I am thrilled for Pablo Andujar. He was off 18 months while having 3 elbow surgeries.
And now he is in the 4R at the USO, apparently he won until this event only 2 matches one HC in his whole career!!!

Big serve alone was never enough in a best of 3 on HC.
Marin would be the bigger threat, but not in his current form.
So it doesn’t matter until the final. Only test for Nadal. Hope it will be either Novak or Roger, and no war in SF.

Not really. He couldn't win jack shit here when it was fast and anyone who delves past numbers and uses their head will know the real story.
Not really the only time Nadal could not win us open was at the start of his career then his game was not complete, nothing to do with court speeds, Djokovic has won us open then it's been playing slow are going to try take that win away from him because the courts was slow:lol6: salty because Federer can't win anything then the courts are slow.:cuckoo::banghead:

It sounds shocking to me too, but that is what the commentator said, unless it was his record this season.
I will have to check into this

EDIT: yeah, 2w it had to be his 2019 record on HC, he definitely won more on HC in previous years.
However, this 4R is the first time he reached second week in slams.

The slowing of the courts has greatly helped both Nadal AND Djokovic and they'd have nowhere near their slam totals otherwise. This isn't some outlandish theory but fact. Djokovic only finally won Cinci when Federer was playing like dog shit and ancient and even then it was a measly 1 break per set (6-4 6-4). He hasn't ever been remotely good on fast hard courts and neither has Nadal.

Good going alright after all his surgeries.

So that fast courts are only one of court conditions/surface in tennis too bad for you, having that as a debate is really weak so unless. But is coming from a guy who thinks where 5 different surfaces in tennis then where's only 3 official surfaces:lulz1::unsure: the slower courts are more harder to win which is why Federer sucks so much on those courts, make all the courts fast so my favourite player can win saitly little boy:confused:

Of course it's harder to win on a slow court when you're fucking 38, genius. Give this guy a medal ffs.

Read my edit it says you want all the courts fast so your hero old mate Federer can win, and even then he still get owned by Djokovic like he has for 9 years now. At least Nadal beaten Djokovic 3 years in a row now

6 years is a massive gap in terms of a professional athlete and right now the way things are it completely favours the younger guys (Djokovic and Nadal) over Federer. They have the advantage of the slower courts AND their age. He has 2 disadvantages, his age versus theirs AND the slow ass courts. Nadal and Djokovic are practically the same age and no idea why you're making a big deal out of Nadal beating Djokovic when old man Federer has beaten Nadal a quite a lot the past few years. Think before typing.

If the courts at least played faster then his aggressive game style would be rewarded and it'd be easier to win points and he'd at least have some chance. Now though, with courts as shit as they are, you have to hit a ton of shots before one is actually a winner. There was a 26 shot rally at Wimbledon last month. That's a fucking joke.

Yea I know about age thing you Federer fan's bring it up all the time yes its a factor I agree but not the main reason why he loses against Djokovic all the time or Nadal this year, and yes Federer did beat Nadal a lot in 2017 season he was too good for sure, but only once this year 1-1 with Nadal leading 4 sets to 3. And none on clay Nadal best surface, by the way Federer was in he's 20s then Djokovic owned him at AO 08 semi final straight sets

Cilic is a DF machine. 4 DFs in this game, and still Isner can't break. SMH.

Sure he wouldn't. He's a fucking a saint lol. How could I forget. :facepalm::cuckoo:
They are none of them saints, and no one said that. But instead of copping to the fact that you exaggerate Nadal's behavior and repeatedly call it out, while giving a pass to much worse offenders, you exaggerate MY point to avoid debating your own bias, because you can't defend it.
