Strange days they come......

Until yesterday Fish was only a complementary aliment for felines. Nowadays, however nobody seems to notice, he is probably the guy playing the finest tennis of them all.

Now, how a slender oversized guy with a lumberjack beard transforms himself in the number 7 tennis player in the world in a matter of weeks is something that goes beyond my understanding. Nonetheless he can play some vintage serve and volley for the benefit of the nostalgics.

Stephanek also does it well, hope he can give Djokovic a scare today.

Fish vs The Nadull should be interesting.

On current form you'd have to give ole fish eyes the advantage..

but Rafa does like a target.

I think there's a good chance Rafa will go out to Fish, just remember, Nadal's record post Wimbledon is atrocious. Even if he isn't knocked out by Fish, he won't win, I'm pretty certain of that.

Fish plays some quite decent shots from the back of the court at times and should be able to hurt Nadal.. main problem though has to be his movement cause i'm sure Nadal will want to send a message that he won't be ducking Nole

Stephanek also does it well, hope he can give Djokovic a scare today.

I would rate Stepanek's chances of winning as anywhere from non-existent to 99% non-existent. If he gets more than 3 games a set I'd be mighty surprised.

Anything can happen in the Golden Oldie Era.

After I've seen most of Nadal Verdasco match today, I've stopped dreaming of a white Christmas...

I am now officially dreaming of a Verdasco Fognini first rounder match, ideally a 5 setter, night session, extra windy condtitions..

Fishhhhhhhhhhh ishhhh ishhhh ishhhhh ishhhhh!

Before Stephane X made me look like a bloody fool but you Fish you would not let me down!

Fish today you were like a lion, or should I say a shark!! ( closest one)
