2022 Australian Open Men's Semifinals: Rafael Nadal vs. Matteo Berrettini

[Moxie]

Brad Gilbert says, and I trust him: Berrettini should just bomb the shit out of his FH and his serves. He has to change something up. He also said, (and I agree,) get rid of the backwards hat at night.

Lol! What was that from Nadal?!

 

[Moxie]

I missed it...what?

Just announced the Victorian State Government will increase the attendence to mens and womens' singles final to %80.

Hell it was 65% this morning? did Daniel Andrews have a seizure....I bet he spoke to his bestie Craig Tiley lol!

I missed it...what?

A running DTL FH from Nadal after Matteo hit an amazing low CC BH slice...

 

[Vince Evert]

Matt hold serve NOW !!!

 

[Moxie]

So many don't appreciate how much you take out of the FH by crushing on the BH.

 

[rafanoy1992]

See Matteo! That wide serve is good!

 

[Moxie]

what did I say?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Would [people stop urging Matteo on I want Rafa to win in straight sets

 

[Moxie]

Well played point from Rafa, but he missed it.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Now, that was a nice BH slice DTL from Matteo!

 

[tented]

Hmm … really thought Rafa would break there.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Matteo holds! Here comes the comeback, guys!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hmm … really thought Rafa would break there.

Yeah me too.

 

[Vince Evert]

Good hold... maybe now Matt get a look in on Nadal service game.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Matteo holds! Here comes the comeback, guys!

Would you please stop that.

 

[tented]

Does anyone think Rafa should stand right on the baseline for 2nd serve returns?

 

[rafanoy1992]

Would you please stop that.

I would rather say those things than say Nadal has this match easily now.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Does anyone think Rafa should stand right on the baseline for 2nd serve returns?

I do! Unfortunately, Nadal doesn't believe in that strategy, Tented.
