LOL, here comes A. Castle with the Novak loved question Laugh

I kid you not, they are paid to spout this shit.

Sorry guys, Nole and I couldn't care less for your lousy "love" Cool

Yup. Nadal was trying to bulldozer Federer who in turn was bulldozering back!

Leave Nole alone, it's not his fault he was playing a limited counterpuncher. After all it was he that pulled the trigger in the end.

yeah just took him 45 shots to get there.

by legendkillar Fri Jul 12, 2019 6:36 pm

Cor Nadal needed that hold. Set far from over.

by barrystar Fri Jul 12, 2019 6:37 pm

Is Castle a Nadal fan, or am I just biased?

No you're right. He's desperate to declare Nadal the GOAT - I remember him saying 'he's probably the greatest ever' way back in 2013/4

by noleisthebest Fri Jul 12, 2019 6:41 pm

Whoa, good old Rog can hit a decent high BH volley Winking

No it was boring as hell until the last shot.

Safe backhand to safe backhand, was that Novak Agut 45-shot rally.

by luvsports! Fri Jul 12, 2019 6:44 pm

MASSIVE GAME HERE. COME ON FEDS. 4 ACES PLEASE

I'd agree if all their rallies were like that, but it was just that one, and I loved it.

by legendkillar Fri Jul 12, 2019 6:46 pm

Federer doing to Nadal what Nadal has done to many others in that point.

by legendkillar Fri Jul 12, 2019 6:47 pm

You wouldn't have foreseen that after the car-wreck end to the 2nd set.

by noleisthebest Fri Jul 12, 2019 6:47 pm

Fed wrongfooting and bamboozling Nadal...he can't do that with Nole.

by barrystar Fri Jul 12, 2019 6:48 pm

OMG - this is not what I expected. My goodness we are still in a match though. The first break of serve is crucial.

Djokovic actually came up against a form of competition. Take nothing away from RBA he made Djokovic play better than he's had to face through the tournament.

RBA didn't mentally wilt like Goffin did.

by Jahu Fri Jul 12, 2019 6:49 pm

4th set 6;2 for Fed.

I think his weight of shot was very important too - took time away from Djoko for a while

by Emancipator Fri Jul 12, 2019 6:50 pm

fed needs to keep the intensity up and get an early break

by legendkillar Fri Jul 12, 2019 6:52 pm

I am sensing Nadal will visit the Advanced Hair Studio at some point in the future.

That he did. Was no coincidence that Djokovic couldn't hit through him from the baseline and lost that second set based on that very tactic.

What shafted RBA in the end was his length which Djokovic then dined out on.

It is a bit strange, why you did watch it till the end when it was that boring Big Grin

At the change of ends he remined me of Ernie McCraken out of the film Kingpin!

If he has done it though, I'd ask for a refund.

by Emancipator Fri Jul 12, 2019 6:56 pm

Rafa's return has gone AWOL.

I have to say both look pretty slow out there, especially Fed.

by legendkillar Fri Jul 12, 2019 6:58 pm

How Nadal would love a hold to love right now.

by legendkillar Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:03 pm

The BH return that had eluded him in that second set gets the break in the 4th.

by Emancipator Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:03 pm

Yes. Now keep it together.

by legendkillar Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:07 pm

Massive hold for Nadal coming up. Essentially the match if he loses it.

by noleisthebest Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:07 pm

Strange to see Nadal dispirited.

by Jahu Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:13 pm

Just keep serve Mr.Rog.

by Jahu Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:14 pm

Come onnn fuck rallying, just slice, dice, dropshot, left right etc etc

by Jahu Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:15 pm

Nadals FH getting tired.

Give us some acesss

by Jahu Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:15 pm

Thats it, keep it up. go go go

Break Nadal again now

by Emancipator Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:16 pm

Nadal has been very poor so far today

by Emancipator Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:16 pm

Of course he's playing a proper opponent today.

by Jahu Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:18 pm

what a run, what a shot

by Jahu Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:21 pm

Just ace the madafakaaa

by legendkillar Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:21 pm

Everything Roger touches turns to gold.

by legendkillar Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:22 pm

Federer one service game away from the final. It's still nerve wracking!

by Emancipator Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:23 pm

Come break him and finish it.

If his fiancee likes it, then no problem for him and on top of that he saves some money.

by legendkillar Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:25 pm

For whatever reason today, Nadal has seemed unsettled and rattled. As if nothing has worked for him. Can't recall a time I've seen him visibly annoyed with himself.

by Jahu Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:26 pm

Nadal S&V ffs

by legendkillar Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:27 pm

What a plonker.
