God she is slow as shit, I guess it gets tough to move with T&A that large as you age.

The thing about Nadal is that when he does not have a rhythm on his return game, then he gets nervous and plays passively. On grass, that is magnified more and it is part of the reason he lost against Muller in 2017. Once Muller was able to have an amazing serving rhythm in the 5th set, Nadal was not able to win that match.

Will Nadal able to read Kyrgios' serve on crucial moments? That's the question...

So Nicky did try to take off Nads head like ya'll suggested. Earns a DF out of it :)

Dumb decision from Nicky, now he's going to fold mentally. I like that he almost took out Nads though. He had nowhere else to hit it.

Nick doesn't do well with the crowd against him.

Nads is not sharp. He just hit 2 passing shots right back to Nicky instead of going in the opposite direction.

I am not referring to that. I am referring to the ugly, stupid misses when he has an opening. A lot of them today.

Ah, I see. The inconsistency drives me nuts too. I guess it's part of the show.

No. That's part of the reason Kyrgios does win matches. His serve is incredibly difficult to read. Same toss no matter what. Just like Fed.

Nads looked very out of it the first half of this set. Nicky and his weak return game couldn't take advantage.
