After the emotions of winning the Gold last night, I do wonder if Rafa both physically and emotionally has much left in the tank?

He'll get one. He's a crowd puller so the organisers will want him there.

No, he skipped it to practice on grass.

He played Delray Beach in Feb, which was his first tourny back this time but yes he played IW and Miami.

Can't say I'm familiar with Delray Beach.

The shadows on court are ridiculous given it's mid afternoon there. The court architect must have left his sundial at home when he did his preliminary sketch.

It's a 250 in Florida so not much to notice.

The shadow looks like a mountain peak

In non Olympic news (I know how I dare I! ) Kyle won his first qualifying match in Cincy. Good day for GB tennis, with Laura into her ITF final and Andy winning!

I feel like I'm being spoiled with Olympic tennis so soon after Wimbledon and yet before London I wasn't really aware of tennis in the Olympics at all. I'm guessing it's because before multi-channel I just watched the athletics.

Nadal is a pirate. WTF this commentator is an idiot.
