the euros are every 4 years - wimbledon every year
therefore the euros are more important
also football is a far more subscribed to sport so its more important for a nation to do well as it makes the people in it happier.
this is however a tennis website so obviously the overwelming responce will be wimbledon
i wish england were in the final tonight - pity we are so crap

In Europe the main sport is football, no doubt about it, last match of Spain in Eurocup against Russia was watched by 16 million people only in Spain, so...FOOTBALL
I think this post has no sense, because in Europe and USA( lots of member from USA), we have different customs, for example i´ve never watched and i don´t know the rules for beisbol,ice hockey(NHL) or american football( and superball is very popular overthere with millions of spectators ( i don´t understand those sports but they love it), i prefer rugby, more natural and agressive.
Of course,I respect all countries customs, it would be boring if everybody does the same.

Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

What Nadal said in his blog, even for him is more important eurocup than wimbledon hehehehehee
Hi everyone,
Well, to be honest with all, if it was for me, I would only talk about football all night. I am writing this blog tonight a couple of hours after Spain has defeated Russia and qualified to play the final of the Eurocup of football. Big night for us Spaniards, very big. I love football and everyone knows it. I had a great time today and I am very proud of what the guys have done. What a match, what a team we have. I believe they can really win the whole thing and that could be historical for my country. I might sound a bit over excited, but you know what, I really am.
I watched the match again at home, at the house I have rented during my stay at Wimbledon. I had my team with me, the people traveling to the tournaments with me, also Feliciano Lopez and his team. We had a great time before and after and I am writing this short blog today before going to sleep.I have been asked if did really ask the organization to play early. And yes I did. I am not sure if this is very professional. Why not? we can do both, hhuhh? We can play our tournament and also be looking forward to watch football. I did ask to play early so that I could be on-time to watch the match. It is not only the tennis match itself that it was also pretty long (almost 4 hours). But after that I have some work in the changing room with my physiotherapist and then all the media and TV. That takes almost 1.5 hours.
Tomorrow I have that half day off as I call it since after practice I will take it easy and rest. Maybe it is not the right day to go for that ride on The Thames. Maybe next week if I am still at the tournament.
Many thanks to all and allow me to say today: Viva España !
Rafa
