Saturday: Rafa to play Rogelio in the final!!

It's amazing what Rafa is able to do while I'm sleeping.

The alarm went off, I acknowledged it, and then went right back to sleep. I guess my membership in the Rafael Nadal fan club is about to be revoked, or at least my Queen Bee status anyway.

Thank goodness for The Tennis Channel. I can watch the replay at 5 p.m.

Although I wouldn't know for sure, it appears the match was tough for Rafa at the outset. Gaudio got off to a good start, but even though Rafa lost the set, at 5-7, he kept fighting and then ran away with the matdh (as he would like to say), winning 5-7, 6-1, 6-1.

I wasn't' surprised that Roger beat Fernando Gonzalez, but Gonzo has been playing some great tennis all week. It really shows Roger's excellent form at the moment.

One would hope I'll be awake for the Rafa vs. Federer final tomorrow, although I may want to sleep through it. It probably will be a nail-biting experience, given how well Roger has been playing this week. Yes, this is Rafa's best surface, but he still isn't in top claycourt form yet.

Vamos, Rafa!!!

It's fine if you can't wake up but don't even THINK, much less type, that Rafa isn't in top claycourt form yet. It may be true, yeees, but we must be positive!! Vamos Rafa!!!!!

I may change my mind after I've watched the match. From what I've read it was a terrific match.
