When a man lies he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives. All this I cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?

 So this is over.

 Assuming Rafa holds on here, my thread title would technically still be correct since the younger player won each final. :v:

That and repeatedly beating the other guy who is GOAT contender.

Likewise Fed winning here would shut down even the most partisan minority to his claim, especially as it'd be at his age and against the opponent who has been so dominant over him.

 Well he gave me hope in the fifth but I forgot that he can't convert break points worth a poo poo.

And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Well between the two of them Nadal's service game has gone to poo poo. Hope.

This is so brutal. If he was being outclassed completely like at the USO 2015 against Djokovic then fine, but this feels so winnable.

Nadal's first serve is so weak it couldn't break an egg.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Some goons overreact. Go figure.
 If Nadal wins this, I'll know that the curse of 2016 is ongoing. If Fed wins, the curse is over, we can start to breathe easy again.

No pressure, Rog.
