2019 Australian Open, Melbourne - ATP GRAND SLAM

The longer the match is the more we get to see Nadal’s beautiful biceps :heart:

Or the Duckman's.

Haha. This is reminding me of pretty in pink....

Roger has 4 children. I don't take Isner for an early retirer. He can play a long time with that serve, and feed that kid.

Roger is an enigma. You really can't compare anyone to him.

 

[atttomole]

Nadal lets things get tricky.

Duckworth is a clown. He is not going to do anything.

He's not an enigma. He has a bazillion dollars and a huge support system. But let's not pretend that male tennis players can't keep playing with a kid at home, or whatever. Isner is the bread winner and this is his best shot at bread-winning. He doesn't care if his ranking slides, if he's still making good money. And he's not first in line for a commentary job when he retires. I think he's got a few more years in him, for sure.

And here we go.......”Duck is a clown”, and what you expected, that he went to win? like I said before I don’t think Istomin will do better, another “clown”

Every time someone loses to Nadal they're a clown. Unbelievable.

I have also said Anderson is a clown and he beat Federer.

And the Millman is a clown too.

A boatload of $$ or not, no one else is traveling on the tour w/ 4 munchkins and a wife (nor would they want to).

I'm pretty sure that neither is a "clown." Let's face it, you're just mad that Rafa won. I don't know how anyone who is a top 100 player in the ATP is a clown. Even when they act like one, like Kyrgios.

@atttomole

Yeah the dude couldn't rally at all but his tactics were perfect even though execution of such first-strike tennis fails most times but as the inferior player this was his best shot

Right, but you do admit that most male players have it as a job, and they have the benefit of a wife at home with the "munchkin." I don't think Isner is giving up the biggest payday job he's likely ever going to have, just when he actually does have a kid. And he started late.

We'll see. Like I said, just a feeling I'm getting from him.

Well, we'll see how you and your witchy feeling do on that. Personally, I think it would be impractical of him.

 

[Moxie]

And he lost it to Tipsy

Oh, this is where I got confused. I thought you said he lost the match to Tipsy. No, just the first set. OK. Won in 4.

 

[Moxie]

Tsitsipas through in 4.

How could I be mad. I expected Nadal to win the match.

True. His serve looked good but he lacked the technique. He did well to avoid long points but he was simply inferior. A slightly better player could have made that match interesting, considering that he broke Nadal twice.

 

[AnonymousFan]

Come on Isner I want to see five tiebreaks

#237 breaking Rafa when Rafa was serving for the match and that too at love is priceless.
