This Serena thing is so weird. Venus is basically playing 1 on 2.

Kyrgios is keeping it together.

 

[Confrontation]

Looks like decorated tape

Oh yeah, they just showed the super slowmo aswell. Looked so weird.

 

[agrajag]

damn, I love the way this guy Kyrgios is playing, so aggressive. He doesn't give a single fuck!

 

[Confrontation]

And he's lightning quick between points.

same as the other dudes Nadal has to face, watch for the steamrolling in the next 3 sets

naw man, someone has to Rosol him every year

 

[EvetS]

Nadal really can't read Nick's serve?

 

[chicko1983]

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi, oi, oi!!!!

 

[killer_clank]

Regardless of whether he makes it through this match, I'm really doubtful of Nadal going on to win this thing.

 

[agrajag]

Ballbash him to death Kyrgios!

 

[MIMIC]

I really hate Nadal's slice. It's so fugly looking, lol

 

[Niraj]

Wonder if Nadal will bump him on the changeover.

 

[Kajiba]

Man

Hope serena okay. Never seen her like that before.

 

[greenleaves]

Amazing maturity from Kyrgios. Glad to see more youngsters doing well.

 

[MIMIC]

Hasn't Nadal dropped the opening set in his last two or three matches?

 

[darkwing]

yup, lost the first set, went on to 6-1,6-1,6-1 something the next three lol

 

[Niraj]

Every match here so far.

 

[Niraj]

Nice way to close out the set. Don't go out like everyone else though please lol

 

[greenleaves]

Every match here so far.

The streak continues. Nadal loses the first set.

 

[oti]

Just saw the news, Kerber beat Sharapova? Woohoo, go Deutschland!

 

[darkwing]

meh here comes the steamrolling

 

[Deku Tree]

Get it together Rafa!!!

 

[oti]

Haha, carebear. Took me a couple of seconds.

 

[Reyne]

Kyrgios got game. Nice way to take that set.

Still, Nadal will probably emerge victorious today as well, three routine from here.

Love to see him prove me wrong though.

 

[Milchmann]

Every match here so far.

The Sharapova way.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

I'm not surprised Nadal dropped the 1st set. I WILL be surprised if he doesn't steamroll Krygios in 4 sets.

All of Nadal's opponents so far have not had the mental strength to beat him.

 

[agrajag]

Calling it now if Kyrgios goes up another set, Nadal will retire from the match.

 

[Deku Tree]

Nadal will have more trouble in the semis and finals giving away the first set like this if he gets there....

 

[Slayerx]

Shame about Maria, I hope Kvitova fulfills her potential and wins this again.

 

[oti]

I miss Henin and Hingis.

 

[MrJustinius]

Kyrgios playing very well. Not jumping on the new Aussie tennis hope here, as the last time everyone did that with Tomic, well...it just speaks for itself.

What's Rafa's excuse here? Still not recovered from his French Open injury?

I was just not playing my best tennis since my parents got divorced five years ago. Kygrios was the favorite, no? He was playing unbelievable.

losing the first set, and winning the next three is his formula this tournament

 

[MIMIC]

ROFLMAO

 

[Niraj]

lol awesome

 

[greenleaves]

Best baseline tweener winner I've ever seen.

 

[EvetS]

LOL shot.

 

[mclem]

*Nadal 6-7 (7-5) 3-3 Kyrgios

Posted at 17:26

To illustrate the dominance of the Kyrgios serve, the Aussie had won all 24 points when his first serve landed prior to this game. He has to endure a second deuce here, but Nadal eventually goes long on the backhand to give it up. How can he take anything when Kyrgios has the balls?

Someone at the BBC liveblog dept. is having fun.

 

[PaulLFC]

That shot was brilliant, to even try that... :lol

Did somebody say perfection?

Lisicki <3

Some great wordplay right there.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Rafa has him right where he wants him......

 

[Niraj]

The wheels are falling off :/

 

[Deku Tree]

2nd set sure doesn't look like a steam roll.

 

[Volimar]

Serena just pulled out of doubles. "Seen stumbling, crying, looked out of it."

Tennis can be friggen rough.

 

[darkwing]

2nd set sure doesn't look like a steam roll.

Nadal will still win it

 

[Niraj]

Dammit. Shitty game by Kyrgios.

 

[SIRF]

YES! Vamos Rafa!

 

[John Dunbar]

kyrgios pulling a rosol here, and not in the good way.

 

[darkwing]

looks like Nadal's plan is working perfectly

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]
