Now THAT was a vintage Nadal point right there.

Well done to Carlos he played better in the windy conditions in the 2nd set
I have to go...Come on Rafa use your problem solving methods no?
Check the scores on my phone.

Leaving me here with miss goody too shoes Moxie..jeez. just kidding have a good day

 

[Moxie]

Uno set apiece. This is not a grand slam Miss Moxie..

Distracted. Maybe it just seems long with the wind.

JF I understand what you are saying..Seles was able to rise again and capture some slams and tournament after the incidents but she lost a lot of her prime years. I know what I'm saying if you read again what I said. Her foot movement got completely compromised due to injuries and the youngsters made her suffer.. Hingis once defeated her double bagel. Check the records. I know what I'm talking about.

Sorry if I misunderstood your post, I don’t deny that all that happened to Seles in her 30’s.

Maybe I’m suffering still from board discussion PTSD from countless arguments with Graff fans who blithely assume Graff’s reemergence and Seles decline was inevitable. They attribute all of Seles issues after her comeback again as inevitable.

The only thing I am worried about Nadal IF he wins tonight is the recovery time. Yes, there are not a lot of taxing rallies due to the wind but it is still a long match.

 

[rafanoy1992]

The wind has died down a little bit. So, now we will see normal rallies in the 3rd set.

 

[Moxie]

Take that, young man!

 

[rafanoy1992]

Nadal's serve has been clutch. However, his FH on important moments has been horrible.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Nadal's left shoulder is getting sore.

 

[Moxie]

THAT was some point!

 

[Moxie]

Nadal's left shoulder is getting sore.

And Courier is talking about his ab. What goes on here, people?

 

[Moxie]

Oh, no you didn't!!! That was great from Nadal.

 

[Moxie]

Rafa! Rafa! ¡Vamos!

 

[rafanoy1992]

See, that's why I do not want Nadal to lose to Alcaraz yet! This is too DAMN good!

 

[Moxie]

Wind coming back up. Nadal scratches his pec, and Courier freaks out. Let's wait before chasing the ambulance, please.

 

[Moxie]

And suddenly, 5-3 Nadal, with the break, and he serves for the match.

 

[Moxie]

Guard not changing just yet.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

It’s a shame Alcaraz couldn’t send Nadal packing. Soon though, his game is getting there.

 

[Jelenafan]

The king was not slain.

 

[Moxie]

The king was not slain.

I'm glad they both hung in during the tough conditions. No complaining, and I don't think it affected the outcome. #nowhining
