I've read Coric took a loooong toilet break and came back (like Nishi in Rio and Cuevas yesterday) fresher and with more energy, then Kirgyos started to lose smashing his racket several times :chillout:

The WTA player Konta is notorious about taking toilet breaks..it helped her in Stanford vs Venus and again yesterday in Cincy

They should take some action about it and what they are doing in those restrooms. By the way Nishi also did it in this last Barcelona tournament though it didn't work so well that time :nono

Taking a bio break, I am okay with..to take a shower is where there is an unfair advantage

Wow, Grigor defeats Stan. Just recently Grigor was on a long losing streak. Is Baby Fed growing up?

Woah there, Nadal playing the absolute WORST tennis in his career, looks just flat out exhausted. Coric, the weaponless idiot, is made to look like a shotmaking god. He is killing him right now.
I don't get it honestly, why play when you clearly can't. What are you trying to prove?

I don't understand Rafa, why he is still playing when obviously the tiredness has catch him badly and he can't play? he can't hit the ball with the FH and with BH either, come on Rafa, take a rest which you need it more than anything else and don't worry so much to reach the #4 :s :cover

I might come off as an a$$hole but I would rather kill myself than let Coric beat me 6:1 6:0. You all get what I am trying to say, I mean BORNA CORIC, come on man...
Why didn't he retire after the first set? Is he that stupid?

Unfortunately or fortunately what the commentator has said is right, Nadal is too professional
I"d better say besides he is very professional without any doubts he is also a little nut .....this match is completely absurd

Those 2 are both so consistently inconsistent it's no surprise really although Dimitrov has been a bit better than usual lately.

If Rafa had any aspirations of going deep into Cincinnati, he should have forfeit the bronze match vs Nishikori..I know when I stated that it may have appeared to be a weak stance but now in retrospect, it would have been the smartest decision

A lot of surprises in this tournament already. Currently right now, Raonic and Sugita are in the third set. If Raonic losses, then Thiem has a great chance to reach his first ever Masters 1000 semifinal!

So is "bathroom break" the new excuse for Rafa losing?

:cool::p

Four the five matches today (so far) have been upsets. I'd love to see K Anderson win to add another (Cilic v Berdych is close enough not to consider one or the other being an upset).
