LOL that was a putrid set all around... Both players taking turns trolling each other out with who can make the worse plays in key moments.

Those two missed forehands pretty much sum up Nadal's career success against the top players. If anyone is new to tennis, that is pretty much all you need to see to understand why he has the H2H he does against the other top players.

Seriously someone tell me what's wrong with Nadal? WTA serves, Head scratching Unforced Forehand errors and not being aggressive at all. Is it just a loss of form or a physical condition? Is this the same guy that played against Monfils.

Not really. He wins like that all the time. Why was it lucky this time?

When he does it in Grand Slam finals, people call him amazing. But because this is a quarterfinal against Dimitrov, it's lucky?

I don't get that.
