Wimbledon 2014

9pm AEDT start with Bouchard. Then Djoker. So probably not going to see Nick in action until around 2am AEDT. So a bit later.

Crap. Okay new plan - early to bed and then wake up for the game.

 

[Paranoid]

Only behind Lleyton Hewitt now isn't he?

Matosevic at 55 but Nick will overtake both when he wins the tournament!

Works for me, I finish work at 2 AM, so it looks like I won't miss the match tomorrow.

The way Kyrgios was just nailing that chalk in the final set was incredible. Ended up serving 25 out of 27 first serves in, in that set, and they were fast and often right on the chalk. The way he seems to pull out just what is needed when the pressure goes on, so clutch. What an absolute gun. Exciting times.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Such a calm individual even in post match interviews after beating Nadal

 

[bato]

He'll have to be prepared for a 5-set serving marathon against Raonic tomorrow. Will be a tougher match than Rafa.

Yep. That's what I'm thinking.

 

[The_Todd07]

Been watching the World Cup and until this second its not been that interesting
Shattered I missed this match but my jet lag and no world cup games means I'm not missing tomorrows match

 

[BloodRet]

Argentina just stole the victory over on sbs. Luckily I dont think i would have had enough nails to chew for it to be a shootout. I'm hitting the hay, worth staying up. **** yeah.

Was Lleyton the last Australian to beat Rafa?

 

[JP Sauce]

"Nick Kyrgios has rolled the great Rafa Nadal, thus becoming the first player from outside the top 100 to beat the world No. 1 in a grand slam in 22 YEARS."

Guccione

Thanks Matt.

 

[Kaan]

Tonight's the night! I sense an upset! It would be incredible!
C'mon Nick - Ελα Νικο!!

What are the lottery numbers?

 

[pepsi]

Guccione

For real? That is unbelievable.

Still so pumped. Happiest I've been watching tennis since the 2009 US Open.

 

[Nightowl]

Awesome effort Nick. loved it.

Yep just had a look 2007 in Sydney Nadal retired.

I wonder if Bernard watched that and if it might make him pull his finger out?? I won't hold hopes of that happening.

He's had so much given to him on a silver plate for a long while because TA were desperate for another top level player. It will be very interesting to see where things go for him from here.

 

[Neese]

Still too excited to sleep
Nice sharing it with you all

Look at the matchup against Raonic for one minute, it's a tough one, arguably tougher than Nadal but Nick won't have time against Milos. The straight sets loss in paris showed this. Going to be incredibly difficult to come out and back it up so expectations from me won't be too high (well, I mean that's what my brain is saying) but looking forward to the media circus to come out tomorrow.

No not arguably tougher than Nadal.

 

[Manimal_Dunstan]

Interesting that both Kygrios and Tomic at age 19 have made the QF at Wimbledon.

 

[matt_897]

No not arguably tougher than Nadal.

Nadal, as incredibly tough as he is, allows Nick the chance to be able to go for his shots, Milos won't give him that time. Just think about the matchup for a sec.

 

[Kaan]

Who thinks he will beat Raonic?

If he serves like this I can't see how he wont.
