...for an interesting doubles match to end. Our boy Horia Tecau and our...adopted boy Robert Lindstedt face Marc Lopez and Rafa Nadal in the Queen's second round. Firstly, we were waiting for it to start on Wednesday, but the other matches were too long and it was postponed. Then, we were waiting for it to start on Thursday. It finally started, but after a first set won by Brad and Horia, it had to be suspended. Right now, we are waiting and waiting and waiting, because it is scheduled fifth on Court 1. Fifth! A match which should have ended on Wednesday!
However, a win over M.Lopez and Nadal would be the perfect thing for Robert and Horia, as a preparation for Wimbledon. I know Rafa is not a doubles player, but everywhere I see 'Nadal' or 'Rafael', I know it's not an easy match. The winners' opponents in the quarters will be the second favourites, Mirnyi and Nestor. A huge challenge. After a huge challenge.
In my opinion, everyone has his chance in this match. Horia and Robert know each other so well, they have won many tournaments together. On the other side of the court, Marc and Rafa have played together before and have won important matches. So yes, if Rafa doesn't break himself on the slippy grass, they really are a strong team.
