Med dropshot is just bad

Lots of errors from Rafa so far.

 

[Double Bagel]

Rafa needs to pick it up in every aspect of his game or this is going to be a long match.

[brokenshoelace]

Nadal taking too much time in between serves is actually hurting him. He’s having to rush the service motion when the clock ticks down and under tossing the ball.

 

[don_fabio]

agree broken

 

[tented]

I’ve never understood why he doesn’t play faster. If part of his plan is to wear down his opponent, then it seems he should play quickly.

Good point.

Habits die hard.

 

[Double Bagel]

What the hell was that?

 

[brokenshoelace]

Still out of sorts. He said lucky he’s not playing a more offensively potent opponent

 

[brokenshoelace]

Dimitrov would have been a trickier match up

 

[Moxie]

Trade mis-hits.

 

[Double Bagel]

There goes one by Daniil
