Re: Wimbledon Day 7 (Second Monday)

He's won it and that's what counts.

What the hell is wrong with those stupid spectators on court 1? They don't have the curtousy to applaud majestic volleys by Giles.

by Daniel Mon Jul 10, 2017 5:56 pm

Why don't players just do an underhand or short serve against Nadal? He's as far back as he can be - he'd never reach it on grass. Why don't they do it? There is no rule against it - it's legitimate!

by Daniel Mon Jul 10, 2017 5:57 pm

Plus it would make him think more. he wouldn't feel comfortable.

by gallery play Mon Jul 10, 2017 5:58 pm

In this case: the crowd would boo him off court

by Daniel Mon Jul 10, 2017 5:59 pm

I don't give a shit. It's a perfectly lawful shot - and that's a price you pay for standing that far back. The crowd dont want him to win anyway.

To put it mildly.
The whole fanclub is present

by Daniel Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:01 pm

Well, Muller, that's what you get for not doing an underarm.

by gallery play Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:03 pm

Muller goes down. Unfortunatly.
Back to CC

by Emancipator Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:03 pm

lol, 6 DFs from Dimi.

Sadly, as I found out with John Higgins in snooker, no matter what he does he will have a huge fanbase.

Does he fear Fed's return?

by Emancipator Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:05 pm

Federer breaks; that should be the second set.

Pretty low standard so far. Dimitrov has been awful. Federer barely in 2nd gear.

by Daniel Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:07 pm

The real test for Fed is next if he makes it.... I hope it's zverev based on the match up of the other day. But it will be tough.

He should be alright against Zverev. Just keep the ball low.

Meanwhile, Dimi in selfdestruct mode

He's just not been at the races today. Missing routine rallying balls too.

by gallery play Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:13 pm

Fed's so quick on serve
I've seen Federer averaging 13 secs between the points last week...

Who says we need to change the rules to speed up the game?

by Emancipator Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:14 pm

Fed takes second set 6-2. Routine stuff. Still not timing the ball that well from what I've seen. Maybe it's the court.

by Daniel Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:15 pm

We just need to enforce the rules. Nadal has been going over on a few games.

by Daniel Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:18 pm

They do like to keep saying Nadal is one of the best volleyers in the world... even when all the evidence including this match proves he isn't.

by gallery play Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:18 pm

What's a useless shot against Fed? Hitting as hard as you can right at him while he's at the net.
It was his effortlessly handling of balls like these what convinced me 17 years ago the guy's special.

by Daniel Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:21 pm

I get that a lot in doubles matches. One twat aimed at my head and he really powered it. He lost the point and he wasn't happy lol. As if that's a good tactic.

by gallery play Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:22 pm

It's a Ivan Lendl special

by gallery play Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:25 pm

Federer plays better than last week

by Daniel Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:26 pm

I think Fed also respects his opponent can turn it on. He's making sure of it.

I have been on C1 and CC when Nadal was playing 100% or so of the women are behind him. The opponent usually shares about 50% of the mens crowd.

by Daniel Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:29 pm

Muller went wrong way with that one.

That's because too many women are shallow.

I don;t see much difference. He simply does a bit more cause he has to do a bit more.

be careful....Vee might get us started again!

That punchy BH (short swing, short followthrough ) is back. Crucial shot in order to win the whole thing

I think his shots are better. Hits more freely

by Tenez Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:41 pm

Any idea how Nadal Muller is going go end? I have a feeling Nadal will get nervous again now that he has everything to lose.

by gallery play Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:45 pm

Crowd goes bezerk after break by Dimi..
Those rafa fans are like a plaque

by Tenez Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:47 pm

Amazing court coverage there by fed to give him another 2 BPs.

I guess not. He's been there so many times

by gallery play Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:51 pm

And there's the 596990593 slam quarter for Fed.
Well done. Not much wrong with his performance today

No...impressive how he can turn it on at will and break Dimi when needed.

by Tenez Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:56 pm

Right ...so Nadal to serve to stay in the match.

Let's see how his nerves are.

by gallery play Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:58 pm

well that was a nervy FH...

by gallery play Mon Jul 10, 2017 6:58 pm

wow, 2 more point. Please Giles do it!

by gallery play Mon Jul 10, 2017 7:00 pm

DF!!!!

by gallery play Mon Jul 10, 2017 7:00 pm

2 mp's!

by gallery play Mon Jul 10, 2017 7:01 pm

Damn! He went for it too much
deuce

by gallery play Mon Jul 10, 2017 7:02 pm

Well, there you go T. 2 aces when he needed it most
His nerves are ok

by Tenez Mon Jul 10, 2017 7:03 pm

so sad!

by Emancipator Mon Jul 10, 2017 7:03 pm

well and a DF....he looked very nervous to me.

by gallery play Mon Jul 10, 2017 7:05 pm

Gilles holds comfortably but you get the feeling those missed mp's will cost him

by Emancipator Mon Jul 10, 2017 7:05 pm

What a service game from Muller. Perfection!
