Rafa and Darcis |
:
Wimbledon has begun and it looks like it will be interesting to say the least!
Rafa is out, Steve Darcis of Belgium won in straight sets 7-6,7-6, 6-4. Ranked 44 in the world. He is now ranked 144 in the world. Big upset!
I believe Rafa's injuries are catching up with him. So sorry to say.
No Kneed for Excuses: Refusing to claim injury—Nadal’s chronically hurt left knee seemed to fail him as the match with Darcis wore on—Rafa gave all credit to Darcis for the win, and he was and is philosophical about the loss:
“Life continues, that’s all. I say before, is not a dramatic thing. That’s the sport. That’s the game at the end. Two weeks ago (at Roland Garros) I was in a fantastic situation, winning a fantastic tournament. Two weeks later I lost here in the first round. That’s the positive and the negative thing about this sport. Is tough losing in the first round. But, as I said before, the tour continues, life continues, and this is a sport of victories. It’s not a sport of losses. Nobody remembers the losses. People remember the victories. And I don’t want to remember that loss.”
Sharapova and Serena are both playing very well at Wimbledon. They both won easily. Wish them both the best of luck.
Wimbledon prize money this year will be a whopping: 1.6 million pounds sterling for both the men and women. This is still a lot of loot for the winner.
Novak Djokovic straight sets win will put him at ease and set him to win the next match against Bobby Reynolds, Cape Cod, Ma. from the USA. Fed won in straight sets, his next opponent is Ukrainian Sergiy Stakhovsky. Fed won in just over 1 hour. This is Fed at his best. Murray will play
Yen-Hsun Lu from Taiwan. Ranked 70th, he will probably not hold up against Murray.
This match:
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) [6] | vs. | ||||||
Ernests Gulbis (LAT) ought to be a good Match. Tsonga is looking good. |
