2014 Aussie Open Final: Nadal vs. Wawrinka

[zalvar]

cant move, cant hit groundies, cant serve

 

[nehmeth]

still not moving

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Well Front, I think the idea would be that maybe Stan was doing so well in the first set because Rafa was injured already.

 

[Johnsteinbeck]

i agree tented, but if he has to keep up the old man serves, he better retire

 

[Front242]

never k ow how soon his anti inflammatories/painkillers will kick in

 

[Federberg]

I wouldnt have begrudged Rafa retiring at the end of this set

 

[kskate2]

2 SPs and Stan goes up 2 sets

 

[tenisplayrla08]

He was able to move better and get to the balls. But he wasnt able to do everything with the shots he wanted to.

 

[Front242]

should be noted Fed played much of 2013 like this

 

[tenisplayrla08]

I mean it certainly didnt take him too long for all of this to come out in the second set.

 

[tented]

Well, its essentially all over. Im happy for Stan. He will have deserved this win.

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Maybe he was just fighting it more in the first set. After losing it, he figured he could showed that his hampered.

 

[Federberg]

lets not start doing Fedal comparisons Front.. Im not even to speak his name in the same sentence as rafa right now

 

[Front242]

he looked fine in the first set

 

[Front242]

there was one oint where he bent over and grimaced

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Or hes just acting. Creating an excuse and the world doesnt think he really didnt have an answer for Stan.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

more trainer drama...............

 

[Moxie]

He was fine…just out-played. You could see the point when he tweaked the back.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Congrats, Stan the Man! He played well in the first set and outplayed Nadal

 

[Front242]

possible too yeah
