What a point from Nadal.

 

[Squalor]

There's the break.

Who is Novak talking to?

Sometimes himself, which he does all then time. Sometimes his corner.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Yeah, all crazy people lol. I can't even tell you how many names I was called names, accused of things, etc., on cycling forums with Lance circa about his 5th title. Not saying they are completely the same but the name calling and such and OMG what did you do type of comments are exactly the same, except my own country's fans were very much bastards about it. The US fanbase over Lance was ridiculously protective.

Now all we see is Lance hate and oh I thought he was always doping. Complete crap. Most people loved Lance and defended him until the day of his admission, some still after.

I myself will hold no allegiances to these people. Serena Williams as well, whom I think is one of the biggest women's dopers too.

Apropos of nothing, people really forgave Michael Jackson the second he died eh?

 

[Pepiope]

It's over. Nole is still better than Rafa on every other surface.

 

[John Dunbar]

cap is only super effective against latvians, it would seem.

also, i think nadal is finally driving djokovic mad. crazy eyes.

 

[Squalor]

Guy in the suit made a great catch, haha.

Apropos of nothing, people really forgave Michael Jackson the second he died eh?

That guy has already made up his mind with no proof.

There is no point trying to reason with him.

But bring up a Michael Jackson comparison is way out there.

 

[Niraj]

Whoa.

 

[raven777]

This is the chance for Novak.

 

[rando14]

wtf?

 

[John Dunbar]

is nadal's back going again? no way would he fake it when he has everything under control.

 

[Confrontation]

Don't see you crying about that shot, Novak.

 

[Squalor]

Come on, Nadal's back. Just give him two more games.

 

[DemurOnion]

Tough case. I dunno as I didn't follow it as much but I doubt it. I couldn't really say one way or another if that man was just a weird childlike dude who liked to play with children or a molester.

With Lance people really seemed to pile on excessive hate, even though his fellow riders mostly still uphold him as champion. And really, I might as well too because that particular sport was so thoroughly awash in drugs that to me I don't think it mattered. The whole top ten were doing it pretty much.... but then again there may have been a couple in that top ten who were not so....

It's hard for me to blame dopers, even Nadal. It's hard to say how prevalent it is. Nadal has had too many conspicuous problems though, and that makes me dislike him more.

And so what about all this proof BS. Geez man. Lance would have NEVER EVER been caught if people took this line of thinking to heart. EVER. I've read in-depth about Nadal and all his issues. With that evidence I have decided I don't trust the man. I didn't say 100% he was doping but it's damn near close to that after all I have read and heard from people in the industry.

 

[MIMIC]

Novak's ability to blow return after return after return is quite astounding

 

[Faith]

It's over, Nadal is gonna win.

 

[killer_clank]

whoa

 

[greenleaves]

Nadal out of nowhere making more errors.

 

[Niraj]

lol I like how they're playing Get Lucky

 

[Dr.Acula]

That guy has already made up his mind with no proof.

There is no point trying to reason with him.

Also, the Michael Jackson comparison is way out there.

I mean as with Armstrong, public opinion is like a tide, and it can move in or out very quickly.

 

[Draconian]

Yeah, I can't stand Novak. Spends way too much of the game crying when it's not going his way.

 

[Squalor]

Nadal out of nowhere making more errors.

His back has been bad since Australia, haha.

 

[Kensuke]

Dreadful final. Not because of the obvious result. The tennis was simply boring and full of errors.

 

[Sax Russel]

Novak's ability to blow return after return after return is quite astounding

This and hitting so many shots at Nadal instead of the open court have been the most frustrating things about watching this match.

 

[MIMIC]

This whole match is pathetic.

Just give it to Gulbis

 

[Dr.Acula]

Yeah, I can't stand Novak. Spends way too much of the game crying when it's not going his way.

When's Milos Raonic gonna make his charge? Canada needs a champ

How accurate are those eagle eye recreations or whatever you call them anyway? Tennis seems to trust them way too much.

 

[Smellycat]

This match can't possible go to a fifth set, can it?

 

[Confrontation]

Yeah, I can't stand Novak. Spends way too much of the game crying when it's not going his way.

This. Fun guy when it's all going well and he's relaxed, but the moment it's going badly, he's acts like a prick at times. Nadal ball lands in the corner, gets a cynical laugh, but boy did he love his defensive lob that fell right on the line.

 

[DemurOnion]

What is more likely a 5th set here or TLG being shown at E3? Quick hehe.

If this goes 5 it would be nice I guess. But I hope Joker would have the gas.

I prefer him to emotionless Federer or Sampras, but I still gotta praise the goat, Johnny Mac!

YOU CAN NOT BE SERIOUS!

 

[Niraj]

Can't believe Gulbis lost to this chump.

 

[Squalor]

Aw, there goes baby Djokovic.

A fifth set is way more likely between these two invalids.

 

[Dr.Acula]

 

[Niraj]

Mary, just stop your dumb analogy. Nobody cares.

 

[Confrontation]

I understand. I do enjoy watching guys blow up aswell at times, but that one moment there was just a bit annoying to watch.

 

[MIMIC]

awkward, lol

 

[Niraj]

That was weird :/

 

[greenleaves]

Nadal tripped over himself while celebrating. lol

 

[Squalor]

It seems he didn't tweak anything.

I hope he didn't.

They are playing better now than they were fifteen minutes ago, haha.

 

[zero_suit]

Match just got godly.

 

[MIMIC]

McEnroe already talking about a 5th set.

Really? lol When Nadal is 4 pts away from the match?

 

[Dr.Acula]

I understand. I do enjoy watching guys blow up aswell at times, but that one moment there was just a bit annoying to watch.

One thing I like about tennis is that you cannot hide because of the pace of the game. There are no teammates, no masks, no place on the court you can walk to, no where to hide. Gotta contain or unleash the emotions, and no matter what you do everyone sees it.

 

[Squalor]

Match just got godly.

It's as though adrenaline has transcended illness and injury, haha.

 

[Niraj]

McEnroe already talking about a 5th set.

Really? lol

McEnroe has a tendency to say whatever comes to mind in the hopes that some of it will stick. That way it can seem like he got out in front of it.

 

[Squalor]

All he said was "Can you imagine if this went to a fifth set."

Geez.

 

[santi_yo]

 

[Niraj]

This is a huge point.

 

[Squalor]

That Nadal winner was god-like.

Edit: Oh shit, match point.

 

[cackhyena]

Oh boy...

 

[zero_suit]

Well well

 

[ashecitism]

....and that's that.
