No, you can't judge a person's form from one match, but if it's a beatdown like such, he's not exactly heading for optimum form is he? But that said, he HAS beaten Federer on hard courts before.wuddie said:as much as you are making a point, you cannot judge a player's form from one match of tennis. nadal has some very good techniques in his game which are most suited to clay, but he still makes a hell of a player on grass, case in point being last year's wimbledon where it took a certain top seed to take him out in the final. but i feel that because of his extreme western grip, it takes much longer to wind up and go through the stroke, so slower surfaces will suit him more. whereas on hard courts, he either has to play far back from the baseline, or he simply doesn't have the time to wind it up and go for a huge toppy. i cannot see nadal winning the aust or us open unless he changes his game.
if nalbandian can continue his form from the end of last year, where he ripped everyone (yes, incl federer), he will win it.
Sharapova meets Davenport in the 2R, so chances are you might not see her beyond Wednesday. And I agree with her screeching: someone should DO something about it. Monica Seles was told to shut up before Wimbledon 1992, and lost to Graf something like 62 61 LOL. Even if it's just for a psychological edge - I say, screw the "unseen" rules - you do what you do to win, and if her screams distract you then hell COMPLAIN!aznboystar said:was watching sharapova play, needed a break.
i really hope that she doesnt make it far cuz i really hate the screeching (it makes my ears bleed and ruins the tennis experience). she is a good player, but i really dont like watching her play.
i heard sumwhere that he screeches reach like 120 decibels. thats kinda close to a jet taking off which is sumthing like 160 decibels.
sum stats huh?

Women: Don't really care, as long as its not serena williams.
