2018 US Open Men's Semifinals: Nadal vs. Del Potro

[atttomole]

uh oh. Commentators talking about Rafa being physically impaired right on queue

Then he should leave the court. He has got only one way of playing and that is how he wins. As long as he can run, he wins, otherwise he can't play at all. There is no middle ground for him.

 

[Federberg]

got to go with Rafa on that one. There was definitely a call. But he seemed to say "it's ok, I'm going to retire anyway"

 

[Denis]

oh come on guys, I don’t believe he’s faking it. Getting older and after playing those fivesetters? You think he is doing it to stop the momentum?

 

[Fiero425]

He's already giving it to Del Po! Never heard a player say that to an umpire that he's about ready to "retire!" o_O

 

[Federberg]

Come on guys, I hate the bastard more than anyone but I can admit he isn't right physically at the moment. But I'm not feeling sorry for him, he reaped what he sowed here. Dude's run a marathon 3 times this tournament already just waiting for opponents to donate just enough errors to win.

dude.... what the fuck is going on with you today??

 

[Front242]

Still never defended a title off clay. Good man. Take that to your grave.

 

[Federberg]

it wouldn't be the first time

Cry me a river! The way he runs players to death; I got nothin' for him! He's normally merciless so as was said, "you reap what you sew!"

Bro, did you hear the exchange he had with the chair ump? He said he's going to retire

 

[kskate2]

Go Delpo! Go Delpo! Win this thing and put your doubters on notice.

 

[Federberg]

Bro, did you hear the exchange he had with the chair ump? He said he's going to retire

yes I mentioned it. But what does it matter? As britbox said the other day, Roger was sweating like a rapist. I didn't have any sympathy for him, so I sure as fuck am not going to have any for Rafa. That would be perverse

I just came in. I heard it. I think he's waiting for the end of the set

From the sport hopefully. Full time fisherman.

Lol you know I have no mercy for this bastard but I don't think he's faking injury here is all. Given the matches he's played this tournament he should be feeling it in his knees!

 

[Federberg]

I just came in. I heard it. I think he's waiting for the end of the set

I for one wouldn't hold it against him if he just quit now

 

[DarthFed]

I just came in. I heard it. I think he's waiting for the end of the set

Yeah that'd be my guess. As long as Del Po doesn't have the gag of all gags I think he is done after this set

 

[Mastoor]

How can you run this quickly if you are injured. Do I really need to spell it out what is wrong with Rafa?

 

[Federberg]

Lol you know I have no mercy for this bastard but I don't think he's faking injury here is all. Given the matches he's played this tournament he should be feeling it in his knees!

he's come back from the grave too many times for me to give him a pass. I'm too scarred

 

[Front242]

Yeah that'd be my guess. As long as Del Po doesn't have the gag of all gags I think he is done after this set

That's the thing see...I GUARANTEE you if Del Potro somehow managed to lose this set there's no chance he'd retire.

 

[Federberg]

How can you run this quickly if you are injured. Do I really need to spell it out what is wrong with Rafa?

I'm with you brother. If he can wait until this set is over to retire then it doesn't seem serious enough to quit
