Omes:

Rafa silenced his critics today after destroying the only man who had the audacity to beat him at Roly G. (Well so far but fingers crossed ey).

I didn't get to watch the match live, but I did get live updates from the kind and crazy kids at nadalnews. I watch it now. Happyforthewin.

Now the big four are in the semis for the first time since....? It was a somewhat strange Roland Garros with menacing Babolat balls, qualifiers here, qualifiers there. But we made it in the end and I'm sure the bosses in Paris are dougie-ing and jerking all the way home.

So to sum up: Federer please take out Noley Noles. Happy for the Muzzard that's he's through for his first semi here. And I love Rafa.

Wayne Rooney hearts Roger Federer

So apparently Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has a lot of respect for Roger with the way he handles his emotions on court. 

 

"When he first started playing, he had anger issues. The discipline he's had to [stop] the emotions running over is incredible." the footballer chimed.

Looks like he's had an epiphany. Rooney, Federer is also really nice to his wife. Just sayin'.

There has to be a six degrees of separation for these two.

Fanatic Omes:

I have found myself rooting for Federer so that he can take out Nole in the semis. It has come to that. Both Rafa and Lubey played awfully, but Rafa did manage to kick it up to let’s say challenger standards in the 2^nd and 3^rd. But he’s still carrying on this trend of breaking and being broken back straight away; and not taking his chances. Sigh. Rafa seemed to be positive in the presser though.

Re Nole’s  walkover – I think it’s just a by-the-by ‘cause he was always gonna make jumbalaya out of Fognini in the quarters.

Federer needs to take Nole out! He is poised to do so. BUT then if Rog plays Raf in the final and wins, that might even be worse than Nole beating Rafa. Eugh. I’d probably puke on myself.

Let’s cheer things up and think about the Monfils/Ferrer cracker! Allez Monfils! I can’t believe I’ll have to root against Monfils when he plays Rog just so that he has a chance of taking Nole out. The things I do for you Rafa : |!
