OK, now they are replaying the conversation he had with Bernardes during the changeover. Let's see if spit and vinegar brings him back into this match, or if he falls apart.

Remember Moxie , you wanted me to give Nick a pass on the ATP top 5 villain's list.. I told you it would be contingent on his behavior in this match

I looked at the stats for the first set, can they be right? It' says Nadal won 0 % points on his 2nd serve, but then again it says he had 88% First serves in, winning 74% of those. So I guess with that, you don't need to win any second serves. :)

I will say this, I am LUCKY that Rafael Nadal is able to win 21 Slam titles. Can you imagine if my favorite player chokes a two set lead in a GS Final AND hits chair umpires after a doubles match?!

I do remember. You did say he may go off in this match. So far, and based on the low bar currently set, and racquet smash and an f-bomb don't make the cut. Let's see how the 2nd set goes.

One of my favorite outbursts of all time! I just like how he says, "How many times?!"

When did he say that?
Late 1st set. I noted it above. Rafa had some mishits that went in. It's an illogical complaint, but he let it bother him, and I think it was the beginning of his downfall in the first.

not saying that he is a KING but Rafa needs to kill him now.. Do not let Nick back into this match.. Remember the wise words of Omar Little, " You best not MISS!

I agree with brother AP here. Nadal has to end this match quickley because he does not want to play another potential long match...
