2018 US Open Men's Quarterfinals: Nadal vs. Thiem

[atttomole]

Thiem is in the zone so far.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Domi totally got Rafa out of his comfort zone right now but let's see what he is doing is sustainable.

 

[atttomole]

Thiem is hitting the ball as if he is 6 foot 6 tall.

 

[atttomole]

The height of the ball is getting ridiculous.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Now time to feed Bagel to Ralph.

Where is Mox?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

The height of the ball is getting ridiculous.

That is why it is called moonballing. Wozniacki and Ralph are experts in that.

Nad about to receive a bagel in the first set?
That would be the upset of the century (regardless of the final result)! Not Fed loss yesterday

 

[kskate2]

A bakery product for Nads.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

This is unbelievable.

Hope, he keeps it up though. Two more bagels would be a nice dinner for Ralph.

Yes!!! Century in the making.

No way, that would be upset of century. Come on, cool down.

 

[atttomole]

Rafa gets a plain bagel.

 

[nehmeth]

Not to be outdone by Roger... Ralph decides a bagel by Thiem equals a trouncing from Millman.

 

[britbox]

I thought Nadal would win this blindfold.

 

[kskate2]

Haha. I think Nads prefers glazed donuts instead of poppy seed bagel.

 

[Moxie]

Now time to feed Bagel to Ralph.

Where is Mox?

Just getting back from work. That was uncommon from Nadal. I'd like to point that set out for those who say that Rafa always leaps around like an energizer bunny. He was really not going for everything in that set.

 

[Moxie]

I thought Nadal would win this blindfold.

TBH, I did to. He seems off to me. Though I agree that Thiem seems to have a game plan and is mostly executing.

 

[kskate2]

It's a 5K Shankathon.

 

[atttomole]

Thiem stands way behind the baseline when returning serve, like Nadal.

It wasn't pretty from Fed. But I do not think we can call it a trouncing.
