AUSTRALIAN OPEN, Melbourne, ATP GRAND SLAM

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

looks a good match..tuned in at 5-5.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

He got out of jail in that set overall... Nadal was playing the better tennis for the most part. Not that I care in the slightest.

LOL!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I like the kid and to date he has 'the best hair in the ATP' it used to be Roger BTW

 

[britbox]

Danger is he might go walkabout. He lost the second set 6-0 at Indian Wells.

 

[DarthFed]

This would be a huge hold, he played 3 really bad points to start

 

[Tennis Fan]

Okay Rafa enough is enough get your head together and win the next 2 sets you can do this you have a great 5 set record,seeing I am only your fan online here Vamos!

You know why you're the only Nadal fan online, don't you? LOL!

 

[DarthFed]

This set is getting away quickly. Really weak stuff mentally after seizing the 3rd set. That is one of the knocks on the kid early on in his career

 

[Denis]

A bit of a shame to start the fourth like this, kind of neutralises your gains.

 

[Denis]

Set looks over before it started.

 

[DarthFed]

His serve has disappeared and the rest of his game has been a struggle aside from that TB.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Give the Kid a break okay,he is one of my fav young players,he will learn,Vamos Rafa BTW

 

[mrzz]

Yes, Rafa, give the kid a break!

 

[DarthFed]

I hope he's conserving some energy for the 5th because he's barely moving right now.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Yes, Rafa, give the kid a break!

No, not in this match

 

[DarthFed]

Give the Kid a break okay,he is one of my fav young players,he will learn,Vamos Rafa BTW

I will give him a break if he dispatches Ralph

 

[Denis]

In other news, Istomin finds himself in another five-set battle. Hope a player can take advantage of pulling off an upset for once.

 

[Denis]

Poor call by Nadal. Wishful thinking, shows he is in trouble.

 

[Denis]

Haven't seen somebody going toe to toe with Nadal's forehand in cross-court exchanges lik this since Djokovic.

 

[DarthFed]

The level has dropped off heavily from both this set.

Yeah, it's pretty bad at the moment.
