Wisconsin baby

Neighboring Canada rather than Mexico.

Mr. T. They putting something in the water down there? Why do players get sick so often?

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Kohlschreiber double faults away his set point. 6 all in the tiebreak.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Rafa's drop volleys have been awful today.

 

[Vince Evert]

He's done it. Bernard's won the third set in a tiebreaker (8-6). He had to save three set points. GO TOMIC ?

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Oh no. A net tip over gives Tomic set point. And he took his first one. That hurts for Kohl.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Yeah, this is turning into a "tennis match" again, which doesn't bode too well for Nadal. Needs to find some energy to put something on his first serve, and more importantly, the consistency to get it in.

Weekend at Bernie's wearing his lucky weekend shirt a little early in the week. :snigger

Nah that's not it. It's like Broken Shoelace said quite some time ago. Nadal has been ill earlier in this match, something to do with his stomach, aye Broken Shoelace. THAT'S NOT TAKING ANYTHING AWAY FROM TIM's GREAT PLAY. He's hit some dazzling shots and has ability to take Nadal's looping topspin shots on the rise and struck some magnificent winners.

 

[Vince Evert]

What's Tim's 5 set record like ? Has he played any Five setters including against the big names before ?

Switching back-and-forth between Nadal's match and Tomic's. So much awesome tennis.

You understand I'm just giving you the business, right? But seriously, over the years I've seen a few sick players down there. The other day, some poor girl barfed on the court. They took a 10 min break so the ball kids could clean it up. Poor ball kids...:gross:

 

[brokenshoelace]

If Nadal loses this, the most disappointing thing will be that he gave away pretty much every crucial point. Be it all the unforced errors when he had break points, or all the double faults when he was facing break points.

 

[kskate2]

that 2nd serve is a serious love offering

 

[kskate2]

4-4. Entering sudden death. Let's see if the kid can hold his onions
