State Vice-Captain
The crowd was strongly behind Nadal even in the ceremony. I wonder how long it will take for crowds to warm to Novak.

The crowd were definitely favouring Rafa most of the night, but there was a huge amount of support for Novak as well. I was actually surprised.
I feel that many of the neutrals wanted Rafa to win in that 5th set because of his ridiculous comeback in the 4th when he looked gone.

what a wonderful win by novak! if he keeps this up for another 2-3 years (and barring any serious injuries, i don't see why not)...he will also enter the GOAT debate...what a fantastic era for men's tennis with three candidates for GOAT all playing at an exceptionally high level...and the 4th guy murray is good enough to have won at least 2-3 slams by now had roger, rafa and novak not been around...

I'm happy to pay them equal amounts as long as they play for **** all time so I don't have to watch their ****ty version of tennis and listen to their horrendous voices for too long.

Article is spot on regarding the time between points.
Sick of hearing about how players don't go to the net. I like variety too, but by God that match entertained pretty much everyone watching and at the stadium in a way that Llodra, Feliciano Lopez or Stepanek wouldn't ever come close to doing with their serve and volley game.
That being said I'm all for speeding up the Wimbledon surface.
There will always be conjecture about performance enhancing drugs and Rafa and now Nole. No point even going there since there is absolutely no proof whatsoever.

Yeah, I'm more with you than her (bit of nostalgia shining through) but she does have some points. On the PED thing, even if the top guys aren't using it now, the success of muscular power tennis rather than finesse and touch it will certainly be an impetus on the young players towards PED use - and when you combine that with possibly the laxest test regime of all Olympic sports, you have a really poisonous mix.
does the captain really have much of a role in davis cup?
