Awww, sorry you're feeling bruised - me too. Your rambling is fine by me - it's not even rambling! I think I need to talk about it actually.
On rf.com (shoot me now) there was a quite sensible theory that Roger let the match go after the second set, when he realised he wasn't going to break Mandy. Which would account for the third set I suppose? But he really did look pissed off with himself. And I imagine he hates just letting a match go like that, even if it's not an important one in the scheme of things. I would think all matches are important to Roger though, deep down. How can they not be, considering his frightening levels of competitiveness?
From the way Mandy has been playing recently, I always suspected he'd win this. I think you're right and we have to wait until Melbourne to see what's really happening with Rogelio.
