2022 Wimbledon QF: Fritz vs. Nadal

[tented]

Who wins?

 

[don_fabio]

Nadal in 4 sets.

 

[Moxie]

Since Nadal has dropped a set in almost every match so far, and nearly dropped the 3rd here today, I will give Fritz a set.

 

[tented]

Nadal in 4, but I could also see this going 5 if Fritz is serving extremely well.

I think Rafa will play special attention to Fritz's serve and try to break down his BH..I have to admit I haven't paid much attention to Fritz's groundstrokes but I know his team has a great scouting report on him

 

[Jelenafan]

Taylor moves relatively well for a taller guy, great serve & FH combo, but not gonna lie , the problem for him is that Rafa is going to be pumped to show that Indian Wells loss was NOT indicative of their levels.

Rafa in 3 sets.

Rafa in 3 sets.

They were both slightly impaired in terms of fitness at Indian Wells so it actually wasn't indicative of either of their levels.

Is Paul Annacone still on Fritz's coaching team?

Rafa was playing with a fractured rib hey?

Rafa was playing with a fractured rib hey?

And Fritz was playing with an injured ankle so I'd call that a draw in terms of injury.

I remember there were rumors before the match he was going to pull out of the match due to his ankle, though he did test it out and decided to play the final.

I can´t understand why both matches are playing almost at the same time, it´s soooo silly!

The ladies q/finals are also being played at the same time as well.......Brain Fail from the All England Club

Yep. Yesterday’s scheduling was better for everyone.

They're doing that out of some need for fair play. They don't want any player on this side of the draw to have an advantage of more rest because their match was played later in the day. And the women are playing first because they have to come back and play SF tomorrow.

im not certain

Yesterday's scheduling was the same. There was 2 QF's played simultaneously.

 

[kskate2]

No, yesterday the men began first on Center and the women began first on Court 1.

I have been campaigning to have him on the Rafa's team.. Paul likes Rafa's game and always have great things to say about it.
