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

[Murat Baslamisli]

Clever and cool play from Nick, going behind Rafa there.

 

[El Dude]

Loving what I'm seeing from Kyrgios. I don't think he'll beat Nadal, but this kid is good - what serve and forehand. He reminds me a bit of a young Del Potro.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

What a set, where have the Aussies been hiding this kid if he's already this good?

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Ace to close it out and Rafa, again,loses the mandatory first set. The difference this time though is that this kid has a massive serve, so he can hang in there a bit longer if the serve does not desert him.

Still, Rafa is going to step it up now.

He's going to slow the match down and make the lad think about things.

Cmon Lil buddy. Beat rafa

At this point my GrandFather could win a set off Rafa and GrandDad is old.uzzled

Looking forward to Raonic v Kyrgios. Should be a good match.

Young DP didn't have that kind of a serve, but I see your point.

Which is customary to do w/ young upstarts, isn't it?

Amazing first set from Kyrgios can he keep this up?.One thing for sure is I won't be forgetting Kyrgios name in a hurry.

Did Nadal take a medical timeout? I am following this off and on.

If he is, I bet that Front is loving it.

Never said it wasn't.

Yeah, he took 7 already. Actually no I made that up. I make everything up.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Rafa needs to start moving forward by attacking and putting the Rush on Nick's BH.. I am not worried.. Hence forth..I think I will go into" Kieran" mode.. these boards gets too hot during the Rafa matches in a Grand Slam

Absolutely, as long as your dream doesnt become Rafa's nightmare.

Krygios is already playing too timidly in the second set, with Nadal just starting to pick up steam.

Sorry to burst your bubble Front, but I don't like how this is going already.

He's young and unpredictable and that's what makes it interesting.

 

[calitennis127]

I love how Krygios is running around the backhand on the return!

I hope MikeOne is watching that given his inane argument that such a maneuver is too "low-percentage".

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Very nice pass from the kid...wow..
