I can’t see Spain winning against the offspring of the English insane asylums and prisons

I've been reading this for years and I really think people are not paying attention. Goffin can take the ball early and on a good day can fire a ton of winners catching the opponent off guard. I really don't know how that is not seen as a weapon. I've seen countless players with much more "weapons" not being able to fire one fifth of the winners Goffin had today against Nadal.
This. Davydenko was pretty slight, but he took the ball early and always troubled Nadal on HC. Coffin was all over Nadal a couple of years back on clay, until he got a bad call and never recovered. I figured he could be trouble, though I didn't think he beat Rafa right now.

Funny how you mentioned that bad call against David, I remember that match very good . I was so pissed, because he controlled Nadal on clay until this shit. But couldn’t reset after that and fell apart.

I woke up just in time to see the TB! I couldn't believe it! Goffin has no real weapon besides his court mobility! I need to see the replay and then hear the excuses! Supposedly there is no injury, but commentators now hinting at him being tired for tomorrow's match if he survives this late doubles necessity! :facepalm:

Goffin has beaten Djokovic and Federer before. Great to see Nadal tank his match so that they need to play a decisive doubles and give the crowd more drama! :good:

He also is sweating more than everyone else, maybe this was the reason for today’s loss ;-):
Rafa said afterwards the doubles that the conditions were very heavy plus I think the Spanish Bull is still a bit jet lagged..

They want to promote this Cup, so I’m pretty sure they put their best to play against each other, like Novak will play Daniil, and hopefully Novak- Nadal.

If I understood correctly the rules mandate that the top-ranked players play each other.
Yes, damn it, de minaur is playing Nadal. Not good for the show, everyone, except nadalfans, want to see the clown against bull.
