First Rogers cup, now out of Cincy, USO looking questionable for Rafa:

Anyone who's read this thread knows I cheer against him only because he's Roger's kryptonite, but honestly I've missed having him around this summer. With the other guys in the big 4 you might not get their best effort sometimes due to nerves, confidence or whatever (see Wimbledon/Olympics semis and finals). With Rafa, you might not like his weird rituals, slow rate of play, etc. but the one thing you can bank on is he'll play like his life depended on it. If someone wants to beat him, they basically have to take the match from his cold, dead hands.

I would have liked to see how this newfangled Murray would match up against a healthy, relentless Rafa. But if he's not gonna be around, hopefully they seed USO just like the Olympics and make Murray prove himself by going through Djoker and Roger again.
