AUSTRALIAN OPEN, Melbourne, ATP GRAND SLAM

[DarthFed]

The only roadblock to Zverev becoming a bigtime player is his head. No consistency point to point. Hopefully he continues to develop and that issue goes away because if it does he might be the best player in the world by this time next year.

No, no. Multiple double faults and pathetic UFE´s from both sides... it has to get much better just to reach the "bad" level.

 

[mrzz]

great reverse overhead by Nadal

 

[Vince Evert]

C'mon Alexander. Bundle Nadal out of the tournament

 

[mrzz]

Zverev simply NEVER blocks a first serve with his forehand. He always goes for the top spin. Most times it doesn´t pay.

 

[Vince Evert]

he'll regroup in the 5th and eliminate Nadal in style.

 

[DarthFed]

Zverev just not doing enough on the big points. Got to be aggressive vs. Nads

 

[britbox]

Five it is...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well done Rafa,just one more set.Vamos!

 

[DarthFed]

That ROS is terrible.

 

[DarthFed]

Got to give the big edge to Rafa here. Zverev hasn't broken since the first set. The Djokovic loss has breathed life into Nadal, I don't think he's blowing this. Got to hope Raonic takes out the rat.

LOL! you have to be a Federer fan no doubt

 

[DarthFed]

Pathetic stuff. I think this kid will be a good one..but not yet.

 

[britbox]

Nightmare on Nadal Street.

Yes, and you must be a Rafa fan

 

[DarthFed]

Nightmare on Nadal Street.

The sad thing is he's gotten worse since the 3rd set. Zverev simply went away after taking a 2 set to 1 lead

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Yes, and you must be a Rafa fan [/QUOTE

Vamos Rafa keep going!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sad to see Roger fans dismissing Rafa of well

This version of Nadal would be straight setted by Raonic. He made the right adjustments to his game but his overall level was far from spetacullar.

Cmon Sascha... make these count.
