2022 Wimbledon QF: Fritz vs. Nadal

[the AntiPusher]

Taylor's shot making has been very lucky so far. My thoughts pre match is that Rafa would be able to break down Taylor's BH

Fritz is breaking down his own shot making! The longer he has to think about it, the worse the error; esp. on sitter forehands! Fr.5-4 in the 5th!

Rafa to serve at 4-5 to stay in the match.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rafa to serve at 4-5 to stay in the match.

Why didnt Rafa taken a bathroom break earlier and looked himself in the mirror and say "I can do this"

 

[tented]

Serving to stay in again. Will he get broken or does it go to a tiebreak?

 

[tented]

Nadal up 4-0.

Fritz is fritzed.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Nadal up 4-0.

Fritz is fritzed.

Remember the time as a Rafa fan we hated him going to a t/break, how times have changed no? lol!

 

[don_fabio]

Nadal up 4-0.

Fritz is fritzed.

Taliored himself a loss.

 

[Fiero425]

Nadal up 4-0.

Fritz is fritzed.

In my day way back when, the commentary from me would be "he don't want it!" This will haunt him for a while!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Forgot the t/break is to 10 points....hmmm....never like like a b/reak anyway

 

[Moxie]

He can still hit that FH winner.

 

[tented]

I cannot believe this. Incredible.

 

[Moxie]

Man, once again, like yesterday, the greats just keep rolling. Fritz is indeed going to rue this. He played a mostly terrible TB.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I cannot believe this. Incredible.

That is Rafa for you....I have come to expect that from him over the years

 

[Moxie]

I cannot believe this. Incredible.

As they say, do not count Rafael Nadal out. He really fought for this one.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

As they say, do not count Rafael Nadal out. He really fought for this one.

That is his 'swan song' Never Count Rafa Nadal Out....

 

[the AntiPusher]

It's different levels of Nadal games even though he is jaded today!

It's all about what I stated earlier,it's Different levels of Nadal's game.

 

[Moxie]

Well, my cable co. decided to run a month test, and I'll miss the whole on-court interview. Tell me if he said anything insightful. (Won't be holding my breath. LOL.)

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

You know we will probably never see an 'era in tennis' like this...some of the matches say the Big 3 have produced over the years have been outstanding in every possible way.

I don’t know what the next gens need to overcome the Nadal and Djokovic hurdles. It seems they could be up two sets and a break and Nadal and a Djokovic could be in wheel chairs, and they would still lose the match.

What a great match up until Fritz couldn’t figure things out in the tie break. The semi is going to be interesting for sure.
