Maybe Lendl could have advised him to get dental work done, before it was too late. Alas.

Federer Pony Boy Birdman Brexiteer

This kid is sick. Why would anyone not like this?

Oooh sloppiness from the kid. Robredo showing his veteran chops.

I'm sad I've never seen this kid play before (luckily missing him beat my favorite player at Wimbledon), but happy to see him for the first time. This guy is just tooling Robredo - no chump at all. Go Kyrgios!

I haven't posted on these boards in a long, long time but I came back on here just for the purpose of posting in a thread like this. This kid is amazing. I haven't been this impressed since about 10 years ago when young Nadal hit the scene. Future is bright for Kyrgios, his game is exciting...

I feel like I've covered at least one of those bases with a vague and, perhaps, begrudging congratulations in regards to the US Open win, but I may be mistaken. Then again, there's no fun in kicking a man when he's up, is there? [For the record, I'm glad Murray's feeling better now and back...

Nothing's going right for the ol' Ostrich of Dunblane, is it? No worries, chaps - IW-Miami double is ripe for the taking for the Muzz.

Not going to lie. Totally giggled like a schoolkid at "Anals of tennis history".

I skipped over those details for the sake of not adding to the madness and flaming overtaking these boards at the moment. I'm only trying to answer the OP's question about Nadal fan support. I only brought up Fed and Djoker to show how much their fans support them even when others accuse them...

The Federer reference was a call to compassion for Nadal, not to sh*t on Fed. I got my ******* (cowboy) hat on, too, no need to attack me, bud. And the fact that you got defensive about my comment should prove my point, too, about the perspective of a fan vs. hater.

He never seemed to have world #3 major champion written all over him, but he always gave Murray trouble so he is something special, for sure.

Pretty impressive for a clay-court specialist.

My personal answer is no. If any Fed fans want to know how this unwavering support feels like, think of Federer v. Davydenko and a well-time washroom break. Djokovic's MTO at the 2011 USO is another fine example. These things happen, fans don't see these things the same way as non-fans and...

Let's further your hypothesis with; and he beats Nadal in a grand slam. Discontent will quickly turn to TT's new hero and what you call "annoying" and "suspicious" will be endearing to many. (Disclaimer: before anyone accuses me of this - I am not equating Stan with this at all. Instead, I'm...

Still gutted about the booing...

He did skip it last year and go on a injury-free tear for most of the rest of the year.

Awesome Li

Tiger? Tiger Woods?

I'm a Nadal fan, but.... well done :)

Voted Nadal in 4. Pragmatic, but really hoping for a 5 set-thriller. Haven't seen a real Fedal classic since AO 2009 final...

Indeed. His bloodlust in insatiable. His ruthless tactics deplorable. His opponent's humiliation hilarious.

Sir batz, how are you? You know, I almost fell off the barstool when I, mistakenly, read your avatar to say "Keep Calm and Suppress Andy Murray". I was so ready to officially initiate you into the brotherhood. Alas.

The guy hasn't won a slam in 2 years. His game was "becoming very passive". It's definitely become passive now, especially against top-level players who step it up. Contrast that to 2011 where even players playing their best aggressive game would still lose to Djokovic at all levels. You'd be...

Got all my fingers crossed for Uncle Frederer to straight falcon punch this bottom-feeding catfish right out of the draw.

I don't know how serious or sarcastic this thread is but just think back to when Federer came on to the scene the bounty of comparisons to former greats such as Sampras, Edberg, etc, etc. Nadal, on the other hand, has not only had no equals (style-wise) since he's been on the scene, but none...

Djkovoic should definitely stick with Becker. Yeah. That'd be nice.

This just confirms what the US Open result already illustrated; that Nadal is the best player in the world right now. Snatching a WTF title this year would put a huge stamp of authority on his world #1 status.

He leads him 2-1 on green clay, so yes.

Nadal has made the final of the last 5 hardcourt tournaments he has entered in. Nice.
