vernando fiasco wins a 3rd set tb to fend off impending defeat v milos.

and marty mcfly is 3-0 up in the 5th.

he is zooming through that 5th set..must be hitting the ball consistently over 88mph.

These idiots at the USTA management is horrendous.Fish, called for the trainer 15 mins ago and the guy showed up 20 minutes later. Verdasco's rackets should have been delivered over an hour ago,

Fish wasn't entitled to a trainer, he had cramps. Still they could have ignored the rules this time.

They're lucky trainers are allowed to come out under those circumstances! In the old days, the player would just have to suffer, sometimes writhing on the court flat on their backs! I've seen it with the ladies and men; it's horrible, but they let it get that far! Either they were pushing themselves past what their body could take or they didn't hydrate enough the day before! :cover :puzzled :nono :angel: :dodgy:

Credit to Fish after to be so long out of the court due to his health issue and has taken Feli who is playing pretty well to a fifth set :clap

If you are a guy as short as Schwartzman, one would think his whole game would have been built around taking the ball on the rise. It is not though. The guy is way behind the baseline and has to jump 3 feet in the air to deal with regular top spins from Rafa. Go forward young man, take the ball on the rise...

So, Fog won. Next up fisherman form Mallorca.

Nadal has that one in straight sets, with a bagel set in there somewhere.

Can't picture Fog beating Rafa or anyone good at a GS event but if he actually decides to play for the whole match (as in the 50-50 chance he tries) he has the potential to make it extremely interesting.

Nadal is getting thoroughly outplayed by Diego Schwartzman. What will it take him to play aggressively? This set should have been over a long time ago. I really wish he loses here. Maybe that would get him thinking. Idiot... :cringe

Caught the end of Rafa struggling with a 5'6 version of Zack Morris.

^ You act like it's an upset. Short of him losing to his GF there are no surprises.
