    I really feel that some people, not all, forgot how good this kid is when he was on the shelf. Im still of the opinion that if he can stay healthy enough thruout his career, hes going to go down as the greatest player ever, even better then Federer.
     
    Those first two sets tonight were epic.

    Nice thought but it goes back to longevity and Nadal's style of play and the  abuse his body is absorbing will negate that last statement...

    Today I hit:

    Gonzo +120

    Cilic +1100

    Nadal -170 and -185

    Clijsters -375

    Del Po -585 and Del Po 3-0 -125.

    Parlayed together sometimes etc. Small on Cilic but had lots of parlays with him small that sure grew big with his win. My best day all year in tennis. (too bad I put in a small hedge wager on Flavia instead of one on Serena 2-0 like I should have or today would have been epic for me) Good time to get hot picking this thing with my futures right around the corner.

    Right now I am feeling the over in Nadal/Del Potro if they meet and in the final if Federer makes it vs anyone. Got to hurry up and join 5dimes or something. This match was special to see. I think Nadal has a great chance of taking this tournament.

    Thats debateable. It depends on alot of varibles like a.) how much he plays b)how many slams he wins in the next few years. If he can pile up 5-6 slams in the next 3-4 years and have a total of around 11-12 titles by the age of 26, I think this will allow him to be very carefull with his body and play very selected amounts in the backside of his career.

    I'd love to see a Rafa vs Federer final. I would imgaine Roger wouldnt have minded that but after Rafa's performance tonight I bet he isnt so sure he would take the match. That was epic Rafa tonight right on the heels of all the doubters surfacing and saying he was going to lose. What a night. He regains his #2 ranking, puts on a clinic and shows the tennis world hes back.

    I think it is 50/50. But no more BS from people about Fed not being in his prime. If he is not in his prime he is sure as fuck close enough. If Nadal can beat the best ever he is the best ever. I am not as sure as you but I feel what you wrote there.

    I think we are watching the most compelling story in tennis history. These ginats are battling it out to determine who is the best not just of this era but ever.

    I wanted Serena and Safina to meet in the final because I thought the "Who is the real number one?" storyline would be compelling. But it actually would be quite hollow compared to this one because Safina doesn't warrant her half of the contest and the debate of who is the real number one is pale compared to who is the best of all time.

    Special times for tennis fans. Glad I started watching again even if I am such a degenerate that I have to bet to fully enjoy it.

    They'res obviously a few things that have to happen, but its really incredible how much the kid has accomplished at the age of 23. 6 majors, one win at the US open from completing the career grand slam and has totally dominated the player who most regard as the greatest ever (not just in H2H, but in H2H in majors too). Im a huge Tiger Woods fan, have been since the day he stepped on tour and alot of it has to do with his mental state, ability to almost always step up, but I have to say Rafa>Tiger in terms of being the most mentally stable sports player in the world.

    As a tennis fan its something special that we get to watch prolly the 2 best players even in the sport compete at the same time and go head to head.
