had, there's a case to be made for reintroducing him back into civilised society.<br /><br />Everyone knows the history he has with Rafa, and there's not much to be gained by revisiting it.<br /><br />Nice to see you thought I was fair to Djokovic!<br /><br />Hi Catalin!<br /><br />Nadal really did play better than he has been recently - I still don't expect a great deal from him until next year, but he could still give us some great matches - especially if he is as motivated as he says he is to playing himself back into form.<br /><br />As for DJoko and Davydenko - you might well have missed the match of the event - then again, with the high quality of play we've seen so far, maybe the best is yet to come!Zafarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11909444215193865334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8948801468516043822.post-52494350442139803502009-11-24T07:15:21.786+00:002009-11-24T07:15:21.786+00:00You really had me laughing with this post. I only ...You really had me laughing with this post. I only saw the Nadal-Soderling match and like you I thought Nadal played better than in the last couple of times I've seen him. Not at his best, but at least going in the right direction.<br /><br />As for the Djokovich-Davidenko match, now you've made me regret not seeing it. But it's not my fault Dubai is now 4 hours ahead of London! :)Catalinhttp://www.momentaryawe.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8948801468516043822.post-57525073884793399262009-11-24T03:13:34.969+00:002009-11-24T03:13:34.969+00:00Excellent post!

It's a fact that he has been rude to Rafa several times. And although not everyone is destined to get along, that's no excuse for a lack of manners. Especially towards a player as polite and nice as Rafa NadalYolitanoreply@blogger.com
