Rafa prevails against James Blake ...


Rafa beat James Blake 7-5, 6-7, 6-3 although he had 2 match points in the second set which he promptly lost while on serve (quelle surprise). He wobbled early on in the third, but it seems that Blake faded and Rafa's infamous mental strength saw him through.

We now have the dream match in the quarters as he faces ... Marat Safin *swoons* ... who defeated Fernando Gonzalez in two sets. Would you credit it though. It is only the second time in their whole careers that Rafa and Marat have met and (a) I am at work (b) its not on the telly so I can't tape it. Hopefully the draw of the two hottest men in tennis will mean lots and lots of clips ...

Whilst Marat = sex on stick ... Rafa all the way for me. Vamos !!!

Anyhow, here are some clips ...

A lovely pre-tournament interview ...
