…but he played better than me, said Nadal in his post-game press conference. And that about sums it up from where we watched in the bleacher seats in our living room at Casa de Canterbury last night.
Vamanos!!
Well Sports Fans, the old woman Slow’s interest level in the first tennis Major of 2016 dropped like a ton of bricks with the exit of her all-time favorite player Rafa Nadal in Round Numero Uno which is Spanish for Round Number One of the Australian Open. Shit house mouse.
Spanish was everywhere last night as Fernando Verdasco, a fellow Spaniard, bid Rafael Nadal adios and don’t let the tennis racket hit you on the way out of the locker room, Amigo.
Here a Spaniard, there a Spaniard, everywhere a Spaniard, Spaniard. Australian Open had a match, e-i-e-i-o.
Can anybody help me here?
Apparently not, Rafa. The Red Man can’t decide if your problems are physical stamina for a fifth set, mental toughness for the fifth set 0r Por Favor Dios, is it the lack of new tactics to adjust to a changing men’s tennis game by your old Coach Uncle Toni???
Get me outta here Percy…hopefully Roger Federer will stay around for a while for Pretty’s sake while Slow sulks and moans about Rafa. Stay tuned, Sports Fans.
Red's Rants and Raves 
Sorry about one of your favorites not following through. Not being a tennis fan, I do not quite know how to comment. I hope someone your household likes will win in a match. Try to enjoy the Australian Open. ♡

All of us at Casa de Canterbury enjoy the tennis Majors and the Australian Open is actually our favorite, but Slow and Pretty have their favorites, that’s for sure. 🙂

It does seem a little terminal for Rafa at the moment. Perhaps a different coach is just what’s needed 😦

Holy Milkbones, Red! Tennis season already? Up north all we hear about are horses, horses, horses. Ma searches the newspaper and internet for horses. I’m getting this vibe that she’s thinking of adding to our happy family. I think Cassie Potatoes and I prefer she’d take up tennis. After a few twisted knees the old loon would give up. 😀
Much love from the soon to be snowy North.

Oh, bad news, Miss Pops…the old woman Slow practically salivates at the thought of your Ma having TWO horses…I know, I know…they’re both as daft as they can be…with any luck at all, your Ma won’t even think to get Slows opinion!! Case solved. We love our friends in the snowy North and hope you stay warm!!

Slow better get ready. No doubt Ma will trumpet news of a second horse to the barn rafters when it happens. Note: when, not if. I just better continue to get my two daily walks and a back massage or I’m chewing the leg off a table. 😀

Now this is very exciting news for one and all!! You and Cassie P may have to spend the winter with your cousins in the South…I fear Ma’s attention span will be elsewhere and what hope do you have for walks with Old Lady Nana??? 🙂
