Upset of the year
Just when I thought Rafa was unstoppable: Djokovic destroys Nadal (iht)
He’s set to be number 1 this year too. I thought he was going to go all the way to the final in Cincinnati, just like the one in Toronto 2 weeks ago. I didn’t even bother following all his matches cos he was just [...]
