I said yesterday I'd be amazed if he won 6 games. Haven't even been watching and would rather watch paint dry tbh. Even before his back injuries the 6 games would've been a stretch, now maybe 3 or 4 is more realistic.
This is bordering on watching paint dry — and I’m a Rafa fan. Gasquet just has nothing to bring to this matchup.

Yeah, he never did at all even before his movement was hampered. I'd watch Nadal playing someone who could challenge him for sure but there's no value to watching someone lose and lose badly while I could do something more constructive :) I'm actually not doing anything constructive at all but just not watching :D

As a woman with multi skills I am doing domestics while watching the tennis:) actually I have also watched high lights of Rogers match as well.

I’m barely watching at this point.

The reason why you aren’t watching GOATdal is because you are too busy making excuses for Federer breaking the rules… :bye:

First I don’t even know if Front is a woman or a man and second it wasn’t an insult either way but just to show how he/she will defend favourite player no matter what they do even if they broke the rules. The fact that you thought of homophobia out of nowhere says more about you than anything else because homophobia has never crossed my mind in my whole life. :rolleyes:
Look, it's all good. I'm a guy btw but Federer was playing a guy bouncing the ball way, way too much between points so the fact that Cilic complained was a joke to be honest. I'm glad angry Federer started playing better and won instead of letting it lose him the match as well as set 2. I offer you a laurel and hardy handshake. And a kebab.

And because exchanging funny videos is more interesting than this match, I offer this:

Exactly the same here. Even before this match I've already decided not to watch. I have a chance now, but nah, this match is without any challenge for Nadal and that pisses me off in
some way.

Can't believe Cilic out of people decided to complain. This is laughable at least, Cilic is bouncing the ball like it's Groundhog day.

With regards to kebab, if done right sometimes it's best sort of junk food. I love it once in a while.

I'm actually amazed to see Gasquet back at 5-5 from 4-2 down in set 2. 5 games won so far has definitely exceeded expectations.

There goes Gasquet's chance anyway. Chance of a tiebreak that is :D Just noticed there's only 2 weeks age difference between them. Gasquet is 35 on the 18th.
