Pouille alive. What a great match

 

[Milchmann]

Please tell me Pouille isn't an idiot like Kyrgios. I want to believe in the Pouille future.

 

[Griegite]

Wow. I thought it was over and now I see it is tied 4-4.

Now Deuce

 

[-bakalhau-]

Holy shit Pouille........ You screwed up there.


Edit: Rafa saved you there afterwards.

 

[Niraj]

Every time that happens I die a little

 

[MIMIC]

I think this is my first REAL look at Pouille. He has been tremendous thus far.

But I took a shower at 4-2, expecting Nadal to be serving for the set by now....and we're back on serve? Wow.

 

[Simply Sami]

Nadal throwing it away again. I remember when his opponents used to be the chokers. But seems now he is.

 

[Speevy]

Better ending than the Wawrinka match anyway.

Please tell me Pouille isn't an idiot like Kyrgios. I want to believe in the Pouille future.

Nah he's a legit hard worker who puts in the hours to improve. He's a kid with a good head on his shoulders. The total opposite of Paire.

I wouldn't say he's got a good head yet.

[-bakalhau-]

What a fucking half volley, what a fucking half volley....

 

[joebruin]

niceeee half volley

 

[LuuKyK]

Wow Pouille is playing amazing. I wonder if he will have the mental fortitude to stand with Nadal grinding in an eventual tiebreak and not drown in UE.

 

[oti]

Yo Angie was supposed to start her victory at 1 AM CET how rude.

 

[MIMIC]

Uh oh....

4-*1, Pouille

 

[BlindCommunication]

I wouldn't say he's got a good head yet.

At least he didn't insult Delpo's girlfriend! Though he was right in that instance, Delpo took his sweet time to challenge.

Quite a few nervy looking shots in this tie-break so far.

 

[joebruin]

don't blow this man haha

 

[ColdPizza]

Damn. This is it.

 

[Niraj]

Oh boy

 

[MIMIC]

MATCH POINT, Pouille

 

[Diprosalic]

Will choke.

Edit: there it is

 

[ColdPizza]

omfg

 

[FrigidEh]

Wow at that first serve

 

[Rainy]

Oh boy

 

[Griegite]

He went through 3 match points...

 

[MIMIC]

That serve though.

He's CLEARLY nervous as fuck, lol. That serve hit the baseline, looks like

 

[oti]

mon dieu

 

[joebruin]

haha this is what happens when you play not to lose

 

[MIMIC]

Both of them with hilarious errors xD

 

[ColdPizza]

Both guys must be gassed.

 

[oti]

muchos wowzos

 

[MIMIC]

HE DID IT

 

[ColdPizza]

Nice forehand. Wow.

 

[Speevy]

Fucking deserved!

 

[sam777]

Well done to Pouille in the end Nadal was not good enough

 

[Frankfurter]

Amazing match!

 

[Niraj]

Damn, what a way to win it

 

[oti]

And Djokovic will play 9 games before his opponent gives up.

 

[-bakalhau-]

I wish both of them could get through. 1st time watching Pouille, color me impressed. Well done. Well done Nadal too.

 

[Diamond]

Nice job Lucas ! What a match !

 

[LuuKyK]

Wow didnt expect him to recover after wasting those 3MPs but he did great in that TB.

Great player this Pouille. How old is he?

 

[Simply Sami]

Nadal threw that away. It was basically a repeat of Fognini match.

 

[Speevy]

What really impressed me was how many times Pouille could have choked, but didn't.

 

[FrigidEh]

Amazing match!

 

[Kensuke]

Pouille seems like the real deal. He won his third 5-setter in a row and the last one against one of the fittest players on the tour. After being a break down in the fifth. Incredible effort.

 

[sam777]

Nadal threw that away. It was basically a repeat of Fognini match.

Not as bad but after being a break up in the fifth he should be solid enought to see it out. Credit to Pouille though as he never faded away when others would have.

 

[Milchmann]

I have never been a Nadal fan, but I really want him to win another slam.

 

[MIMIC]

I'd say that the tiebreak favored Pouille anyway, the way he was playing. Nadal could just only hope for Pouille to choke (which he started doing). But Nadal started choking himself, which was a little surprising.

 

[sam777]

Now my main is out, time to support DelPo.

 

[Speevy]

Now my main is out, time to support DelPo.

You always support Delpo, until Ano delpo cometh.
