Such a magnificent win against Nadal makes Fish one of the favorites not only for Cincinnati, but for the US Open as well. His age (29) gives some doubts though...

Rafa's post match comments:
"Sometimes you are playing well; sometimes you are playing worse. I am playing a little bit worse now than well, so I accept the loss and work hard - that's the only way to come back to my best level," said Nadal.
"My movement wasn't perfect, I made more mistakes than usual with the forehand. I have to play more inside the court, more aggressively," he said.
"I have a few things to improve if I want to be ready for New York. I am going to work on that. I don't know if I will be in perfect condition in New York, but for sure, I will try everything."
Vamos Rafa.............................see u in New York!!

the same old story...I wish if he could say something different, something new something unexpected, whatever that might be...I can't even count how many times he had said he needs to "play more inside the court, more aggressively" and then what happens...Rafa has to change his mindset and he certainly has to implement what he says he would do...Rafa has to WAKE UP and FIGHT!!!
VAMOS!!!
