This is too much of an uphill for the king of clay.Mauresmo really wants Rafa gone...

why would Momo care about Nads coming or going?

Rafa clearly doesn't want to play long points, longest rally was 19 shots. I don't think he can hang with Zverev physically. He really needed this set. I'm surprised by Zverev, minimum choking in tight moments.

Zverev is not winning RG24..book it

Desperate dropshots don't deliver for Nadal! Sascha's allowing him to hang in there; esp. hitting shots right to Nadal when they s/b winners!

She is part of the management team at RG plus Zverev looks like a girl.

This I'll agree w/. He's great at playing spoiler, but when gonads of steel are required he goes AWOL.

I think it insane to have even entered the event! It's one thing to compete or even to say "good-bye!" Nadal & his fans have t/b so delusional thinking he had a chance to take this event! They're still thinking it possible! Sascha's allowing him to hang in there! This s/b a wipeout IMO!

There is still some vintage Rafa here. Let's enjoy while we can!

 

[kskate2]

Where was this aggression during the TB?

I'm sorry, I'm still not following.

Zverev's such an idiot! How many times does he have a sitter, can hit the ball anywhere in the court, but goes right to Nadal for a pass? Moron!

That is true. A few times he put a sitter to Rafa's racket. Also Zverev's dropshot is non existent...

 

[kskate2]

Nads can't consolidate the breaks. He could be out in straights unless Zed's level completely falls off

 

[don_fabio]

Zverev is soooo one dimmensional. It's like Hurkacz and Rublev had a baby. No slices, no dropshots, just endless striking without any change of rhytm.

I've been saying that about most tennis players! It's boring AF to watch since the players are just whacking away w/ no thought or imagination!

Zed’s bh dtl for 4-3 was beautiful. He can tend to be feckless and boring, but he also has his moments.
