What a performance by Rosol to put out Nadal.

Judging by what I saw of the game in the first couple of sets Nadal was lucky to get as far as he did, he was awful by his standards.  Rosol playing the game of his life, fair play to him.

I know very little about tennis, but I know that's one hell of a bloody result! Flicked over after the football just in time for the conclusion.

Rosol was awesome. If that's how he always plays, he'll be a star. Never seen Nadal destroyed like he was in the fifth set before. I think his last 3 service games were all love games.

He doesn't usually play anywhere near that! That's why he's outside the top 100 and had lost in the first qualifying round in the last five years at Wimbledon.
 Probably a one-off - but what a one-off.

Must make Murray the 2nd favourite to Djokovic now, as he was in Nadal's half of the draw.

Federer is struggling as well at the moment.

Federer takes it to a 5th set. I wonder if the other fella has blown his chance.

Not with his extravagant use of towels on the baseline.

Nevermind all this talk of the demise of Nadel and the survival of Federer, the main attraction is through to Round 4

The BBC don't seem to give her much tv coverage.

I see Rosol went out. So much for a star being born. How someone can play as well as he did the other night and be crap the rest of the time is beyond me.
