Miami Open, Florida, USA, ATP Masters 2017

[Carol]

Fog is a real showman :lulz2:

 

[Federberg]

Watching Kohlschreiber against Rafa. He's wailing on Rafa's serve. Is this a new tactic the tour is taking up following Roger's success? I can't believe what I'm seeing

 

[atttomole]

Looks like Nadal's mind is somewhere else.

 

[Carol]

Kolsch playing well but Rafa......HORRIBLE :shy: hope some changes and soon

 

[atttomole]

He is sluggish.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Kohly with a double break in first set. :clap

He should not take his leg off the pedal and finish off.

 

[Puppet Master]

Passive bit€h. He is letting the titan Kohlschreiber completely dominate him. This is unwatchable honestly.

 

[Carol]

Kolshch is playing very good but Rafa is playng HORRIBLE, hope some changes soon

 

[Moxie]

Kohlschreiber has given Nadal some trouble before, but only beaten him once. But he's come out very hot, and Rafa is, yes, looking slow and not at all engaged yet.

 

[Carol]

Passive bit€h. He is letting the titan Kohlschreiber completely dominate him. This is unwatchable honestly.

I can't believe how he is playing, he looks to be completely out of there

 

[Frode789]

5-0. What is happening. First set looks to be a bagel.

 

[Federberg]

Let's not underestimate the effect his aggressive returns are having on Rafa. I don't think his form is that bad, but his confidence is brittle. Doesn't take much for him to start shanking

 

[Puppet Master]

I have a piece of advice for Moya and Toni. Lock him inside of a closed practice court, turn on the lights and make him hit every ball as hard as he can, kind of like Wawrinka almost does.
Or just make him go full on Gulbis hit every serve and groundstroke as hard as possible. Then he can come into matches and take just a bit of pace off the ball. This just isn't working. You have guys like Nishioka dominating him in rallies these days.

 

[El Dude]

Wow, Rafa bageled. What is going on?

I was afraid of this ..

 

[Federberg]

Wow! Of all the thing I expected, Rafa being taken to Bagel-town wasn't on the list

 

[Carol]

Something is not good on Rafa, he is letting his opponent to look too good, it's ridiculous

 

[Federberg]

I'm not so sure Carol. Looking at the set data. The pace of those returns... I honestly think that's the single best set of tennis that guy has ever played. Rafa had the misfortune of being the victim. It's not over

 

[El Dude]

As far as I can tell, Rafa hasn't been bageled since the 2015 Australian Open, when he lost in straight sets to Tomas Berdych in the QF.

That first set has been ridiculous thanks to all his errors one by one
