*Gulp*. Here it is, the final Slam of the season, the last remaining one that Rafa has yet to win, his most difficult, the one he says he will spend the rest of his career trying to win.
Are we ready for the start of THE US OPEN ???
The draw for Rafa has thrown up Gabashvili as his first round opponent with potential other matches against the likes Istomin, Kohlschreiber, Feli and a projected quarter-final against Nando or Nalbandian, and a difficult semi against Murray with Feds and Nole being the other seeded semi-final pairing.
The usual cries of 'cakewalk' draw have yawningly been mooted (have you seen Feds?? *doh*), but Nalby has always been one of Rafa's nemesis opponents and he displayed good form winning Washington and in Toronto. Rafa lost recently to Murray in Toronto, which means - of course - that Mandy now "owns" Rafa on hardcourts. ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
But this is a Slam, they always produce some unlikely results, they never fail to disappoint and I still maintain that this is one of Rafa's best chances to ever win it. I project him to get to at least the semi-final, and then after that ... who knows?? Whilst nervous, I have a good feeling, and as always ...
COME ON RAFA, YOU CAN DO IT, YOU CAN DO IT !!!!!
