Federer eats dust as clay court King Rafa Nadal wins Madrid Open.. \o/

CELEBRATE! CELEBRATE! DAAAANCE TO THE MUUUUUSIC!

Rafa avenges last year's final defeat to Roger Federer by a stellar performance at thees Madrid Open; 6-4 7-6 (7/5) een 2 hours and 11minutes of rarified prowess, giving Rafa record-breaking 18th ATP Masters crown and further extending hees astounding successful run on clay for 168 wins out of 174 matches since 2005!


Not only is Ruffie in his best form after defeating (ok, pummeling Dasco profusely) fellow countryman Fernando Verdasco 6-0 6-1, Ruffie won his 6th consecutive Monte Carlo Masters title! Aaaaand, it marks the end of an 11-month title drought for heem; last trophy won was at the Rome Masters last year. Maybe Rafa's fans can build a ramp from last year's Rome Masters win over Rafa's drought to the Monte Carlo Masters win. Like thees drought didn't even exist, get it? Whaddyasay?  Whatever..  Without a doubt, my Ruffie has come back from the Dread! 


It was a fierce battle between thees top superstars.  Even though the 2nd set went to tie-break and eet looked like Fed came out of thees gate swinging weiners, Ruffie hit back long, deep and continuously to secure thees set, won thees match and the 39th title of his career.

Vamose, Rafa!  Rafa Rules!
RiCH rules, too!

Celebrate! Celebrate! Dance to the Music! \o/ Rafa Nadal wins 5th Rome Masters title!

HOLA!!  Just got in from Rome!  We're very, very happy about thees win, amigos.  Ruffie has now attained Aggi's record of 17 Masters titles!  Thees is so mind-blowing, given hees young age.  Aggi was in hees 30's when he attained this record.

How do you like my tan?

Ruffie took thees pic.  He says
thees is my best tan, ever!  (I almost
let it slip that my best tan ever - I got
in El Paso! *Rome* sounds so much
better, si?)


Rafa won against David Ferrer 7-5 6-2 but just 'tween me and you,
I think Ferrer presented a challenge for Rafa.  There were some real
outstanding rally's and points won by Dah-vid. 

And you should know I hate it when it rains and the match is suspended.
Thees kind of interruptions in play can throw a baller off his game!

I hate it when I gets my fur wet.  And I hate rain hitting my face and blurring
my vision.  But don worry, I come up with really neat solution.  hee hee

(Ruffie thought it was a little over the top.
HA. Men!)
