Wimbledon Day 4: Thursday, June 26 - Order of Play

[Murat Baslamisli]

Nadal up 2-1. I think he runs away with it now.

Gasquet -Kyrgios is really exciting right now.

 

[britbox]

^ Some good matches today.

 

[Riotbeard]

Good on Rafa for righting the ship and going up 2-1.

 

[britbox]

One way traffic at the moment.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

bP for Kyrgios in the fifth, tied at 7-7. Gasquet save it with an ace.

 

[crystalfire]

Rosol seems to be done

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Gaquet has match point at 7-8, Aussie serving...saves it with a huge serve.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Kyrgios has 3 BPs to go up 9-8 and he takes it. He will serve for the match.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Amazing backhand from the Aussie to go up 30-0. he can taste it now...

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Well done Kyrgios! Closes it out with an ace, coming back from 0-2. He saved 9 match points!
There is hope !

 

[El Dude]

After Vesely and Kyrgios won today, I'm feeling a bit more positive about the younger generation (although these guys are almost in the next gen after Dimitrov/Raonic).

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Rosol is trying to stay positive but he is not making any dents in Rafa's serve games and he is having a hard time holding his on serve. His timing seems to be off...

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Nadal would love to break here and close it out...but Rosol has his best serving game of the set. I think it was less than a minute.

Going for broke like that gives neither player any rhythm as far as I'm concerned! What I find fault with the most is Rosol avoiding the net when he does have Rafa on the defensive! True enough it's no picnic trying to pick passing shots bending like that, but he's not going to win from the baseline either! He allowed Rafa to get in a groove by starting those rallies in the 2nd set and now "he's done!" uzzled :nono :angel:

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Rosol trying to hang in there.30-30.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

A blink from Nadal gives Rosol a BP. He just shanked that forehand.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Ace gives Rafa his first MP. Hits the forehand long, back to deuce.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Great point played by Rosol, back to deuce.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Another ace, another MP for Rafa.

Done! My mom used to say, "act like you've been there before!" That jumping up and down with a 2nd round match is pathetic! In my day you just didn't act like that, even at a tourney's end, much less an early round match! :nono
