Huh? The ever annoying Nadal in a non contest.

You like watching that?

#6547

Cmon break that prick.

#6548

Iā€™m a massive Rafa fan boi so yes itā€™s a joy to watch. He has his annoying traits I do admit but he does things on the court that you just think isnā€™t possible. Absolute freak

#6549

Ok. Boring as hell for the rest of us not getting half chubbed though. :wink:

#6550

Fark Rafa and the horse he rode in on.

#6551

Go Djoker is all that is left to sayā€¦

#6552

McEnroe straight up hitting on Rafa.

#6553

Osaka is still ā€œaliveā€ in the tournament and the Williamsā€™ arenā€™t. All is well.

#6554

Itā€™s very nice here.

#6555

We saw N Osaka represent Japan against Switzerland at the 2018 Hopman Cup and Iā€™ll
be honest in saying I thought Osaka could make the top 50, possibly even the top 30 one day. Her success since then has been very unexpected.

#6556

Her ascension to the upper echelon of players has been a pleasure to watch. Would enjoy seeing her take out her second slam.

#6557

Agree with Diggers about Osaka. Though she could reach top 20 if she played a more controlled game. Predicting the future in sport is a tricky business

#6558

Even if just for the post-match on-court interview - sheā€™s hilarious in her honest and simplistic responses.

#6559

Very sweet, humble & with a nice amount of Japanese quirkiness.

#6560

Speaking of Japanese girls, we went to the Issey Miyake store in Maranouchi yesterday and I have to give credit to M Miyake as the girls he had working there were drop dead gorgeous.

#6561

In the form heā€™s in, I expect him to dominate Djokovic.

#6562

Rafaā€™s longest match of the tournament so far was against De Minaur. So De Minaurā€™s performance might be better than it looks.

#6563

I think heā€™ll be favourite to win, but I canā€™t see anyone dominating Djokovic. He wonā€™t be shell shocked like some of Rafaā€™s opponents have been and heā€™ll find a way to get into points

#6564

Another yawn fest tonight.

#6565

The way Djokovic is dominating tonight, I might re-assess! :open_mouth:
