2019 Australian Open, Melbourne - ATP GRAND SLAM

Uh, oh...Tiafoe seems gassed and in trouble. Has seen the doctor. He's about to lose the 3rd in TB, but if it's about fitness, Grigor suddenly has a big advantage.

Well. So much for my Berdych may be rejuvenated and can push Nadal theory. Nadal continues his mastery of him. Berdych has never been able to hang with Nadal. Which, rechecking their h2h. Nadal won their first match on clay in 2005. Berdych won the next 3. Then Nadal didn't lost to him for 8+ years until the 2015 AO QF. Nadal won their next match. They haven't played since 2015. 19-4 Nadal. That's ridiculous. That's like Fed v Roddick numbers.

Agassi is AMPED at Dimitrov's dominating tiebreak. Lol. Good to see him. Fed has probably over taken him. But Agassi was my first all time favorite. Fed still has some serious competition from him. I was young when I became a fan. So no matter how much he won or didn't win, he'll always have a special place on my list.

Bad match up for Berdy, for sure. It looks like everyone else quit watching.

That TUE cunt looks back at a strong level. I fear nothing more than Ralph's after an "injury break" or small operation.

NINE straight games. The FIRST 9 games. He cannot win a game. This is not okay. Like. Berdych is not this bad. Nadal is not this good. Like. Nadal is amazing. All time great. In the GOAT conversation. Has beaten Berdych 17 times in a row at one point. But Berdych is not so bad that Nadal should be able to win 9 straight games against him. That's ludicrous. But of course, clearly that's precisely what he's done. So it has been that bad from Berdych and that good from Nadal.

 

[Moxie]

They're not showing Nadal v Berdych, understandably, but Rafa up 3-0 in the 2nd. Tomas has yet to win a game.

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Tiafoe/Dimitrov has at least been fantastic. Dimitrov challenging much more now. But Tiafoe not completely going away. On serve in the fourth. 1-1.

No amount of countering this crap from you makes you stop. Your arguments have always been proved weak, and yet you persist. It's a pathetic statement from you that you have to push it, just because Rafa has always had the bead on your guy, and now you fear he'll best him in the end.

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Berdych gets a game. My goodness. Went up 40-love and still lost the next 2 points.

Would you like to take back your claim that Berdych has better chances than D-minor?

Nah, I'm old enough to remember a time when Nadal pulled out of AO due to a tummy problem preventing him from getting enough preparation. It was later released by some honorable Russians that he had therapeutic use exemptions in 2009 and 2012, immediately preceding his best years. Fast forward to 6 years later and he suddenly has no problem playing Oz without preparation. I'm sure he had a great offseason.

Nah, no one without any weapon is the slightest threat to Nadal.

Wow, your own irony is lost on you. Geriatric Fed takes a break and wins Oz with no prep, and you say, "Nothing to see here." You are divorced from reality. And I really hate you at this moment for once again betraying honorable and considered conversations that we've had about doping and TUEs. You continually ignore what has been said, and then just keep spewing your crap again, because you hope it will stick. It's not just childish, it's bordering on deluded. In general, you are a fun poster. On this issue, you are a complete troll. I mean that earnestly. Notice that you're not even commenting on the matches...just dropping in to troll Nadal and doping. I bet you'd have thought you were above that.

Nadal leads two sets to love , conceding just one game. Thomas the birdbrain Berdych quite frankly at this level, does not even deserve a spot in the third round. People are paying big $$$ to see such a insipid effort.

Well, they get to watch a clinic from Nadal. Personally, I've never been a fan of Berdych, and this match-up has always been one-sided. Not quite sure what your complaint is.

Mox, it's not good for tennis. I'm not a fan of either player, but Thomas is a better player than this and wins over Nadal, Federer , Djokovic despite his topsy turvy tennis.

But are you saying you don't think he's putting in effort? He's a bad MU with Nadal.

So what's wrong with just ignoring this stuff ? I reckon he's firing and winding you up.

Yeah he's trying. But , as has often been the case with thomas berdych, the lights are on but there's nobody home. Other players would have put in a more competitive effort than this.
