The Tennis thread

Very entertaining set so far

Second set to Dimitrov 7-5
Rafa needs to quickly rethink his tactics here or will be blown away

How come Azarenka got criticised for her screeching but when rafa does it we turn a deaf ear.

rafa is also the biggest time waster in the sport.

If people wanna call him a gentlemen of the game they’ve rocks for brains, hes the least sporting player out there.

How come Azarenka got criticised for her screeching but when rafa does it we turn a deaf ear.

Because we like Rafa.

Not enough depth on Rafa ground strokes.

dimitrov serves like a man possessed when facing break Points.

It’s not in the same stratosphere as Sharapova or Azarenka

Timed Rafa for that game.
28 seconds between points.
Ump should be pinging him more

What was with the massive hold up there? It looked a turtle took a dump on the court and it took ages to clean up. Then Grigor forgot what end he should be on
Hard to tell with these kraut commentators.

Think a spectator passed out and they were getting medical help

Rafa wins the tie break
Still making far too many unforced errors on his forehand and Dimitrov playing out of his skin so can see it going the distance

Or that

Dimitrov needs to find a way to change the tempo, slice some approaches, control the net. Trading groundstrokes on a slow court with a fit Nadal is traditionally a recipe for grinding defeat.

That was a good tie breaker

Dimitrov’s serve keeping him in it

And Dimitrov wins the tie break.
Rafa needs a miracle here, Dimitrov playing far better and Rafa making too many mistakes and looks rattled

This match has some awesome hitting.

1HBH FINAL BRING IT

Always go for the non squealer / squawker / grunter.

So fk off Rafa.

C’mon other guy …

fk that shot was like djoko.

Is it an illusion thing, or is Rafa in need of a bit of YEAH hair?
