U.S. Open 2011: Round Two

Yey! Rafa is through with round two! I know he's going to win the title again, I feel it in my bones.

Nevermind what Nicolas Mahut is telling the media:

"I think maybe he doesn't have as much confidence as he had at this time last year. He doesn't go for it as much as he used to. He's not as aggressive as he used to be."

It's all mind game. That statement comes from a man who lost two games in a row, 6-2, 6-2 and to save his ugly face, he retires at the start of 3rd set from abdominal pain. Excuse, excuses!

Rafa may seem to lack confidence but really he's just being his humble self and being realistic about his game. Anything can happen when it comes to tennis.

This is what Rafa told the media last year:



"The people remember the last day when you are with the trophy, when you play fantastic in the final. But to arrive at [that] moment is not everything in the way of roses. You don't play fantastic every match and every moment."

And he won the title!

Even Novak should watch out.
