Am I

Ode to Rafa's Arms

I loathe Nike in 2009.

They put sleeves on Rafa. *pump*

Let him wear sleeves on the golf course,

Let him wear sleeves in press conferences,

Let him wear sleeves anywhere,

But not on the tennis court.

Give me Rafa's arms back

If it isn't "broken", don't fix it....

And it wasn't "broken".

And those long tennis Rafa shorts,

the pirate pants ~

were signature-Rafa that said "I'm here".

We love Rafa's spirit, *love3*

We love Rafa's unleashed passion on the court, *clap*

We love his humility everywhere else,

We love his kind heart,

We love his hair,

the *rafabrow*

We love his hands and long bending fingers,

We love the line he cuts running after the swing he's about to make,

We love his eyes that tell us how genuine he is,

We love the sauntering walk of his gait,

We love the shiny wet arms that delight our eyes,

the biceps that quietly make us take notice.

So an unsporting big BOO to Nike,

for stealing the vision we enjoyed so ~

Rafa's bare arms that gave us a show.

It's been a rough year for Rafa fans,

First covering up those wet, *thud*

bulging arms of Rafa's, *thud*

Shortening the fabric on his courtly pants, *thud*

Then having to miss him for months due to knee injury.

Rafa, is it asking too much

to grant us your arms again minus the sleeves

and adding the pants down past your knees?

DAVYDENKO OVER NADAL IN THE MIAMI FINAL

It wasn't Rafa's day, today. He had an off day. But he has played some magnificent matches prior to this final in Key Biscayne, Florida, as well as in Indian Wells, California.

In these two tournaments among others, Rafa beat Blake twice, Tsonga, Roddick, Becker, Kiefer, Mathieu, and Berdych.

VAMOS RAFA!

...........................................................

...........................................................

DAVYDENKO/Rafael Nadal

6-4, 6-2

An interview with:

RAFAEL NADAL

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Q. Has Nikolay improved since you last played him? Does he do anything differently now?

RAFAEL NADAL: What?

Q. Has Nikolay improved since you last played him? Does he do anything differently?

RAFAEL NADAL: No, I don't think so, no? He's always a big player, no? No. 4 in the world, No. 3, No. 5, since three years, no? He's a big player.

Q. Were you surprised at just how aggressive Nikolay was today? He seemed to be standing very close to the baseline, taking a lot of balls on the rise, taking a lot of time away from you. Were you surprised by his aggression today?

RAFAEL NADAL: No. I think he play a good level. He played good match, but I didn't play well today. So when you don't play at 100% at this level against top players, it's tough win, especially on hard surface. So I congratulate him more because he play better than me.

I played very good tournament. I won against very good players. I played at my best level against Berdych, against Blake, against Mathieu. So for that reason I beat against these top players. Today I didn't play my best. He play well and I lose.

Q. Were you 100% fit physically? Are you feeling well?

RAFAEL NADAL: I feel perfect. I feel good. I didn't have any problems, so just today I I didn't found my rhythm on court, so it was tough since the beginning. I can't against wind was impossible for me to win on my serve. If I win serves against wind is impossible to win the match.

Q. Especially your forehand today?

RAFAEL NADAL: My forehand?

Q. Yeah.

RAFAEL NADAL: I don't know outside court, but inside the court I think is the backhand, not the forehand.

Q. Do you think that Nikolay is sort of the guy that at least here we don't hear that much about? You know, everyone writes about you and Roger and Andy. Do you think he's kind of the forgotten guy in the top 5? People don't give him enough credit?

RAFAEL NADAL: I don't think so, no. He's well, he's a different kind of player, for sure. He's he's a big player, but the people and you, you like to write more about Roger, about me, about Djokovic, about Roddick.

But one player can't be three years in Masters Series or this year going to be the fourth without being a very, very good player.

So the people outside tennis can think different, can think about different way about Nikolay, but we know he's a very, very good player.

