One thing I hate is when Nadal just gets nervous on the most crucial time...especially after playing so well for most of the match. He does not want to go five sets here...
And he gets ultra aggressive when he realized he messed up or lost his serve. He needs to be aggressive all the time!

I was starting a post with "If Nadal gets broken here.." but I could not even post in time. Nadal briefly comes back to his usual self and completely dominates the first three points.
His motto is, "Nice, I got the break which I means I will play passive now"
Then later on, "Shoot, I lost my lead, I have to be aggressive again!"

Got up in time and saw the tiebreaker. Great tribute from both NADAL and McENROE to the late Kobe Bryant.’

Jim COURIER says that the scoreline was identical to that of their Wimbledon 2nd round match.
Has that ever happen before in back to back GS matches ?

Why? Because it’s not so simple, simpleton! Ask Roger why he didn’t just serve ace on match point in the Wimbledon final, like he’s done countless times before...

Roger Federer, who has been retired/dead for millenniums, maintains a cult following who continue to lament surface speeds.
And by the way, the slow courts here don't favor Nadal at all, and this will be evident against Thiem and God forbid, if he makes it to Novak.

Personally I've never bemoaned surface speeds because of Rafa. It would be more relevant as a complaint that it advantages Novak. But the truth is surfaces were slowed because of the power servers. We now live in a world where power servers can be countered with better racquet technology. In light of that it makes no sense to continue to slow surfaces. Let us fans see the full complement of surfaces we used to have. I tire of this dominance across surfaces from the top guys. The era of surface specialisation was more egalitarian to me. To be able to dominate across the surfaces meant more. I'm not certain that all of the top guys would have equal facility in that type of environment. It would have been great to test that thesis
