2019 US Open QF: Nadal vs. Schwartzman

[rafanoy1992]

Nadal is starting to be a little bit passive and Diego is starting to get his range...0-30 now...

That Nadal forehand miss at 15-30 in the 4-0 game might have rattled Nadal just a little bit...

Now, we are back on serve unfortunately...

 

[Double Bagel]

Yep and I can actually get some much needed sleep

Sleep is overrated anyway.

 

[Moxie]

Rafa doing just what he wasn't supposed to do and letting Schwartzman back in. Bollocks.

It’s not just about being passive. There is the opponent as well.

 

[rafanoy1992]

In a way, Nadal right now is the 2018 Nadal in which he plays well for the start of the set but for some reason he loses focuses and let the opponents back in towards at the end of the set.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Honestly Rafa get it together....you were up 2 breaks...Help Me

Schwartzman takes the ball early when he can, which Rafa hates. He has to take a new attitude.

 

[Double Bagel]

In the beginning Rafa was dictating the play and now Schwartzman is dictating it.

 

[rafanoy1992]

It is 4-4 all now...yeap, Nadal has started to go back on the return of serves.

 

[atttomole]

Brad Gilbert is speechless.

 

[Moxie]

Aggression. That was a good idea. Duh.

 

[Moxie]

FH missing. That sucked.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Wow...he hit that easy forehand back to Diego and he lost the point. Yep, he is rattled...

 

[Moxie]

Argentina in the house. Also a problem.

 

[kskate2]

The small collection of Argies are quite loud.

 

[Double Bagel]

What a lob.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rafa has to shut the crowd out he is no junior player

 

[Moxie]

Look, Rafa will find his way back. He got lulled early, and Schwartzman is throwing all he has at it, but this won't last, trust me.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Nadal got lucky there...Diego missed an EASY forehand to set up a break point.

 

[rafanoy1992]

I agree, Moxie! I am just hoping it does not go more than 3 hours in this humidity.