Q. What are the things that make him different, and what makes him particularly difficult to play?

RAFAEL NADAL: I say before, I think he didn't do nothing different. He start play much better. He played very good level. I didn't play good match. That's it.

Sometimes we all have to think more than the match, so the match was I didn't play well. He play very well, especially after 33, because in the beginning I think he wasn't play very good, too. But, anyway, I didn't play well, too.

So later he start he come back, and in one moment of the match, in the 3All, I have one break point, important point. I didn't win this point. I have one mistake with the forehand. After this point he start playing match much better.

It was a big change because he was doing some mistakes. I was doing the same mistakes, too, but at this moment he changed a lot in the match. He start playing much better and was big change for me, no?

And I didn't found a way. I didn't see the way for for try to change the match, no?

Q. I know it's very soon after the match for you, but would you be able to turn your mind to thinking about the clay court season, which is about to begin, and a few thoughts about the part of the season you like best?

RAFAEL NADAL: Right now I have Davis Cup, so I don't think about I think about Davis Cup now. It's important competition for us. Later I sure I'm going to think on clay season, but right now this is the tournament going to give me, I think, positive feeling for the clay season, no?

I play very good tournament against very good players, regularly in final, semifinal, semifinal. That's always positive. When you are there every week finally you going to win. I think this.

So for sure it's tough. I was playing very, very good tennis, but at the same time, I have to be happy about myself, about the last weeks, because I improve a lot my level, tennis level, and I was there all the time.

I think soon I going to win a title, no? I hope so. I hope so in MonteCarlo.

Q. You said that he didn't change his style, but is there something about his style that didn't allow you to get into your rhythm, or was it just one of those days for you?

RAFAEL NADAL: I say it three times. I didn't feel my rhythm on court, so I play bad game today. It's difficult to say more things. I said before he play better than me. For that reason he beat me. He play more aggressive, with more good feelings, forehand, backhand volley, dropshot.

I can't win against player doing everything better than me today. Today, I didn't play my tennis. But the intention of tennis is five sets. Big matches I remember some of the big matches, I know I played big matches, if I played big matches, was always five sets.

Q. The fact that they've switched to a twooutofthree format, seems like it would be a particular disadvantage to a player like yourself. I wonder how you and others feel about the switch from threeoutoffive to twooutofthree in the scoring.

RAFAEL NADAL: I think it's a positive change for the players, because we have the calendar very tight, very tough all the time, a lot of straight weeks and tough for us to play final with five sets.

At the same time, it is disappointing for me.

Q. With the results of tournaments at that start of this year, do you see the men's side being wide open right now as far as who's going to become the dominant player?

RAFAEL NADAL: I don't know. You know, we have only three months already on the season. Roger have lose more than usually, but it wasn't due to bad results. He's not far away about his level.

Djokovic is unbelievable, but at the same time, I am not so far away than Djokovic, too. Play very good start of the season. My goal was have 1,000 points after Miami. I say before the season my goal is have 1,000 points in Miami and I will have, I don't know, 1,200, 1,250, something like this.

I improve my goal. Last year I have in this moment, this tournament, when I finish winning the Indian Wells I have 1025 points. I improve. It's a lot of points on three months, so happy for that.

FOX SPORTS IS A POOR NETWORK FOR PROFESSIONAL TENNIS

TENNIS GETS SPOTTY COVERAGE

April 6, Sunday, Rafael Nadal (2) plays Nikolay Davydendo (4) in the Final at the Sony Ericsson Open in Key Biscayne, Florida. It will be aired on CBS at 1:00 p.m. Most likely, it is an afternoon match because of the March Madness in basketball.

The coverage of the tennis matches has been dismal and a slap to tennis fans and the players. In the women's final today, CBS left the match immediately after the last swing of the racket. No speeches and trophy ceremony or interviews were aired. Instead we saw basketball coaches praising Bobbie Knight when he was 20 and 30 years younger. I am from Indiana. My dad was an excellent and well-respected high school basketball coach. I love basketball, especially college ball. My dad's players were scouted and recruited by Bobbie Knight. But it is not acceptable to miss the final tennis match's ceremony.

