2018 French Open Men's final: Nadal v Thiem

[backhandslapper]

I'm enjoying it, some nice rallies there, only both guys are very nervous...

 

[Front242]

same as Roger. Both noticeably slower when stretched to the FH side

 

[backhandslapper]

yep, the first couple of steps is not what it used to be

 

[Front242]

I'd probably find it more watchable on tv. Stream is annoying me

 

[kskate2]

but no one really been able to expose it and capitalize on it

 

[Front242]

see what Thiem's made of here serving to stay in the set

 

[Federberg]

ruhroh...

 

[kskate2]

down 0-30

 

[kskate2]

he needs big serves right here

 

[Front242]

my stream is one point behind

 

[kskate2]

sorry

 

[backhandslapper]

well, he may lose this one, let go somewhat, relax, loosen up and stuff may begin to happen

 

[Federberg]

haha! Thiem shouting to his camp about his "shit volleys"

 

[atttomole]

True Front, and Novak is good at exploiting Roger's slower movement to the forehand side.

 

[kskate2]

bad error still about that missed volley

 

[Front242]

yup atttomole

 

[Moxie]

That was sloppy at the wrong moment.

 

[brokenshoelace]

What a gift. Such an anti-climactic end to the set

 

[Federberg]

I thought Rafa's birthday was last Sunday?

 

[kskate2]

oh my. just went off the rails
