Go Raiders & Stan!

1) Nadal Sad

Wawrinka.

I know it's going to be Nadal but I don't care about my points. C'mon Stan! Give it your best shot.

by Tenez Sat Jan 25, 2014 7:16 pm

I thought there was a huge crowd backing up Fed v Nadal in their semi and it felt it was more than trying to have a longer match!

by N2D2L Sat Jan 25, 2014 7:26 pm

Nadal got a louder reception when coming on court according to BBC live text, and I felt that having watched it live.

by summerblues Sat Jan 25, 2014 8:24 pm

Nadal

by Tenez Sat Jan 25, 2014 8:36 pm

STAN BREAKS!!!!

by luvsports! Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:04 am

4-1! ALLEZ beautiful stuff Big Grin

by Tenez Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:05 am

We already know who have the better shots.....it's the better shots over the distance that is the problem.

by luvsports! Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:08 am

WOW!
Nadal grinding for his life and stan beautiful down the line backhand Big Grin

by noleisthebest Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:09 am

You know the game in which Stan broke..just before it started I thought Nadal will gift him first two points just to give him "hope" and then grind him...which is exactly what happened at 15:30, but then Stan managed to get to that BH somehow and put it away.

by Tenez Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:12 am

It's already closer than I thought it would be....Nadal sweating all those litres of transfused blood!

by luvsports! Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:13 am

OMG!
This is phenomenal.

by noleisthebest Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:14 am

Nadal's metabolism working like mad...

by luvsports! Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:15 am

Nadal being made to look very average here.
Stan playing beautifully.
He would dearly love to break here and not have to serve for it Big Grin

Nadal IS average...

by noleisthebest Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:20 am

Best thing Stan has done is avoiding long rallies.

by luvsports! Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:20 am

Trouble here Sad

by luvsports! Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:24 am

ALLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEZZZZZZZZ!!!!!
1ST EVER SET TO STAN!

by Tenez Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:25 am

Woww Stan.....doesn't matter if you lose from now....you are the best!

by summerblues Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:26 am

Good morning. I am waking up to watch this I think...

by noleisthebest Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:28 am

Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on!

Time violation for rafa and 0-40

by luvsports! Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:31 am

BROKEN TO LOVEEEE!!!!

by SayonaRa Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:31 am

Amri, what happened to nadal's mental toughness? How did he managed to waste 4 breakpts?

by summerblues Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:31 am

by summerblues Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:34 am

All that while Stan is serving at 38%

by luvsports! Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:35 am

Insane.

Wow, shame, shame, all doped up and still looking average! Maybe he's over-doped? Laugh

by luvsports! Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:38 am

Here we go. ANother injury.

by summerblues Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:39 am

Keep the rallies short Stan.

by summerblues Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:40 am

Of course, Roger was also a set and an early break up on Rafa in 2013...

by noleisthebest Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:40 am

Nadal clutching his back... Laugh

by summerblues Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:41 am

A bit of gamesmanship from Rafa....

by luvsports! Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:42 am

This is pathetic.
So obvious he is trying to swing back the momentum.

by noleisthebest Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:42 am

Stan is following Ivanisevic's advice with serving today.
Goran said he'd serve both his serves as 1st against Nadal. It's working!

by summerblues Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:42 am

Stan unhappy, I worry this will unsettle him.

by SayonaRa Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:43 am

Stan playing beautifully.

This is the Stan I saw in WTF when nadal stole the win from him by violating the coaching rule. He's playing even better today but not surprising, nadal pulling a fake MTO already to disrupt Stan's moment. What a scum-bag sore-loser!

I just hope this time Stan remains composed no matter how bad nadal's gamesmanship.

by summerblues Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:44 am

Poor Stan..

by gallery play Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:44 am

Couldn't resist to watch.

NAdal taking a tactical time out, Stan is furious the ref won't tell what's going on
Nadal gets the result he wants.

Nadal and his gamesmanship...this is disgusting!

by gallery play Sun Jan 26, 2014 9:45 am

How long is the cheat off court now? This is bad people
