Yes! Nadal is out!! Taken out in grand style by his nemesis Fognini. Coming back from two sets to love!!! Some inspired tennis alright!

You've always overestimated Rafa who in my opinion is the biggest overachiever with mediocre talent in my opinion in tennis.

First time I've ever been accused of overestimating Rafa.

No way I'd ever be stupid enough to say he has mediocre talent, though. Sure, string technology has helped him off of clay, but he would be an all time great even without most of the slams off of clay. This is basic knowledge for legitimate tennis fans.

I till think his US Open wins were suspect, of course. The mysteriously unbreakable serve that only existed for a couple of weeks after a long break from competitive play....kinda juicy.

Are you going on Saturday, bksballer89?

Nope I'll be there on Sunday. Next year I'll be back to going during the 3rd round. So many more matches to watch with ground passes in the 3rd round compared to the round of 16. I'll wait for the schedule to come out to see who's playing which will decide how I early I go. 2 years ago I went for the first match at 11 AM but last year I did not get there until 2 PM because I did not give a shit about the first match and just wanted to see Novak play.

So while I was here responding to @nuraman00 I had no fucking idea Rafa got eliminated. I fell asleep after he won the 2nd set assumed he went out to win the 3rd set and then I decided to read the comments on here lol.

WTF happened???

That boy is done

I turned off tennis went Rafa went up a break in the third set. Suffice to say I don't think I've ever been so shocked to see a result the next day. Rafa was in complete control.

I was lucky enough to wake up and turn it back on around the end of the 3rd set. Unbelievable play by both. Makes women's tennis look like tidily winks. Although Serena / Mattek was at least watchable after the first set.

Even when Fognini won the 4th, I thought Nadal would still win the 5th, so I went to bed.

One of my biggest shocks was this Clijsters match:

2011 French Open: Kim Clijsters upset in second round; Maria Sharapova survives

She was up 5-2 in the 2nd set and had match point.

Even when she lost the 2nd set, the broadcasters talked about her as if she's win the 3rd for sure, and how she'd show her resolve.

Instead she lost 6-1 in the 3rd.

She had been playing so well to get up 5-2 on Rus' serve.

Up early (for me on a sat) watching Tomic/Gasquet right now. Looking to be a high quality match.

Humidity isn't as bad today from what the commentators are saying.

Yeah it really cool down here the last few days. Tomorrow is supposed to be nice as well but it is going to get really hot again from Monday thru Wednesday

This Berdych/Garcia Lopez is damn good.

Wish I could be there and it is on my favorite court at the open

Women's Tennis is at its most pathetic era EVER. Which is why SW winning slams at her age is hardly surprising and the equivent of a penalty kick goal minus any goalie. I still don't get how someone as large as her weighing close to 200 lbs is moving around the court.

This is complete and absolute nonsense. What the hell are you talking about? As usual Hs002 doesn't make sense here. Fact. Do you think the stabbing of Monica contributed to the slams Steffi got in her absence? She was shellacking Steffi prior to the stabbing. Remember the 36 year old Martina Navratilova even beat Steffi!

Congratulations, Vika. As usual she is going about her business without any noise. We shall see.
