Then why did you want an "investigation into match-fixing"? Or did I fail to read the sarcasm...
The upset was a combination of Rafa having a poor day and Soderling playing like a possessed man. Sod served very well and was keeping his groundstrokes verydeep, pinning Rafa well behind the baseline. Rafa on the other hand, made a lot of uncharaceristic errors, especially on his usually trusty forehand. Hisgroundstrokes were also landing very shallow (sometimes bouncing inside the service box), which allowed Sod to take control of so many rallies, running Rafaaround the court. A vital stat which popped out to me was in the 3rd set where Rafa, despite getting 92% of his first serves in, still lost 6-4. Sod alsohad more winners in each of the 4 sets than Rafa. Yeah, he had more unforced errors as well, but he also (almost) had twice as many winners as Rafa. Rafaonly winning 45% of his second-serve points was also crucial.
From what I've seen over the years, Rafa appears to be a pretty honest guy on the court. I don't believe, for a minute, that he "took adive"...

I mean, look at Rafa, if he can lose at RG of all places, I'm sure Roger still has room to win when others are not playing at the top of their game.
Oh no doubt in my mind, Rafa will be a force at Wimby. He proved it last year. He will be in contention and will win a majority of the tournamentshe enters, maybe excluding hard court events, but even that is not certain given how good Rafa is.Originally Posted by Curious24
