He has to hold three more times and the occasion could get to him, we will see.

There goes Nadal's Wimbledon. Oh well.
Murray/Djokovic winner will win the tournament I feel.
Good chance for Fed too.

Nadal normally doesn't have any problem with that sort of balls, he's famous for being able to scoop up spinny full western forehands from the ground.
Oh hey, Kyrgios up a break now.

If you had an ounce of self esteem, you should abstain from posting for a month for all the cockiness you showed in this thread...

If Kyrgios pulls this out, Fed better send him half of his winner's check.

I am also about 5'10, and my first serve is far from effortless lol. I really kind of muscle the serve, haven't found a way to get a good flowing motion yet. I use the Roddick abbreviated motion, might be a problem for me. And yeah, the second serves also take a lot out of me. I serve with an Eastern Backhand grip now on my second serves (for easier spin) so I have to swing really hard to get any sort of pace on the ball.

not surprised at the results at all. nadal is not a natural grass court player, and is clearly struggling.

Kyrgios drops the cross court forehand in and leads 4-1. The boy is breaking Nadal's will but it's NOT over yet. We're talking about a guy (Nadal) who is the most likely player to even this set and seize back control.
Going to try not to get excited until it's over.

updated with this ..
"Nadal is quite clearly a better fighter than murray, but I'd back murray to come back from this more than nadal just because of his RoS
let's see"
no dude, but it affects the timing of the returner. Nadal have less time to prepare and hit his strokes, therefore he can't generate as much spin.
Also, he usually plays 3 meters behind the baseline, on grass he needs to play close to the baseline and shorten up his strokes in order to have a chance.
That's even less time to do his uppercut forehand at usual speed and power.
oh, and I doubt you can really see/calculate how much the ball is sniping before it bounces. We notice the Spin by the RHS, the sound generated after contact plus how the ball bounces after hitting the ground.
So your post was flawed anyways.

This is good for the sport! Also good check for fans. Maybe next time we will be more careful when putting our convictions in one player!

Come on, the match is not over. Kyrg needs to hold twice more . He will be tight naturally and Nadal is going to go all out to break him.

Board has gone dead silent as Fed fans are deep, deep in prayer. Thankfully, there are two players that can challenge Federer as opposed to pre-2011. Should still be a exciting tournament.

Just now you're saying "Rafa and grass"? I thought Nadal was guaranteed to win the title if he got to the 2nd week? Don't use this now vero.
