Good link. Try it on Saturday!

This is the men's draw, possibly starring the #1 and #2.

Yes, the women got rained out today. But the forecast for tomorrow is good.

They're trying to figure out how to make coloured letters in Adobe PDF
so they can write Nadal's name in the draw in thick, bold, red font.


Looks as if your knowledge of tennis is on par with your knowledge of
the pdf format.

Very impressive.

You are stupid. I said the idiot who is making the pdf of the dubai
draw is trying to figure it out. I never said that such feature was
impossible for pdf documents.

Nadal is going to use Dubai to get his timing and fitness back above
80%. Then he's going to steamroll through IW and will most likely win
Miami.


How hard do you think it is to create pdf documents? Or, colored letters?



Dude, it was a joke. Why are you taking it so literally?



You are easy to anger. I take it that you are not speaking from a
position of security.


I'm not angry. I'm just being real.


Are you upset that Nadal lost to someone outside the Top 50 at
Marseille? Or that he chose to play from 15 to 20 feet behind the
baseline as if this was red clay?


Nadal wasn't even 50%


You should be.

Most tennis analysts seem to think that Federer was at 60% at the AO. I
guess Federer at 60% is much better than Nadal at 80% on HC.


That's why Nadal spanked Fed so many times before. (3 times).


Try twice. h2h is 2-1, Not a big deal. sample size is too small.


The match Fed won, Nadal was badly outplaying him until he ran low on
fuel. That was a amazing display of skill from Nadal.

So in all three matches, Nadal was mashing Fed pretty good.


Weren't the 4th and 5th set in Miami awful? I just saw the match the other day. It ought to have been over in 4 sets. I don't know why Federer dragged it out. Made for better entertainment, I suppose.

But Nadal fought back well when the second set seemed gone. He is a great fighter. Did you see how he fought against Rochus and Clement last week? Saved a matchpoint against Rochus in the 1R. Very impressive.
