Brad Gilbert says rubbish. Now he is suggesting that Tsitsipas looks fresher.

T is doing fine when the point is short. Once in a long rally, of course the ad is with Ralph.

All antis wake up. Match is beginning now.

The most unattractive thing about some people on these forums of late is that they are more anti-Nadal even than pro-Federer. Used to be only Front, long ago, and we shamed him out of it. Now you act as if you can just come out of the closet with it. No respect for fellow posters who are Nadal fans, no respect for an elite player, no respect for the game.

The kid has scrambled the veteran's brain. That dropper was poor and now Adonis has SP

Nads escapes w/ some clutch points. TB it is

Nadal dropped his intensity right when he needed to close out. Weird, but I think he'll pull his head and game back together now.

 

[kskate2]

That was a tired looking shot from the kid

 

[kskate2]

3-3 at the changeover

 

[atttomole]

Unique defence.

 

[kskate2]

oh no. bad miss and Nads has the mini 5-3

 

[kskate2]

another miss and it's CP

 

[kskate2]

Nice moment at the net. Nadal really respects the kid.

 

[atttomole]

This is what I was talking about. Two badly hit forehands to shorten the points.

 

[Moxie]

Defense helped Nadal through some of that breaker, but he won it on a winner. Good on Stefanos for making a match out of it. He found some solutions and some resolve. First MS1000, so great job.

 

[El Dude]

So impressed with the young (and very good looking) Greek. Perhaps the most impressive quality is his on court demeanor. He doesn't turn into a big cry baby like Sascha. This kid is going places.

Now that nadal won 4th rogers cup he should really think about skipping cincinnati, he is more likely to win the us open.

 

[Moxie]

13 years after he won it at 19 to beat Agassi, he wins it again, now for the fourth time. ¡Vamos, Rafa!

That's what I said, too. So I don't know what to do about my draw.

Only me lol? It was never only me. There are billions worldwide who hate that Mallorcan muppet in case you hadn't noticed and on all tennis forums I've been on there have been plenty more than just me lol.

Congrats to Ralph on #33, and expanding his distance in the minor league GOAT competition.

Hats off to kid for showing some resolve at the end. He definitely learnt as he more than doubled the number of games he won in Barcy final.
