Yay! Im very proud of Rafa for winning the Gold title :) Did anyone notice how accurately he was serving ?!?

Question

Rafa was serving amazing throughout most of that match :) Do you think it was because he used the body serve a little more, it was pretty effective ? Well im not sure, all i no whatever he is doing he is looking pretty Good on a very fast hardcourt surface :P! Great preparation for the US Open, im soooo proud his first Olympics playing singles and wins Gold, he`s simply the best ;) Roll on the US Open lol

Answer 1

Yeah, I'm so proud of him too :).  He did serve so well and Gonzalez only got a chance to break him in the third set, but it was just a little lapse in concentration and Rafa didn't let him break hehe :).  He's looking in good shape for the US Open ;).  Grrrr I'm so annoyed at the BBC too.  I mean, who wants to watch beach volleyball over the men's medal ceremony >:( !!  It would only have lasted 10 minutes but they couldn't show it even though they showed the women's.  I really wanted to see Rafa get his medal :(.  I'll phone and complain too haha !  

New #1 tomorrow !!!! Yayyyyyy :) :)

Vamos Rafa xx

Answer 2

not only the bbc, they cut the ceremony in most on the countries!! i believe they only showed it on spain, chile and china.-

(that's why the video of the ceremony is in spanish!, it's from spain's national television)

but yes, it's amazing!! such a great career and sch a short age, 5 slams, a davis cup tittle and now a gold medal and the number one position!!!!

this year's been an amazing year for rafa, and i'm so happy for him.-

his face said it all smiling and holding the spanish flag, so proud!!

Answer 3

Congrats to him winning Olympic gold at such a young age. I'm really happy for Dementieva too, she finally got her gold after the silver from 8years ago...

Answer 4

Brilliant serve. Highlights 7:30-9:30 of today's tennis. They better show it then. The BBC is assuming we only want to see British people.

Answer 5

I totally agree! He barely misses his first serves now! The only trouble he had were the two double faults in the final set.. He serves SO well now! Serving used to be his weak point a couple of years ago but its one of the BEST parts of his game now! :)

With the Olmypic gold under his belt he's got an even GREATER chance to win the US Open! VAMOS RAFA!

Answer 6

Nadal isnt my fave, but I'm still kidna happy for him that he won the gold :]

His serves were kind of like.. really invincible when he was playing out there today. Ahhh..I'm gonna miss Beijing, and the olympics, but till then, we'll see if he can do the same in London! :D

Answer 7

He served excellent and his serve is now a weapon and not a liability!! I think beach volleyball is fun but they should have shown the ceremony instead. Oh well... what can we do?

Answer 8

VAMOS RAFA!!!

on to the US Open!!!

consistent, tenacious, accurate, poised and powerful...

that's our man, GOLDEN Number 1!!!

p.s.:

saw the victory ceremony, it was awesome guys!!! heartwarming, really... ;)
