Rafa Defeats Dimitrov

Rafa rolls on, 75, 36, 62.


The leg hair is awesome. 



Grigor Dimitrov is 17, ranked 478th in the world, just turned pro last year, and he gave a good fight. Brought Rafa to the net a lot, maybe he thought he can take Rafa there but no go. Though his dropshots are reminiscent of The Ginge Hotness' last year's USO dropshots, many times he was a little impatient to finish. I do like him though, he was fast on his feet, fast in his mind, and he was polite. Give him a few years, he has the chops to go up the ladder.

The trainer came on in the 1st set to re-tape Rafa's left ankle. Lord, I'm so worried about him sometimes. What is happening to his body? Looking at the tapes, it's quite gruesome but if it's really serious could he have won AO with back to back grueling matched like he did? I don't have an answer and it's driving me bonkers.

Anyways. It was an interesting match even though I was falling asleep. Boy, between watching football (it's not soccer) and tennis, a girl's hard up on her beauty sleep.

One thing on Grigor - please shave that fuzz. You're so cute but the fuzz! Bad.


The Sky Sports' commentator said that he got an email from a fan asking if Grigor was better than Rafa when they're at the same age (17). He gave a decisive "no". ;)
