Yeah there is no way Anderson could beat Verdasco, Seppi, and a no-name on a medium hard court. Run of the century there. And didn't Querrey win a hard court event this year beating Goffin, Thiem, Kyrgios and Nadal. So I guess your point is he'd have no prayer vs. Tsonga on a hard court...mega upset clearly.

You watching Nadal and Muller right now? Won't you agree Muller gets spanked by Nadal on medium hards?

Nadal playing like crap. Way too nervous. Not reading Muller's first serve at all, and returning the second serve like it's a first serve. Awful decision making on key points too.

Of course, it doesn't help that this medium hard courts is playing like a grass court.

Rafa is in huge trouble, about to go down 2 sets to love.
Muller serving for the second set.

Andy is the first to make the quarters.

I'm surprised Nadal is so nervous. What's there to be uneasy about? Hold your serve and be aggressive. You will eventually put pressure on a big server.

It's a familiar story for Nadal at Wimbledon. Unlike in other majors, when faced with a hot opponent, he just becomes way too tight and unable to navigate through the situation. The shot selection is baffling.
