Rafael Nadal Wins Quarterfinal Thriller at Indian Wells

ATP Masters Series 1000 - Quarterfinal

2 Rafael Nadal d David Nalbandian - 46 75 64

Rafa was a couple points from defeat in that 2nd set & turned it around.

Also, this marks the first time his serve has been broken this tournament.

He'll face Federer for the 28th time (18-9/RN) but for the 1st time at IW.

This marks Rafa's 7th straight trip to the Sf's at IW: 3-3.

The 2-time champ ('07 & '09) was runner-up to Novak last year.

Roger may have won his 250th Masters 1000 match - this was Rafa's 215th.

Double duty: Rafa is also in the doubles final tomorrow with Marc Lopez.

They are looking for their 2nd IW title together - against Isner/Querrey.

That ought to be a cracker.

After the match he met Ben Stiller.

Federer Spanks Del Potro Again - This Time in the Quarters at Indian Wells

ATP Masters Series 1000 - Quarterfinal

3 Roger Federer d 9 Juan Martin Del Potro - 63 62

Roger has played 5 tournaments this season...

And in his last 4 he's made DelPo his bitch. It's kinda ridiculous.

The win was another Roger milestone - 250 Masters 1000 match wins.

And if it's not clear, it's already a record - he's just adding to it.

This the 3-time champ's 7th IW Sf: 3-3. He's lost his last 3, including 2011.

Roger: I sort of expected myself to come out and play a good match today...

After the struggle I had against [Thomaz] Bellucci.

I don't usually struggle back-to-back days...

So this was for me a really good match against a great player.

Roger will play Rafael Nadal for a 28th edition in the Sf: 18-9/RN.

They've played all over the world but oddly enough never at Indian Wells.

Even tho she's in Roger's box I bet Gwen secretly likes Rafa.

Martina Navratilova Set to Goofy-Foot on Season 14 of Dancing With the Stars

Inspired casting would have had Chris Evert on the show as well.

You know - one more H2H in their unmatched (in all sports) rivalry.

***

A little something about the legend that is Martina Navratilova:

Born in Czechoslovakia. Defected to the US in 1975. Out and proud lesbian.

She won 167 singles titles & 177 in doubles - both records for men & women.

In Grand Slam play she ranks 3rd (w Evert) with 18: 3 AO, 2 RG, 9 W, 4 US.

In doubles she won 31 Slams (most with Pam Shriver) & 10 in mixed doubles.

Her 1st & last Slams were both mixed titles: '74 RG & '06 USO.

And in that that span of 32 years she won a grand total of 59 Slam titles.

A perfect set: Martina owns a title in singles, duds & mixed at all 4 Slams.

The Hall of Famer held the year-end #1 ranking 7 times.

***

For Dancing With the Stars Martina is partnered with Tony Dovolani.

In 12 seasons he has made the finals once: 3rd with Melissa Rycroft.

Oops: The last tennis player to dance was Monica Seles. A 1st round loss.

Best of luck Martina. Those bitchy judges better be nice to you.

Chelsea Handler to Maria Sharapova, "You ARE a bitch!" - From Chelsea Lately Feb 27, 2012

Maria: I brought you a dress. You're an extra small right?

Chelsea: See, you are a bitch! (to audience) I like her.

Maria: I really am.

Maria Sharapova at Vera Wang's NYC Show

A glimpse at how Maria spent part of her Valentine's Day.

Viola Davis looks bored - maybe she's daydreaming about Oscar.

And don't get me started on Roger's bestie, Anna Wintour.

I have a pet-peeve about sunglasses indoors - it's rude and just dumb.

She's so gross. Just go home - surely your ice bath has been drawn.

His 1st real test may come in the Qf's where he's on course to play Ferrer.

After his match today he had a chat with footballer Cristiano Ronaldo.

Novak captioned the photo he tweeted: With Ronaldo in Madrid.

Good to see one of the best football players in the world coming to tennis.

Two (handsome) sports stars at the top of their respective games.

The Roger Federer & Pete Sampras bromance continues...

With floor seats. Kobe Bryant. No wives. It's all too much.

Shouldn't one of them be feeding the other one popcorn?

Just kidding folks... Calm down.

Rafael Nadal & Kevin Spacey Play Ping Pong

You have to be dead inside not to think this is pretty damn cute.

This took place last night at the Laureus Awards in Abu Dhabi.

Where Rafa took home the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year Award.

Me thinks Kev is a  big tennis fan.

Remember he was courtside at the O2 for the season ending tournament.

Kenny Rogers Attends Rafa's Matchs at Australian Open

Kenny and his wife Wanda Miller attended Rafa's match last night.

Widen that pic & I'm sure you'd find their plastic surgeon sitting with them.

BTW, when I was a kid I totally thought the lyric was:

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille...

With 400 children and a crop in the field.

Opening iTunes now. Need a Kenny Rogers Greatest Hits fix. Not kidding.

Yes, I have me some Kenny on my hard drive. Oh, come on now:

The Gambler, Coward of the County, Daytime Friends, Islands in the Stream.

That's right. You just forgot.

Now that I think about it - there is a Kenny Rogers Roasters down the street.

And the lunch hour approaches...

Roger Federer gets Downright Goofy as Rafael Nadal gets Completely Ducked

Loved the 2 exo's but the wins were obvs pre-determined.

I think they should play a 'for real' 3rd charity match on neutral territory.

Berlin could use some Rafa/Roger love, no?

Just a thought.
