Its not all about you Shattered, strange as it may seem to you. A lot of posters were showing disrespect towards Moya.

You did say that he should have closed the match out earlier and capitalised on his break points, which in itself does not allow for level of Moya's play.

If you felt that I have demonstrated a lack of respect towards you, then I apologise. It was not my intention. I stress again - my anger is not all about you! The fact that you have ventured onto this thread, you have kind of put yourself in its path though - sorry!

>Its not all about you Shattered

Hey, when you say something like "I think you're one of those who didn't see the Moya vs. Nadal match",

and then, in another thread, something like "all the cretins who comment on matches they didn't see" (even though I didn't) the link is pretty obvious.

But ok, let's assume I believe you. Peace.

Sorry Nameless, thought I was...

Shattered, look back at the number of posts where I asked if someone watched the match. There were quite a few. Some, I didn't even need to ask the question. So, please - believe.

who would be the best draw for mario at the aussie open because he is bound to face a seeded player in the early rounds

I'd hope for Robredo. Lets see Blakes form at Sydney first.

Of course, not every non-seed gets a seed in the opening round - he may be lucky. Cross your fingers...
