Rosol better fucking win the whole thing now. God, Rafa just looked bad.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

Rosol's serve = wow

thank god rafa is out

 

[zomgbbqftw]

YES!!!!
Upset of the year, if not decade.

The only one I can think of in the same bracket is Dokic beating Hingis in the first round in 1999.

 

[cashman]

Can we attribute this to Nadal playing like shit, or Rosol playing the match of his career?

Rosol was amazing.

 

[Nolan.]

Uhm, well wow... I thought he looked menacing in the first set then I tune in to see this match still going (I assumed Nadal would have won) wow

 

[kharma45]

Hopefully he doesn't go out in the next round.

 

[Willkiller]

All hail Rosol. Kingslayer

 

[Keen]

Söderlind beating Nadal at the French (although higher ranked, later stage and Nadal injured)

 

[zero_suit]

Rosol's serve = wow

thank god rafa is out

Don't worry, Fed will still lose to The Djoker if he makes it that far.

 

[Exterminieren]

Good God.

What a stunning performance from Rosol.

Nadal not at his best, but a quite impeccable game from Rosol

 

[miserable]

Moments like this makes you appreciate Federer's consistency.

Exactly.

 

[bluestuff]

tune in from the Euro cup to this.

[Diprosalic]

lol you missed the match of the year

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

Don't worry, Fed will still lose to The Djoker if he makes it that far.

Haha, you remember me from the french open thread....

Well anything can happen, as this match has just proven.

Spoiler

but you are probably right

 

[LanceVance]

Nadal looked out of shape in both his matches, Rosol was absolutely amazing though, those last two service games especially, brilliant match from him.

 

[MIMIC]

Murray literally frothing at the mouth right now.

 

[Clegg]

 

[Diprosalic]

time to change to a RFED avatar.

 

[Bigfoot]

Söderlind beating Nadal at the French (although higher ranked, later stage and Nadal injured)

Nadal didn't lose that match because he was "injured". He beat Hewitt like 6-1,6-1,6-1 a couple days before that lose so Nadal was fine. He lost because Soderling played like Rosol played today... fearless tennis and everything in to the corners.

 

[John Dunbar]

Too bad this dude's probably going to lose to Kohlschreiber next.

Did you even watch that match? Nadal was not well. He didn't miss Wimbledon after that just for laughs.

 

[navanman]

Murray literally frothing at the mouth right now.

He will choke bad. So much pressure now as he is seen as certain to reach final now.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Tuned in after the football and that Rosol fella has disgusting manners spitting all over the court, was he like this throughout the entire game?

 

[Twenty7KVN]

It looked like that suspension killed any momentum Rafa had.

 

[Diprosalic]

Murray literally frothing at the mouth right now.

so he can get 4 finals losses?

 

[Nolan.]

Murray literally frothing at the mouth right now.

Still wont win

 

[MIMIC]

This was karma for the delay at the French.

The delay hurt Djoker (after an 8-game winning streak), and now it comes back to hurt Nadal (after dominating the 4th). ^_^

I agree, just heading off the usual complaints!


Still, an injured Nadal is more than a match for most at Roland Garros. Söderlind player amazing.

 

[Clegg]

It looked like that suspension killed any momentum Rafa had.

How deliciously ironic.

the delay was roughly an hour, wasn't it?

 

[chessnut]

If it comes down to it, I think Tsonga has the edge over Murray.

 

[MIMIC]

He will choke bad. So much pressure now as he is seen as certain to reach final now.

Oh, no doubt.

 

[Ape Gone Insane]

Utterly amazing. He completely deserved that win, and it's not going to be something he will ever forget, no matter what the outcome of his next match.

I should have watched this over the football. Goddamnit for expecting Nadal to just cruise through the rounds.

 

[Bigfoot]

Too bad this dude's probably going to lose to Kohlschreiber next.



Did you even watch that match? Nadal was not well. He didn't miss Wimbledon after that just for laughs.

Yes, I watched it. Watch it again and check it out on Youtube Rafa was playing all out that match, but Soderling was on that day. Sure, Rafa had knee pain that year and took some time off after the loss, but he didn't lose to Soderling for that reason.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Wow what an upset.

Crazy day in sports.

 

[Hootie]

If it comes down to it, I think Tsonga has the edge over Murray.

begin the Tsonga era!

 

[Diprosalic]

now federer only needs to hope that someone does this to djoker. i always said that this happening is his chance even if he is well in to his 30s.

 

[MIMIC]

the delay was roughly an hour, wasn't it?

Yeah.

Rasol had just enough time to regroup and Nadal had just enough time to lose the momentum.

 

[Speevy]

Anything short of a little girl running onto the court and beating Djokovic in straight sets will pale in comparison to what Rosol just did.

 

[Diprosalic]

Yes, I watched it. Watch it again and check it out on Youtube Rafa was playing all out that match, but Soderling was on that day. Sure, Rafa had knee pain that year and took some time off after the loss, but he didn't lose to Soderling for that reason.

and soderling went to the finals. so it wasn't him just playing well on that day. he backed it up next year. this wasn't a fluke win.

 

[Nolan.]

If it comes down to it, I think Tsonga has the edge over Murray.

If only he could keep his focus for long enough he'd be even more dangerous

 

[Twenty7KVN]

How deliciously ironic.

Rafa haters out in full force i see

 

[Wes]

The only one I can think of in the same bracket is Dokic beating Hingis in the first round in 1999.

Krajicek beating Sampras. Soderling over Nadal at Roland Garros. Not many more come immediately to mind in the Mens for sure.

 

[Smellycat]

I can't believe what I just watched. Rosol was unbelievable!!!! What a performance. I only caught most of the last set, and he was really clutch.

Murray must be very happy with this result.

 

[Diprosalic]

federer beating sampras.


oh well maybe not lol.

 

[MIMIC]

Fish, Tsonga, Baker, Murray, Roddick.....

The draw. It is wide open

 

[Diprosalic]

now you mentioned it, wouldn't it be nice if roddick got his wimby title?

 

[zero_suit]

Fish, Tsonga, Baker, Murray, Roddick.....

The draw. It is wide open

They're not serious contenders.
