One thing about Rafa that has always been impressive that he finds solutions when not playing his best tennis

As I've said before, IDK why they're making such a big deal out of this run? It's been done and more! When he gets to 30-0 call me! :fearful-face: :yawningface::face-with-hand-over-mouth:
Actually, 30 means nothing. The streak record, as of now is: 1.Djokovic 41-0; 2. Djokovic 26-0; 3. Nadal 18-0. Nadal needs to get to 27 to move into the #2 slot. And I hate to be negative, but I doubt anyone will pass Novak's 41-0 in this generation. That's an amazing streak to start the year, or at any point.

Just another milestone that may never be broken in my lifetime! Both Fedovic have won AO and the 1st 2 Masters 1000 events! Rafa's never won Miami! Novak did it one better by winning Madrid in 2015 to win the 1st three Masters events of the season along with AO! This is why I have more regard for Fedovic over Nadal no matter what he does! Falling back on his "feet" as an issue means nothing to me! Everyone has a story! Novak's was his diet and drama behind the scenes! :fearful-face: :face-with-hand-over-mouth::face-with-tears-of-joy:

Norrie playing "within" himself and running Alcaraz off the court so far, up 2-1 in the 1st set with a break! :clap: :fearful-face::face-with-hand-over-mouth::face-with-tears-of-joy:
I dont think Alcaraz has played on the main court until this match?....defending champion Norrie has been going under the radar in this tournament so far.

Oh Nicky..... :face-with-hand-over-mouth:



This tournament COULD be an encouraging sign for Kyrgios as he battled into the Qtrs and hung tough with Nadal to the end. Yet again we are talking Nick, so you don't know if it's too late for him to be more than an ever dangerous outlier in the draw. Do we know if he's WC into Miami?

This is even worse, he is completely crazy, ugh!


Moxie are you sure you want to give him a pass . If he hit that ball person or someone in the stands, Nick would be suspended until next year

I'm sure everyone is exhausted and moving on, but this Alcaraz v. Norrie match is very good.

After a stunning back-and-forth, Alcaraz breaks Norrie to win the first set, 6-4.
