Ferrer in four tonight.

Why does Joanna Griggs insist on stating what country every single player she mentions represents? It's not the olympics FFS.

Love Ferrer's work ethic.

Re: 2011 Australian Open - Part 2

Nadal taking an injurt time out, doesn't look the happiest of chappies. Maybe Ferrer can take advantage of whatever the ailment is and make it a tight contest.

Must be a bug or something? Doesn't seem to be a muscle or movement related injury.

EDIT: Or maybe it is. Seems a bit slow.

Re: 2011 Australian Open - Part 2

Anyone know what's up? His illness?

Would be terrible if he cant finish the match. Would love to see him and Federer play.

Doesn't look too good at the moment. Serving is well down (last first serve was 155) and he's well short of power.

Re: 2011 Australian Open - Part 2

Dunno what the problem is, but he's been broken in his first 2 service games, can't be good.

Did Rafa eat some bad curry ?

Re: 2011 Australian Open - Part 2

Done his hammy.

does not look good

Re: 2011 Australian Open - Part 2

It must be a hamstring strain because there's no way you could play with a tear. There's no way he's winning the tournament now though by continuing to play this match it's just going to mean a month on the sidelines after-wards rather than a week or 2.

Re: 2011 Australian Open - Part 2

I know the guy is injured/sick, etc. but honest to God I'm sick of Rafa (and he's my favorite player).

Every time that he loses (even some of his losses to Fed) there is some mystery injury to blame for it. Really. It does my head in.

Re: 2011 Australian Open - Part 2

This is a real shame for the tournament. he looks like he is really struggling. I thought the shame as Todd before, that he was going to retire.

Everyone is going to be scared every time he goes up towards the umpire.

Re: 2011 Australian Open - Part 2

That was a massive choke job from Ferrer. Looked like he was almost about to cry. I'm going to say Nadal doesn't lose another game now.

Re: 2011 Australian Open - Part 2

nadal's not done with yet

its the style of game he plays though, its high maintenance, and is an injury waiting to happen

This is sad... If Ferrer wins, Murray will smash him in the semis.

Re: 2011 Australian Open - Part 2

If Murray wins the semi, Federer will crush him in the Final.

How predictable.

 

[Wickzki]

Re: 2011 Australian Open - Part 2

That was an AWESOME shot.

 

[OzBomber]

Re: 2011 Australian Open - Part 2

If Nadal loses this set I reckon he'll pull the pin.

If he can come back and win, I just don't see how he can beat Murray.

Re: 2011 Australian Open - Part 2

Give up Nadal, for ***** sake!

Re: 2011 Australian Open - Part 2

If Murray wins the semi, Federer will crush him in the Final.

If Federer wins the Final, ... will crush him in ...

(can't really think of anything)

 

[weagles_fan]

I'm sick of the commentators never praising Ferrer and just talking about Nadal.

 

[Dagger5]

Thanks for coming Rafa.

The winner of Fed and Novak will win the title against Murray.

And there's the 2nd set.
