Basel 500

[Kirijax]

No worries, Baby Gasquet will give it right back

Not yet! Consolidated the break and looking for another with Rafa spraying the ball! Got it; 3-0! :cover :nono :angel:

Yup, I was wrong.
Kirijax, that is not the incline Rafa marches on, you have to search for a bumpy version
:devil

Ah, something Gollumish maybe.

Going out on a limb here to predict Dimitrov loses in straight sets.

That's going out on a limb? Surely you jest

 

[Kirijax]

They can't both lose right?

 

[Front242]

And there we go. As I said earlier, his serve is his biggest downfall. Complete pile of crap.

Sure they can; "both are losers!" :nono :angel: :dodgy: :ras:

Well....

:snicker

 

[Kieran]

Yeah, Rafa at the net, good stuff! :clap

Calling a 14-time Grand Slam Champion a "loser" sorta kinda mighta put a dent in the credibility of your posts. Just saying. :angel:

I'll have to use this pic and the Gollumish one from above on my next blog! Thanks! :ras: :angel: :dodgy:

 

[Front242]

Nice stop volley by Nadal.

 

[Kieran]

Kudos to Grigor, serving it out... :clap

How the mighty have fallen! I've seen it too many times! McEnroe, Connors, and so many others only had a handful of good showings going years without a sniff of another major title! Rafa's in that category IMO! It should have been the start of the "end" a couple years ago! He's losing multiple times to players like F3; the last being a come from ahead to lose in 5 set in Flushing just recently! Anyone who believes Rafa will return to GLORY days of 2010 and 2013 are deluding themselves; it's over! :nono :angel: :dodgy:

More like it, where on some slopes he can get dizzy

 

[Kirijax]

Nadal wins this. There is no way he will allow Griggy to take this match.

 

[Front242]

Well, must say I'm very surprised Dimitrov won that set. Expected him to botch it. He played well to get to 40-0 there, then it looked like he was going to lose serve. He'll lose the next one anyway 6-3 or so I reckon.

 

[Kieran]

Rafa's forehand is looking like the Hammer of Thor again, this late season... :clap

Okay, that one was Hammer House of Horror... :eyepop

We'll see! Rafa having trouble serving again at the start of set 3! DF; BROKEN again! :clap :laydownlaughing :ras:

Well I can't smash head you, cos I too didn't think he'd manage to serve it out. Weird how the sets are going though.. each one Nadal loses serve first up
