How could they tell?

I didn't see the match, but from what I've read - lack of effort, bunting shots long etc.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Moclan 1st set against FAA 63?

Rafa and McDonald warming up on RLA

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Play expected now on outside courts in 1/2 an hour, 3.30pm local time

FAA down 2 sets

 

[Fiero425]

Nadal's already down a set to McDonald in the 2nd Round; 4-6....

 

[Vince Evert]

and down a break in the second. Huge upset in the making, my friends.

 

[Vince Evert]

Can McDonald keep up this standard or will his level drop / tenses up and Rafa gets out of jail ?

Since Marian Vadja Novak ex long standing coach, has coached, this young man Molcan has been making leaps and bounds, he is a lefty and hits hard and aggressive.

 

[Vince Evert]

Nadal finally holds but was close to being down a double break. Good thinking player is the young american.

Nadal can turn this around but he'll have to go for shorter points and venture to the net more as his traditional baseline game is not sharp today. It does involves some risks however.

...and hope that Macca goes off the boil.

We will see

 

[Vince Evert]

Nadal gets the break back.

 

[don_fabio]

Think both Nadal and FAA can turn this around.

 

[Vince Evert]

Macca's giving the crowds their monies worth but it would be a huge loss to the tournament if Nadal is defeated, not to mention Channel Nine all important TV ratings, already reeling from Nick's withdrawing.

 

[Vince Evert]

Aw, there's too many talking heads involved on channel 9 tennis. Far out. Almost everytime they come back from commercials and back to a tennis match in progress, theres some hostess raving on about outside court action, weather conditions. Tennis broadcasting these days is OTT.

 

[Vince Evert]

3 all now, the crucial all-important seventh game as Fred Stolle used to always say.

Why dont you subscribe to Stan when the AO is on, it is free with no commercials and you can also watch outside courts

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

No play on the outside courts now till 5pm local time, about 1/2 an hour from now
We are on Daylight Saving, so hopefully the outside courts will play, about 3 plus hours of sunlight left

Sorry, that was sarcastic, meaning that Fognini always looks like there's no effort.