And it was not acceptable to completely not air one of Rafael Nadal's (2) matches this week. And to even imagine that matches would be at the beginning of the 3rd and final set and instead of seeing it we would be offered a boat repair show or poker games is unthinkable. The men's semi final match on Friday night simply didn't start airing the match until it already had been playing for 30 minutes. This is completely wrong.

After purchasing an annual pass at the ATP Masters Series live streaming ~ I can't see the matches because the streaming doesn't stream. This is strange because when the spotty scheduling at the free TVUnetworks live streamed some of the earlier matches, I had no problem with the streaming.

Below is a very interesting article which includes a description of Rafael Nadal at press conferences after matches.

Rafa Nadal in the match with Tomas Berdych, April 4, 08

Comparation: Miami CC
http://tennisworld.typepad.com/tennisworld/2008/04/comparation-mia.html

Posted 04/04/2008 @ 10 :38 PM

The biggest collective laugh in the press room during my stay here erupted today after Rafael Nadal bounced Thomas Berdych out of the Sony Ericsson Open. One intrepid newshound was all wrapped up in his conviction that Nadal hit only two "powerful" backhands during the match, and asked him why.

Jet Boy, like most of the stars, is accustomed to strange and even dumb questions. Yet he doesn't pillory or mock the poor schmoe who's on a mission seeking some bizarre form of celebrity-related validation. He doesn't even roll his eyes. He seems to take the cheerily democratic view that all questions are equal, although you can tell the ones he takes seriously. For those, he sits up straight and thinks; he thinks so conspicuously and seriously that I half-expect one of those little cartoon thought bubbles to appear over his head. But this question about the powerful backhands was not in that category.

"I really don't know," Nadal said, confessing. "I didn't think about this." He paused. "I think I have more backhands, no? But, you know, sometimes it depends of the points. It's difficult say why I'm not touching the ball. It's about your feeling in that moment, no? I don't know."

See Rafa, no good deed goes unpunished. You take a question like that seriously and you to wind up in bizarro world. What's worse, the tone-deaf guy who asked the question pressed on: "Because a lot of times you played the backhand more safe, but you can hit it very powerful, and people talk about how you should play aggressive on hard courts. It's much talked about. That's why, because you can hit the shot, and we'd like to see it more often maybe."

Jet Boy's look said, Okay, I give up! and he looked right at the pressman and deadpanned: "I going to do more times in the final. If you like, I going to do it."

I know I write a lot about Nadal's pressers here, but I can't help myself. The transcripts don't even come close to doing justice to them; for example, where the transcripts say "comparison", the word Nadal really uses is one he made up: "comparation." It's just one example - and I can think of half-a-dozen similar ones - of the properties that lend charm and a touch of whimsy to the proceedings.

Roger Federer's pressers are crisp, on-target and professional. Occasionally there are moments of levity, but on the whole they're like a meeting of the UN World Council on Reducing Erosion in Riparian Corridors. In his interviews, Novak Djokovic tends to make speeches instead of engaging in conversations; of all the top guys, he's the one in gravest danger of referring to himself in the third person. (When I asked him in Indian Wells what luxuries he'd allowed himself now that his material well being was secure, he very sternly warned me that this was a "private" matter. I'm fond of Novak, but if that's his idea of something "private", there's something lacking in that boy's life.) And Andy Roddick pressers can be like certain late-night conversations in a bar; you never know if you're going to share a laugh with the guy - or end up rolling around in the sawdust, fists flying.

