Ahem....

 

[Vince Evert]

Long game and a set point saved. Tiebreaker now.

Just tuned into the Nadal/Berd match. Has Berd been horrible or Nadal just too good?

Not to solve your assessment owed later, but Nadal has been too good, up until this game, when he backed off a bit to the old patterns and let Berdy back in a bit

 

[Vince Evert]

Ahem....

You see Moxie, why i call Thomas "birdbrain" ? He had 0-30 lead and commits two unforced errors and later a set point. Nadal has been off the boil throughout the set. Thomas has snatched defeat from the jaws of winning the set.

Putting too much on Tomas, and too little on Nadal, imho.

 

[Vince Evert]

i still feel thomas will sneak out the set in the tiebreak mainly because nadal has gone slightly off.

 

[Vince Evert]

Well there u go, Thomas trys to hit a dumb drop shot when leading 4-3.

 

[Vince Evert]

what's Thomas blowing his stak about ?

 

[Vince Evert]

Nadal wins. Good riddance.

 

[Moxie]

Serve clock broke, and Tomas got testy. Didn't help him in the end. Rafa through.

 

[Vince Evert]

Mox must be thrilled. You may go to bed now but don't forget to set your blu-ray recorder to tape Fed's match which promises to be a GEM !

Mox IS thrilled! Thanks for watching with me, Vince.

That's why he's a birdbrain. Of all things to get crack a fruity about.

 

[britbox]

Rafa looks a lock for the semis. I can't see Tiafoe troubling him.

He's probably more pissed at himself for that lame dropshot attempt in the tiebreak.

Excellent expression. But it is a thing about relying on technology.

 

[DarthFed]

He was mostly pissed that Nadal stopped him in his service motion because he wasn't ready. A legit complaint.

 

[Vince Evert]

TBH i have not seen much of Tiafoe apart from the hopman cup and when he was cheering on Serena Williams at the US Open final last year. So he's a promising american player on the rise , AYE ?
