Wimbledon Day 8: Tuesday, July 1 - Order of Play

[Murat Baslamisli]

Milos-Kei playing the third set TB. I have a feeling this is big.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Great return from MIlos gives him the first mini-break.

Wawrinka takes out Lopez. Quite a bit of bad blood between those two by the close. Arguing at the net after the match.

What's their problem?

Lopez was grumbling loudly between points throughout the third set and the umpire warned him he would take action if it continued. Later in the set, Stan got a little vocal but said he was talking to the crowd.

At the handshake, Lopez started venting a bit and then an argument started. 7 Digital here in Oz said they were fading it out because of the bad language.

Wawrinka looked good. Served around 30 aces and was volleying more than I've seen before... and volleying well.

I see. FLO a little grumpy out there today then. The match w/ Fed will be monstrous. Big serves, both players trying to the net first. I can't wait...

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Milos plays a solid TB and wins the third.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Kei is dealing with some sort of injury or the other..again. His ankle I think.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

115mph first serve for MIlos. Miss. 136 for the second. Ace. It is all upside down.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

Nishikori with an injury again? Sort your body out Kei, you'll never hit the big time properly if you don't.

Kyrgios serving absolutely massive so far, even on seconds. Could be an interesting match if he can keep it up.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

It will take some getting used to I think to Kyrgios's serve motion for Nadal. It is quick, kinda like Dolgo's . You have to time your return jump accordingly.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Milos breaks and he will serve for the match.

 

[tennisville]

wow Nadal takes a lot of time , 4 points are played in the Raonic-Nishikori match while only 1 in the Nadal match in the same duration of time

 

[tennisville]

okay Raonic in the quarters

Nadal next

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Milos closes it out and will wait for Nadal...or...Uhm...Nadal.

Kyrgios is too green to know he is supposed to lose, so it will take some time for him to find that out.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Just the fact that there is a new young face in the Center Court, going toe to toe with a top guy makes me happy. A breath of fresh air.

 

[the AntiPusher]

wow Nadal takes a lot of time , 4 points are played in the Raonic-Nishikori match while only 1 in the Nadal match in the same duration of time

I think rafa knows what he is doing.. Let's put like this.. Would you rush Michelangelo, da Vinci
or Mozart.. the same applies to Rafa.."Relax .. dont be concern about about 3-5 seconds.. let the Man do his thang!

 

[kskate2]

This kid does have a massive serve. Giving Nadal fits on the return game as well. SP for the kid

 

[kskate2]

Wow, that return just floated over the baseline. Deuce

 

[kskate2]

Heading to a breaker

 

[kskate2]

Errors from Nadal and he is down 2 mini breaks 4-0

 

[crystalfire]

Cmon Lil buddy. Beat rafa

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

The kid is up 4-2 in the TB, one mini break. He must start feeling the occasion right about now. We'll see.
