BARCELONA OPEN: Rafa Might Actually Bring The Ugly VW Home

So all that expectation of Rafa vs Kolya boiled down to nothing. Rafa won easily 63, 62, and he is through to his fifth consecutive final in Barcelona.



To be honest it's getting kinda boring. Can no one give him a real challenge? Sure, Nole the Smurf King took him to 3 sets last week, but last week he was not his best, yes? This week he kinda is, and the result is mindblowingly boring matches. Although I say that with the greatest compliments to him, I really want some exciting matches soon. I mean, there's no drama whatsoever! That's like watching one of Kate Winslet's Oscar winning movies to me.


Meeting him in the final and trying to wrestle the ugly VW off Rafa's hands is David Ferrer, who won over Gonzo in 3 sets. Yep, last year's finalist right here in Barcelona. Yes, Dabid might be great on clay, and on the stuff he might triple his actual tennis abilities but no way in hell is he getting past Rafa. I mean, let's be realistic here. But who knows. Maybe we'll have a surprise on court tomorrow.





Anyhow, Rafa seems happy enough, so that's enough for me.



And because this picture is like, five kinds of awesome:



Btw, this ugly VW I'm talking about is the Volkswagen on display at the corner of the center court in Barcelona. I'm guessing it's what he winner would bring home. I'm sorry, but it's so ugly it offends me. How is that thing supposed to be an incentive?

  1. No. No surprises. And the Scirocco isn't ugly. It's a hot little number. And quick. But, let's not forget that VW is one of the sponsors. I do love that last pic, oh yes I do.
    Thank you, madam. Indeedy.

  3. Does seem to be a bit of 'tenting' in that last one, if I'm not mistaken. (Now I can't type, again. Thanks, CC. :D)
