My lord this big man can move

My lord this big man can move

Yes he can. A lot better than his compatriot Iznah. And he returns better too.

Indeed. We tease, but Opelka is way more than Isner 2.0.

Off topic, but has anyone ever noticed that Layhani says "eh" at the head of each score? No matter the language.

No, I don't notice that. He didn't do it just now at 5-3

 

[kskate2]

Oh wow. Nads got that back.

 

[Nadalfan2013]

Wow

 

[Moxie]

18-0 on the year, and counting. That passes Roger and Pete's best beginnings of the year.

Riley was very good and kept up the pressure. I like him. He's a foodie and an art lover, too.

 

[Moxie]

He does it a lot, though, maybe not on the game scores. He says "eh, forty-thirty, Nadal." Listen for it next time he's in the chair. It's a real tick.

How's his foot looking, Moxie?

Rafa may welcom Nick's big serve although it moves almost as fast as Reily's cannon. Nick is clever and can hit his spots in the service box. Nick is gonna trying to ruin Rafa's perfect season.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Oh wow. Nads got that back.

what does Nads mean ? refresh my memory please

 

[Moxie]

How's his foot looking, Moxie?

It looks like it's well-attached to his ankle. LOL. But seriously, I don't see any sign of an issue. See my response to Kieran on the Rafa fans thread for more detail.

 

[Moxie]

I think K is always hoping we'll adopt it as a rally cry, as in "Go Nads! Go Nads!" But why anyone would wish for that is beyond me.

So next , to paraphrase nadalfan13, it is:

It looks like Nadal vs Kyrgios at 3 pm local time tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully, Nadal is able to recover physically because he played a tight two setter today also in the afternoon.

Thank goodness it didn't go 3. Nick always makes me nervous when he plays Rafa...or when he plays anyone that I want to win.

Rafa says in the press conference that his foot is bother him and today in the second set more so tomorrow I don't think Kyrgios is going to have any compassion with him

 

[Nadalfan2013]

Wow if true then I think Rafa might withdraw from tomorrow's match in order to rest before clay. That would suck because he has a great chance to win a 4th IW title!

Look at Grigor Dimitrov back from the dead and into the QFs.
