Ummm..what was that about? Was that directed toward me?

If it was, then let me clarify. It's the commentators, the anylsts, and all of those kind of people that will be jumping back on the Fed bandwagon until he starts losing again. I wasn't talking about Roger himself. As a former fan, I still like him, but don't feel like hearing all the commies and the like. So, if that was a reply to me, I'll end it that here.

Oh, yeah, HAPPY ONE DAY BELATED 23rd BIRTHDAY, RAFA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Idk Christal, but I know that you like Fed, you're just frustrated with everything that has happened at the RG. And that's completely understandable.

I really hope Rafa had a great time yesterday. It's the first time since he was 18 that he's been able to be home, with his friends and family.

The talking will be endless and I don't care, maybe if Roger indeed get his dreamed 15th GS we can all rest in peace, he will undoubtedly the GOAT, not more talking and maybe he decides to retire.
I don't have as much problem with Roger on court as I have with him off court and the media drooling.
But we can read, listen and watch what we want. Since Rafa lost I've kept myself out of the media turmoil and it is okay. I don't feel like I am dead or something, just free of all sort of talking I dislike

Christal, I am logging only occasionally on VB. I don't like there when Rafa loses, there are people saying Sod was doped because unfortunately there are people and people and some are just sore losers and I cant stand it.

I hope Rafa had a good birthday and got fixed whatever is wrong in his mind. He has mental strength issues now and I don't know when he will solve it because since all that "personal issues" talking, the truth is, he is having issues to close sets and matches, wasting tons of break points, being broken back way more often than he used to be. Just a blind doesn't see there is something disturbing him. Personal or not, I don't know, I am just a selfish fan that want him 'fixed' as soon as possible, whatever it is wrong with him.

Oh, I'm glad you mention VB, Barb. I forgot to tell you, I changed my mind, (which by now is obvious), lol, about posting there. Things over just seemed too tense and stressed. And I felt this BEFORE Rafa even lost. I like that it's a dedicated Rafa site, but alot of things turn me off. (Too brutal for me Roger bashing even if he's not a fave anymore.)

I didn't know about the doping thing, as I too, have been staying away from the same things you are. I've mostly been reading old cheering threads and handful of current posts.

Ay. The "personal issues". I really didn't want to give any credence to them, but all the things you mentioned, have been glaringly obvious. I hope too, that beening at home will get his mind right.

*sigh* I hate this.

it's just what the media does...they did it last year with Fed when he had his "off" year and now with Nadal

they go back and forth more times than the tennis ball

yeah, media sort of sucks... a player wins some stuff he is THE player. A great player like Roger or Rafa loses a few tournaments, they are over. Gosh, they are totally whores
I am watching NBA The Finals, rooting for LAL till the death and during an interview with Magic Johnson and he says that the GOAT talking is hard and that he feels honored to be in the middle of the discussion. I loved this quote and I feel if Rafa is ever in discussion this is how he is gonna feel, that are so many great guys there, probably better than himself, and it is hard to point the best but just being inserted in the discussion already makes it all.
Gotta love Kobe, gotta love Rafa

Oh, I know, right?

I was sick of it last year with Roger. The whole "Woah, is us. He's never going to win." WHAT?! He's ROGER FEDERER! I just muted the tv whenever they started up with that crap. Now, they are making it as if he's come back from the brink or something. HE WENT TO NO.2. The freaking world didn't end. I'm sorry, but I don't see the shame in that. Just enough with the storylines and let them play tennis!

Oh, and Barbara...DOWN THE LAKERS! Hey, I'm from Florida. Gotta root for Orlando!

So, are we buying this? I hate not to believe the Nadal camp, but I can't quite believe this the whole story. Oh, what is going on with him?
