Australian Open [Men] - Grand Slam

Mox a belated happy new year to you. I reckon that stuff has been more of media beat-up. NK really respects Nadal.

Happy New Year to you, Vince! Nick would be an idiot not to respect Nadal. But I don't think it's a stretch to say he doesn't much like him.

3 BPs for Nadal, this should do it.

Yeah, Nick is mentally checking out here...love-40

Ok the Clown-show is over. Lasted longer than i thought.

I was the first to say Nadal won't make the final but it's a stretch to say he doesn't have a chance against anyone, let alone Thiem.

I am afraid this level isnt enough, but certainly there is always a chance. Espacially wehn your name is Rafael Nadal.
Zverev is looking damn strong right now. Did not have him on my radar so far.
Big matches are coming with Nadal-Thiem and Zverev-Stanislas.

Easy ride so far in the prior rounds but Nadal needs a Testy tougher match in order to be match hardened, will serve him in good stead in the remaing rounds.

can't comment as i am not actually watching this. I recording the game on my Panny hard-drive and will look at it tomorrow.

 

[Vince Evert]

well don't keep me in suspense. WGO !!!!

 

[Vince Evert]

Is NK showing any signs of wearyness ? Is Nadal Uped his level or is he looking 'shaky' on serve ?

Nick digging deep, Rafa getting tight. DF.

If you can turn on your TV, why don't you try it?
