Another break!

 

[szaromir]

Nadal and his infamous cheating ways. Sadly the conditions now will slow down dramatically approaching sunset and will favor Nadal.

 

[Bigfoot]

Bets on how long it will take for Nadal to call a MTO? He has already used his patented stalling and illegal coaching... why not use some more gamesmanship / cheating?

 

[Vomiaouaf]

What the hell, Nadal. :-|

 

[darkwing]

meh Nadal will still win this with all the antics

 

[Machine Messiah]

OMG I wish I was watching this at home. Nadal losing while doing his little "gamesmanship" tricks is always fun to watch. (I'm not a fan of him.)

edit: no way Nadal loses the match though

 

[MIMIC]

Nadal in some deep shit.

 

[tycoonheart]

Been running around at work all day.

Finally back in my office to enjoy some tennis.

 

[modulaire]

Please serve it out!

 

[szaromir]

Just one more set, please.

 

[tycoonheart]

Oh snap.

Down 2 sets to 1.

 

[MIMIC]

Wow, Nadal gonna have to come back in 5 to win

 

[Diprosalic]

my confidence in nadal losing is still only at 3-4%

 

[zero_suit]

Wow, Nadal gonna have to come back in 5 to win

..which is feasible

 

[sfedai0]

Nadal is gonna take a long ass bathroom break for this one.

 

[hyp3rlink]

Lots of Nadal haters in these parts!!

 

[Hootie]

Nadal will win the next two sets.

 

[MIMIC]

Lots of Nadal haters in these parts!!

Don't worry. I don't hate him more than I do Fed =p

j/k

 

[Vomiaouaf]

Nadal suffering from explosive galactic diarrhea. Graphic MTO after the commercial break, stay tuned.

 

[darkwing]

it's approaching sunset, time to waste more time

 

[Diprosalic]

Lots of Nadal haters in these parts!!

i like him, but as a hardcore federer fan i don't want him winning majors anymore. i like djoko more too.

I don't hate Nadal off court... he seems like a nice person normally. However on court he is an ass, his game is ugly, and he takes forever to serve.

 

[sfedai0]

VAMOS!

 

[Peru]

Have to admit I didn't know this Rosol.

That, and he blatantly receives coaching.

 

[Vomiaouaf]

And he manages to make "pulling-underwear-out-of-your-ass-after-every-point" the unsexiest move on the circuit.

 

[Sax Russel]

Oh hey what's goi- whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

 

[MIMIC]

Apparently Nadal brushed up against Rasol during the changeover.

 

[Sax Russel]

Haha. This guy. He's just killing everything, and making most of them, I guess? I didn't see the previous sets but I'm surprised he's kept it up for so long.

 

[dummydecoy]

Is there a way to watch the matches online? Im in Asia btw.

 

[Machine Messiah]

I'm not watching now, but I was earlier. The guy is definitely hitting as hard as he can, as often as he can. Good for him! Maybe that's how you unnerve & potentially beat Nadal, if you can't out-grind him like Djokovic.

Federer wouldn't like it: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/spo...ak-djokovic-slam/story-fnbe6xeb-1226388010751

Djokovic was honest enough to admit his atomic forehand was a gamble. Federer snapped when it was suggested Djokovic deserved a little praise for being confident enough to go for broke.

"Confidence? Are you kidding me?" he shot back. "I mean, please. Some players grow up and play like that being down, and they just start slapping shots. I never played that way."

 

[tycoonheart]

^^
That was the most moronic thing to have come out of Roger's mouth. And he's had a bunch of those the past few years.

 

[The Super Bob]

Nadal game will finish tonight if they are still playing while it gets dark. Roof will come on.

He's such a sore loser.

the question is will Rosol will be able to play this kind of level for several more games, just amazing this guy is slapping those shots lol

BP!!!

 

[tycoonheart]

Damn, Rosol is giving it away. Nadal really hasn't done anything special.

 

[Diprosalic]

who would have thought?


well everybody.

 

[MIMIC]

Dem moonballs

 

[darkwing]

Damn, Rosol is giving it away. Nadal really hasn't done anything special.

yup, too many unforced errors this set, I guess it's a 5th set now

 

[The Super Bob]

It seems to me that it's easier for the top seeded players to grind games out in 5 sets. They have the experience of doing it against each other.

 

[BorkBork]

It's crazy to count Nadal out until he's actually out, even if he's playing like garbage.

That's why it's so hard to beat Nadal and Djokovic.

 

[darkwing]

yup, even with the score at 2-1, advantage is still to Nadal

 

[MIMIC]

They're closing the roof?

...

They're closing the roof!

 

[tycoonheart]

Oh lord, stoppage for fucking roof.

 

[Deadman]

Shut the roof, slow it down, give nadal the win.

 

[zero_suit]

Shut the roof, slow it down, give nadal the win.

He was going to win anyway. Rosol is fading.

this, I've stopped watching already lol
