Robin Soderling: What he said, really meant and definitely did not
What he said:
“Against the world No. 1, you never expect anyone to play bad.I mean, it would be pretty stupid.”
Robin Soderling claims that Rafael Nadal’s bad-mouthing his own form had no impact on his level of play against the World No.1.
What he really meant:
“Come on , we all know how modest Nadal really is. Do you really think I’d play terrible just because he says he’s not up to par?”
What he definitely didn’t:
“I’m bad, I’m bad. Cause I run UPT.
(Bad bad-really, really bad)
You know I’m bad, I’m bad.
You know it.
(Bad bad-really, really bad)
You know I’m bad, I’m bad.
Cause I run UPT, you know.
(Bad bad-really, really bad)
And the whole world has to
answer right now
Just to tell you once again,
Who’s bad…”

Roger Federer: What he said, really meant and definitely did not
What he said:
“It was jogging shoes with jeans and a practice shirt, now I dress more accordingly to where I’m going and have started taking a joy in putting on suits. Maybe I have 25 or 35 [suits], I’m not sure. I think it’s important to offer something different to the fans and important you enjoy it, and I do.”
Roger Federer lets us know that his fashion sense has matured over the years together with his game and 16 majors.
What he really meant:
“Come on, folks, I have to spend all those dollars somewhere and why not on nice clothes? 35? Is that too much for a multi-millionaire?”
What he definitely didn’t:

“I’m not playing well enough to win this tournament.”

What he really meant:

What’s winning but a second hand emotion
What’s winning got to do, got to do with it
Who needs one more French Open
When my legs are creaky and broken.”

It’s official.
This year’s French Open is not about Roger Federer. Was it ever? Except for that little aberration in 2009, with Rafa missing.
It’s centres on that Serbian upstart Novak Djokovic and that muscled monster, Rafael Nadal.
Who’s Roger, indeed?
Novak Djokovic discovers his clay legs in Madrid against Nadal
Novak Djokovic defeated Rafael Nadal 7-5, 6-4 at the Madrid Masters on May 8, 2011.
Was it expected?
Yes and no.
Yes, because Nole is on an unbeaten streak, second only to McEnroe’s 42 in 1984.
No, because it was in Spain, on clay and against Rafael Nadal.

You think that maybe he’s vulnerable , that maybe, just maybe, the challenge of Djokovic and the younger brigade is too much to push back; it’s just too much pressure to hold on but then along comes clay season, and Rafael Nadal rises to the occasion, undulating effortlessly to the top.
“You can’t touch me here, I float like a butterfly and sting like a bee” is what the Majorcan sings out, scything through the field like a knife through melted butter.
This Sunday, it was the Barcelona Open making it two out of two for the Spaniard on his favourite surface this year.
Once again, it was his compatriot David Ferrer who succumbed to the No. 1’s might.
Saina Nehwal, Somdev Devvarman,Sania Mirza and Yuki Bhambri celebrate Indian sport

Cricket

Team India now face Australia in the quarter-finals at Motera, Ahmedabad.
The bowling has regained some of its zing with R Ashwin’s entry. Question marks remain especially about the lower order. Home advantage should count for something specially against a no-longer-mighty Australia.
