The point that swings the TB??

 

[tented]

He’s playing well to set up the SPs, but he’s got to convert.

"WTF was that Rafa?" Totally thrown off there! SP for Mannarino!

 

[tented]

SP #4 — come on!!

 

[tented]

What a crazy point to get to 9-9

 

[Moxie]

Holy shit! What a point.

 

[Fiero425]

SP #4 — come on!!

Nadal's hitting a lot of sliced BH's! He can't be happy with that! Daniil, Sascha, or Stefanos will eat that up!

 

[Moxie]

That was better...Rafa stepped in. He's giving up too much court to Mannarino who is NOT a huge server.

 

[Moxie]

Fantastic return. My nerves!

 

[Moxie]

Win or lose this set, Nadal is breaking Mannarino's will, and he won't win 3 sets.

 

[Fiero425]

Had the whole court and just hit it right to Rafa! "Thanks Man!" Neither wants to win this!

 

[tented]

What a crazy tiebreak! So many SPs gone by.

Anyone have a count? I guess they'll tell us. More for Rafa, I think.

[tented]

Holy shit! What a way to win the set!!!!

 

[Moxie]

That will break Mannarino's heart.

 

[Jelenafan]

Nadal fans...

That tiebreaker lasted longer than a MIchael Chang farewell tour....

Mannarino's definitely in shock! I'm not! This is what he does!

 

[tented]

28 minute tiebreak + 1 glass of wine.
