I miss arrogant Nole. Cuz *this* guy is just no fun to watch. He's got no confidence whatsoever and I don't really know where that came from. I thought his win in Shanghai at the end of last year would give him something to build on for this year. But instead it's as though he's trying to make a concerted effort to care less about tennis. I'm not sure why but doesn't it seem like he *trying* to be apathetic sometimes and stopping himself from getting fired up? It's really odd.
Not that his loss today to Jo is really anything to be ashamed of. I mean, it was a close match and we all know that when Jo is playing well he can beat anyone on any given day. But Jo's clearly in Nole's head now. I just wonder when/if this kid is going to recover anytime soon.
It'll be an all French final in Marseilles and Michael "Diesel" Llodra upset Gilly in straight sets.
