If fed didn’t come back in 5th set of Ao it’d be 19 19
No he is a good 5 years younger than fedI didn't realize Rafa was "only 33" (just turned). For some reason I was thinking he was 35. That's not good or the field.
Rafa much more beatable on non clay if it’s not his A game that’s definitely true. That said even still it’s a short list of people that have actually capitalized on that and usually it’s been Fed or Djoker doing it not the rest of the tour.
Me doing the fed fan thing now if fed won some of those finals he was in could have been 25-18....jk sort ofIf fed didn’t come back in 5th set of Ao it’d be 19 19
At least he avoided a probable defeat if not beat down at the hands of Nadal...Djokovic died for this
That "death, taxes and...." joke needs an upgrade.
Nadal's reaction to the second set was telling. Also keep in mind that he (apparently) was on the edge a few months ago, got himself up for this again. Onwards for rafito.
Thiem has time on his side surely, he may need to avoid Nadal in the end (one can only hit so many jumping backhands from shoulder height), but figure it's likely he'll get one of these sometime later.
Nadal always has some doubts in his mind. That was the culmination of a tough clay season for him. He doesn’t always celebrate a FO championship by crying, in his later years anyways.That's a truly hilarious notion!
What a fascinating contest that was.
My liking your post is a not a commentary on your projected longevity.
It is your faultDjokovic died for this
The organizers did not want to deal with his truth bombs.WHERE IS KEN ROSEWALL?
Santoro listing all the years when Nadal won the FO was so awesome.
Tim was gassed after the 2nd or was the Nadal too good?
Anyway congrats the Nadal and his fans
@vive le beau jeu ! On suicide watch
Atleast Tim won a set that is a good sign your time will come

we need a Wimbledon winOk, 12 RG's and 18 slams overall.
Congrats to Rafa and his team.
Now, to real questions.
As a Rafa fan, I don't enjoy his RG titles as much, especially past his 10th.
For some reason, everything past that number doesn't feel special anymore in this regard.
Instead, I would appreciate much more a title in the AUS. Only one there, difficult af.
Or even so, only one, only one title in Wimbledon. More difficult.
But as a fan, I would appreciate them more. That's why I would appreciate also if he would play less and less tournaments, even masters1000 so he could focus more on slams. Thoughts?
That’s true they’ve all blown opportunities.Me doing the fed fan thing now if fed won some of those finals he was in could have been 25-18....jk sort of
It would have been moved if Nadal had to play even 2 days in a row, forget 4. Because then it would be unfair, no ?Another blowout another disappointing final should have moved it to Monday m
I wasn’t here for sets 3 4 and none of 5 until it was 4 1It is your fault
Your memes Wasnt good enough
Yea!absurd how some people here are criticizing Thiem, he had to play 4 days in a row, Djokovic in the SF and there was the clay GOAT waiting the very next day. Literally something impossible to absolve physically. He has the game to compete with Nadal, but there was no way he could last for 5 sets here.
Congrats to Nadal anyway, he was able to maintain an incredible level through the whole match, which is beyond impressive.
I'm interested to see Nadal's run at Wimbledon this year. See if 2018 was an anomaly or if he's "back" on grass. That's my immediate post RG thought.
It wasn’t a factor today. Thiem still looked fresh even in the 4th set. Did you even see the match?
Same.I'm interested to see Nadal's run at Wimbledon this year. See if 2018 was an anomaly or if he's "back" on grass. That's my immediate post RG thought.
I would say more the latter than the former. Thiem probably started to tire by the 4th, but he was better in the 4th than the 3rd, so whatever.Tim was gassed after the 2nd or was the Nadal too good?

A wimbledon win or an AUS win, you only get to choose one.we need a Wimbledon win
Anomaly to me
Come on, this is a huge stretch
Wimbledon!!!A wimbledon win or an AUS win, you only get to choose one.
