Wimbledon, Day 4, 2 July, Order of Play

[Carol]

I was out for awhile and I see Rafa losing almost the third set? uzzled
Vamos!!!!!!!

 

[Federberg]

Impressive I must say. This ain't percentage tennis!

 

[GameSetAndMath]

The dreaded dreadlocks is on fire.

We got a half volley, swing volley, drop volley, traditional volley, shoestring volley expo.

Way to go Dustin. clap:clap

Now, time for last nail in the coffin.

 

[Front242]

Gotta love it. Well worth skipping the gym for.

 

[nehmeth]

One more set and Kieran can come back to the forums Rasta-man! :clap

 

[Carol]

Does someone fairly and objectively tell me how Rafa lost that third set?

 

[DarthFed]

Looks like another 5 set battle for the grass court guru.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Impressive I must say. This ain't percentage tennis!

Yes and No.

Yes, this is not a percentage tennis that you should generally be playing.

No, this is percentage tennis against this particular opponent.

 

[Federberg]

One more set and Kieran can come back to the forums Rasta-man! :clap

:laydownlaughing
Don't make me start supporting Nadal!

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Stat of the match:

No. of points involving more than 10 shots so far: 1

 

[Front242]

Start baiting those hooks. Anyone for fishing?

 

[Carol]

Maybe someone else is going to be out of the forum for a while and not precisely a Rafa's fan....:laydownlaughing

That is absurd, wow!

 

[brokenshoelace]

I know man. Makes me wonder how he pulled off that unthinkable upset a few years ago when he beat Federer, and better yet, how almost half the tennis universe expected said upset.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Anyway, the most disappointing part is, as good as Brown has played, the breaks have come after bad tennis from Nadal.

Rafa is beating by himself and the most sad part is that the next match Brown will lose easily

Rafa is a warrior. It ain't over until it's over

I know how he pulled it off...Roger didn't play as well as he should have But anyways you should look into the definition of the word, there are small upsets and there are large upsets. The match in question was a small upset and the betting lines showed that.

This has to be disturbing for Nadal fans. It appears he relinquishes his serve at the drop of a hat. Can't sustain the lead or any momentum whatsoever. It looks mental to me.

He should go see somebody if his confidence is really that shaken. Losing your RG crown followed by a loss to "dreddy" will only speed the sinking ship. :cover
