Grand Slam Wimbledon

[LukeParkerno1]

That would teach Rafa to not take 4 hours between points

To be fair I’m all for the womens match it’s the match of the tournament imo

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Think a switch might have flicked for him this tournament.

Well it didn’t tonight was ultra passive

 

[matt_897]

Then it’s Rafa in the semis. Last time they met in Wimbledon was 2014…….

…..and Nick won……

Nadal beat him at Wimby a few years back.

The one where Nick absolutely slaughtered a ball at Rafa

 

[MrBarry]

Garin was incredibly clutch tonight though

Krygios has too many weapons for him, he's a journeyman.

 

[juice t]

Nick now dropping the people's elbow on Nakashima

 

[MrBarry]

Well it didn’t tonight was ultra passive

Challenged by a lower ranked opponent into the 5th set and cranks it up to make it 5-1.

He's not done this sort of stuff before imo.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Garin wont beat Nick he will have too many shots and tricks unlike Demon who's very one dimensional

 

[matt_897]

Krygios has too many weapons for him, he's a journeyman.

That's expecting Nick will come out and play tennis. You never know with him

 

[MrBarry]

Then it’s Rafa in the semis. Last time they met in Wimbledon was 2014…….

…..and Nick won……

Having said that this Nakashima fella is pretty average, hitting balls all over the shop. I think first decent opposition Nick comes up against he loses, but it’ll be a good chance he’ll get to the semis.

He just beat the number 3 seed in 4 sets.

 

[NSWCROW]

See I don’t see him as counter attacking that’s Medvedev though he has a much better serve too.

Just feel Alex needs a shot or two and be prepared to miss

Andre Agassi was a counter-puncher


This guy's just missionary position

Should have hit the lines rather than middle of the court

 

[kozi]

So Nick has a straight sets layup against Garin then some clay court guy to reach a slam final. Must be thinking this tennis caper is pretty easy

 

[deanc]

Lol definitely picking a fight with the ump over of nothing just to fire things up

Yep, love Curious Nick's absurd audacity of challenging a line call, getting it wrong and then bizarrely blaming the umpire, ha, ha...

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Different eras though I just can’t see it being effective nowadays

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hey he won a point from a drop shot

Miracles happen

The clay court guy has won a couple of Wimbledons lol

 

[Pablito]

Disgraceful? I think he’s awful to watch and doesn’t provide any excitement. I’m glad he’s out.

How’s that disgraceful? Because he’s Australian? Oh, right.

Nah because it was an insult with little merit. That "hack" is 23 years old and will be moving back into the top 20 players in the world after doing deep into another grand slam.

Just because he doesn't play the way the casuals like doesn't mean he's a hack.

Honestly who gives a shit that he's an aussie.

 

[Visions]

After tanking at the end of the 4th I thought it was lights out for Nick.

However all credit to him, he really did grind it out in the 5th. Especially considering he was 0-30 in his first service game. Didn't go for winners just for the hell of it, actually crafted points together.

 

[NSWCROW]

Wheels came off for Naka that 5th set

 

[matt_897]

First slam QF in 7 years...

Honestly who gives a s**t that he's an aussie.

He’s not gaining any points from this tournament you know.

 

[Pablito]

Great stuff from Nick. Kept his focus through obvious pain.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Nick won lol

One Aussie through lol

 

[kozi]

Then it’s Rafa in the semis. First time they met in Wimbledon was 2014…….

…..and Nick won……

There haven’t been any boilovers and he took Rafa to multiple tie breaks on the last two slam matches he played against him.

Having said that this Nakashima fella is pretty average, hitting balls all over the shop. I think first decent opposition Nick comes up against he loses, but it’ll be a good chance he’ll get to the semis.

The way his mind works, playing against the top guys there's plenty of excuses if he loses so it's just a free hit. That's when he plays his best tennis and actually knocks them over.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Bet they go over to Ajla v Alize after this then I’ll have to watch Rafa on my device once again
