Ok, at least he is getting to a TB this time. :clap:

I was afraid, he will fold like a cheap tent. But, he did not.

I told that Rafa takes more time on crucial points. Moxie did not believe me. Rafa got time violation at 6-5 and then lost a pt now.

You can keep complaining and dissing Nadal as much as you want but he will still keep picking his butt all the way to 21 slams. Learn to slowly accept it cause otherwise when it happens I am afraid some of you Fed fans will jump off a bridge.

Oh, god terrible.

He made 2 DFs in a row while trying to stay in the set at the end of 2nd set.

Now, he made 3 DFs in one TB.

If not for these, you could easily visualize him winning the match by this time.

Nadal hung tough , but Kachanov, ah the lasting power of youth...

Unfortunately the bad shot selection of youth also; though puzzled by those who couldn’t foresee a close battle; as the same players had a pretty tight match in Toronto.

Denis and KA in the 5 set. Unfortunately, Denis just got broken.

Not a hope. We wouldn't consider him better than Federer even if he did.

Denis like so many nextgen, we keep on saying
“ give them time” but champs don’t wait. In the Majors is when you make your statements, I dunno, feel that Anderson is vulnerable.

Common Denis!!

The peasant might get there, and then it's up to Fed to get 22+ to have had a great career. X slams is nothing if Nads gets X or more
