The bionic man returned to his nest. In other words, Rafael Nadal returned to the Central Track, the famous and windy Philippe kshatriya. Irritating by a number of privileges, which allowed Federer to win and rest before the rain broke out, the Bionic Man and tanning of Manacor (Nike has tight clothes to biceps), has only two rivals at Roland Garros. None is Federer. One is history. The other, a robot that sometimes broadcast risitas rabbit: Björn Rune Borg.
/> Not exactly play well (in the first set lost two services), Nadal dismantled to Thomaz Bellucci, a good promise that had won 20 of 21 games. After Nadal, 20, 22. With the hair of Bellucci, Nadal at Roland Garros was climbs to three titles and 22-0. Scoreboard impossible, even for Borg.

The day was horrible. The wind, the worst enemy of tennis, Sharapova made, with their golden earrings and beads Tiffany's on the verge of hysteria and elimination before Rodina. Sharapova, number one, Girl Ten ape to Rodina, a small 19-year-old Muscovite, 8-6 in the third set, after not forced 51 errors and 17 double faults. "I ate and breathed sand," complained of pearls and earrings.

The bionic man has round, Rafa Nadal

And what are for Nadal wind and sand? Its natural habitat. What has eaten and breathed in Manacor, as Borg ate and breathed ice on the island of Kattilo. In the sand, Nadal dug craters with topspin endemoniada makes jump to the ball like a porcupine elastic and supernatural. "Rafa did nothing that I would not wait, but you live with him an experience entirely different. Pegas a ball, you won, and he arrives, the sticks and he wins," said Bellucci. Sounded like the Italian Barazutti in 1980: "Here are two tournaments, one with Borg, another without him. Those who think otherwise, living in illusions." But Nadal has not even lived fifth set in Roland Garros. And after his first two titles since Borg lost in 1976: Panatta. Today, in the face Lenglen and Nico Devilder, a guy who lives in Boulogne-Billancourt, vicinity of Roland Garros, the Bionic Man of Manacor will have another rival at the side Borg and history: the good people of Paris.

Rafa Nadal "The advancement of Federer, illogical"

It is not logical that has been stopped two days, and that the parties Robredo and Federer have played before: they should have ido behind, according to its part of the table. There can be that this is not intentional. But I do not paint anything on this. Here decide the capos. It was what I said to them, but nothing has helped. Coaching before the tournament I was very good, but I lost a break with the pace of Pelin. Devilder is another left-handed and will be hard, like everyone