By contrast, Nadal's appearances are a press room a happy hour, sans booze (these tournament promoters aren't entirely nuts). Feel bored? Cranky? Uninsipired? Maria Sharapova just look at you like you're some kind of iridescent green bug when you said hi to her at the transport desk? Get on over to the interview room, Rafa's coming in! The guy turns the room into his kitchen, hops up on the counter, and you talk. It's a warm, enjoyable experience and that means something. Even when he takes exception to an ill-conceived question or comment (Rafa, don't you ever get tired of being stuck at No. 2?), Nadal expresses his annoyance or displeasure without malice - a slightly pained expression the only clue that he's discomfited.

And some things do get to him (among them, incessant "comparations" between this year and last, between his serve now and 18 months ago, between the relative value of the Wimbledon and French Open titles). Michelle Kaufman of the Miami Herald invited him to elaborate on something she'd read on his blog, pertaining to the recent fortunes of Roger Federer. He said:

"I think the people are speaking too much about Roger's moment. I think Roger is not in that moment, but, you know, it's very tough to be all the time at 100%. He has for last four or five years unbelievable records. Right now he's not doing bad. He's doing semifinals in Australia and semifinals Indian Wells. Here, quarterfinals.
For sure we are not . . . for us, not normal watch Roger lose in these tournaments, but he's a human person. Anything can happen, because the levels always are very close. Roger has a special ability and always win the important matches and win in the difficult moments.
For that reason, I think it's not fair right now we speak bad about Roger."

It was a touching tribute to a rival who has kept him pinned at No. 2 despite (as Nadal claimed) Jet Boy having had, at various times in the two years, more ranking points than some No. 1 players of the past.

So what of Federer then? Charlie Bricker noted today that this is the first time in something like four years that the Swiss icon has gone four tournaments without a title. But like so many of the other statistics created by Federer's supremacy, you have to ask: What does that really mean, in the big picture? My own answer is, not that much. Roddick is a player who, at his best, can knock out and bury people in a blizzard of teeth-jarring forehands and court-denting serves. Give the man his due.

But if you insist on making this all about Federer and are looking for comfort, go back into the record book - you'll see comparable dry spells in every great player's resume, especially when they get to the mid-point of their careers - and beyond. It's ironic - and perhaps telling - that Roger has become pals with Pete Sampras. Those guys talk. And Pete has always been pretty vocal about his decision, taken at a time comparable to this point in Federer's career, to focus on the majors. This is a tricky issue for Federer for many reasons, including political ones having to do with the prestige and credibility of the tour. For, as Pete said of sub-major tournaments: "At one point they all started to run together and I didn't really care that much."

The trouble with making this all about Federer is that it also invites you to leap into the alarmists' camp, where you just might end up stewing in your discontents and wildly unrealistic expectations for a good spell. If you scrutinize yesterday's scorecard and focus on the critical seventh game of the third set, you can find justification for panic. The score was 3-all and Roddick was serving, and down, 0-30. But Federer wasted that chance uncharacteristically, shanking a pair of returns. On game point for Roddick, Federer drove an ugly forehand into the net. Worse yet, he was broken in next game, at love. Roddick then served out the upset.

That chain of events handily illustrates the most persuasive doomsday scenario, if you care to go there, darkly implying that Federer has misplaced his confidence and that his nerves, overloaded for so long, are burning out and sending error messages to his arm. This happens, although not usually overnight, and not so finally that a player tumbles head over heels off the ranking tower. Right now, it's most likely that Roger is in the middle of a mild (for him) "slump", or having trouble getting motivated for run-of-the-mill tour events, or he's just in the midst of a simple run of bum luck, with an on-fire opponent lurking in every draw.

That players are more resilient than we sometimes give the credit for is a truism that was proven again last night, when slam-dunk finalist Andy Roddick was beaten by recently troubled but now resurgent Nikolay Davydenko, who will now meet Rafael Nadal in the men's final. It would be a shame to doubt that Federer has the same kind of resilience.

Just ask Nadal. Next Happy Hour is Sunday, around 4 PM.

Genocide is not only a word, it is crying of the whole human race. There is nothing redeeming about being silent when speaking up is the humane thing to do. The honor and integrity of the human race is at stake.
