Wimbledon Day 11, Friday 12th July

match over

Wake the fuck up Agut, ffs

This match gone. If Fed goes quickly to Final, he can beat this shit Djoko.

Commentators' and pundits' "Nole doesn't get the love" is wearing thin....that's how see-through it's become...

He got really angry at the crowd for the lack of support.

Because there’s nothing to love. Boring neediness is not attractive.

Scruffy drawing to close of a scruffy match. This Djoko would be more vulnerable than usual to Fedal - just looked and the last time Nadal beat him away from clay was 2013 USO, Fed beat him twice at the end of 2015 Cincinnati and WTF in the RR.

...and people say Raonic and Cilic (insert random big hitter) play boring?? At least they pull the trigger any second they can.

This match was bs.

I think we will see a great match now

Congrats to Novak

it is amazing his run since wimbledon 2018

Hope Nadal or Federer can stop him, but he is like a wall

Can anyone tell me what these guys have in common, Mardy Fish, Nicholas Kiefer, and Raphael Nadal?

The court is slow but the ball is barely bouncing. A few times both Djokovic and Agut nearly lost balanced as the bounce was so low.

Who is liable to be more discombobulated by that between Federer and Nadal?

Slow court suits Nadal, low bounce suits Federer.

The only love Nole needs is from me, and he's got it. The rest of you can just be jealous.

Rafa in 4, maybe 5.

Bump - come on, what is it?

Clue please

OK - Nadal is on that list by virtue of the thing that links them having happened twice, and it is Wimbledon related.

It really is unreal (doesn't that sound funny?) to have a Federer-Nadal match today after all this time.

Hang n, I've got a poem here....

Who of the two is Real and who Unreal?

Come on, give me some answers, this match-up deserves a poem!

Funny, I thought of the exact same clue (honest!) except I have no idea what they've all done twice.

Ok, let me give it a try: played Fed and lost?

More specific please - loads of guys have played Fed and lost at Wimbledon - it's happened 100 times after all.

FFS Castle is back.

fed in 3

Let’s go.

Becker is bursting with it - Fed in 3 or Nadal in 4 my hairy arse.

Interesting that the huge preponderance of those in the 'know' that Henman has talked to think Nadal will win.  He could have spoken to me, I'd have told him.

Castle and Henman have both made suggestions that Fedal have improved since 2008 - Tenez....!

I did not like that second point - I thought Fed made the wrong decision with his response to Nadal's return and Nadal showed how he's going to win rallies as the match develops.

Good thing I bet on Rafa this time (but odds were 50-50) 

God how slow was that S&V. Fed got to the net before ball even reached Nadal!

God Rafa plays so slowly.

Ok Fed-Nadal.

I don't wanna hear any Djoko shit till this match is over.

Unless someone wants to end their life 

Go FEDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Surely Castle asked about 'Goats' for the benefit of the casual TV audience...?

Seems Rafa has been the better server so far this Wimbledon, and seems to continue to the SF...

It was said in a way I likened to a speed date that was losing momentum. Ask something for the sake of small talk.

IF Federer resorts to a lot of slices he's gonna get murdered.

Fed's returning looking pretty mediocre.

yep, p[retty lame so far

and if he keeps missing returns on second serves...

Just let the First Server work at 90%, we're good.

Hoping to see Federer make more inroads on the return game.

Yeah and watch that BH CC from Nadal a bit more.

Federer has completely lost his movement to the FH side. How come the commys never mention any of that. Oh of course they just get better and better.

Amazes me after all these years Rafa hasn't found a pair of shorts that don't ride up his arse with every step.

Nadal's average first serve has been faster than Fed's this year. Significantly faster.

He has money to have his shorts and thongs be custom made surely, but he loves to scratch his butt.

That was impressive serving by Nadal. 3 of out of the 4 in the 120's!

Emancipator wrote:Nadal's average first serve has been faster than Fed's this year. Significantly faster.

Emanci it is 1kmh faster, not significant.

I always think that winning % on 2nd serve is a very important stat.  If it's high it takes so much pressure of the 1st serve and give the server so much more confidence.  

That's been a number of rallies now which Nadal has won by just banging in a super fast forehand.

Nadal seems to me to have more in reserve which will start to make the difference as the match goes on.

188/187kmh for Nadal.

Mrs LK would put such an act down to not wiping properly. Which is a whole other discussion all together.

hahahahaha ffs

OH OK I thought it was bigger than that.
