MUTUA MADRID ATP 1000 - May 1st to May 8th 2016

[kskate2]

3 BPs for Muzz

 

[Front242]

Very lame backhand error by Nadal to lose serve.

 

[isabelle]

Muzza plays well for the moment, hope he can continue like that

 

[kskate2]

Muzz stretches the lead to 4-1

 

[Front242]

Drop shots have been horrendous by Nadal so far today.

 

[kskate2]

Pretty lame for sure. Like bailouts instead calculated shots

 

[kskate2]

They both need to quit w/ the droppers

 

[Front242]

Both guys have gone really passive here in this game. Ugly tennis.

 

[kskate2]

Errors from nowhere and Nadal has 2 BPs

 

[Front242]

Very big hold after playing muck for much of that game.

 

[kskate2]

That BH on the line was sweet

 

[kskate2]

More BPs for Nadal

 

[kskate2]

And Muzz obliges him w/ a lame error. Back on serve 5-4

 

[Front242]

Murray shows there just why he's so much of a lesser player than the top guys. Whenever he's ahead he reverts back to playing error prone passive tennis as he can't keep up the aggression. He's improved his second serve noticeably but till he can sustain the pressure and aggression he's always gonna be second fiddle to the top players. First serve has been poor all match though at only 43%

I agree. 3+1.

 

[Front242]

Seems Murray is way more aggressive on his return games but takes the foot off the gas and plays passive when ahead on his own service.

 

[kskate2]

first time warning for Nadal from Bernardes

 

[kskate2]

5-5 after a contentious game

 

[kskate2]

finally a good dropper

 

[Front242]

LOL, the ball was miles out and called in.
