BNP Paribas Open, Indian Wells, CA, 2022 - ATP Masters 1000

Love-30 now...he is pressing now because he could not break serve. I do like the drop shot he just did, just did not go over the net.

 

[rafanoy1992]

At the very least, Nadal is hitting his 2nd serves big right now.

Good hold from love-30 down.

I can see that Nadal is starting to change his tactics a little bit. Now, whether or not it will work against Carlitos remains to be seen.

It might seem that I am stress, but I am actually not, AP. This is my version of being into a Nadal match. Usually, I do not get into THAT invested in a Nadal match, but this is a different type of match.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

There you go Relax all Rafa broke back

 

[rafanoy1992]

That was a HORRIBLE game from Alcaraz. But Nadal says, "Gracias, Carlitos!"

I dont mind if the youngster plays a few more horrible games like that

Actually we were friends for years but I did something to annoy her, so I am stuck with you, Moxie and Kelli or vice versa really

Can I SOS Sandy for help lol!

 

[the AntiPusher]

Can I SOS Sandy for help lol!

She is on these boards. Maybe she will respond to your SOS.. jajaja

 

[rafanoy1992]

The reason I am into this match is because it is a SF of one my favorite tournaments and I know the threat of Alcaraz potentially ending Nadal's path to another IW title. If this was an earlier round match or a different player, I would not be that invested in this match.

It's my way of saying, "Damn, that player is really darn good!"

 

[rafanoy1992]

For Alcaraz, he needs to raise his 1st serve% up because it is killing right now.

Break point for Nadal right now...

 

[Jelenafan]

WOW

 

[rafanoy1992]

Two back to back spectacular shots from Nadal to break Alcaraz's serve.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Darn, bad service game from Nadal to give the break back.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rafa honestly.....service game? gives the break back.

 

[rafanoy1992]

It looks like it is windy out there right now. We will see if Alcaraz can adjust his game with the windy conditions.

On the other hand, Nadal is playing well with the wind...

SHUTUP. I seem to recall you venting about Rafa's form after he WON a tournament (Acapulco) a couple of years ago because he wasn't at the level yet to win a Slam that year....

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rafa you have to convert those BPs like now
