2019 Indian Wells - ATP Masters 1000 - General Discussion

[True Fanerer]

Challenge you idiot!

 

[Sysyphus]

Exactly - very bizarre. However, Nadal is making him think by still pulling out the 'UGE shots, but overall Karen just seems a bit panicked.

Spreading the court without going completely berserk does seem to be a bit of a foreign concept. Better ballbash down the middle of the court instead.

 

[onyxrose81]

Nadal is saying “beat me” and Khachanov is just shrugging. He has one freaking knee dude.

 

[Boom-Boom]

how coul you not challenge that first serve ?!?!

 

[GFoederer]

This is pathetic honestly from KK.

 

[underground]

lol now he's challenging this clearly out ball.

 

[TheAssassin]

Go home Karen. Just go home...

 

[Deon Sanders]

LOL

USELESS

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

In 21 career retirements, Nishikori has only retired once while up in the scoreboard

There was also another retirement at 1-set all, but the remaining 19 retirements came with Kei down in the scoreboard

 

[underground]

Literally how has KK not won this set, it's baffling.

 

[tennisaddict]

How is Khachanov going to win 3 sets in majors against the big guys ? Mental block big time

 

[AndyM]

Fed is just like play another 2 hours guys I'll be well-rested Mirka happy tonight

 

[-NN-]

Fed is just like play another 2 hours guys I'll be well-rested Mirka happy tonight

oh baby

 

[AceSalvo]

NAdal is going to make Khachanov pay for that drop shot. How dare he when the knee is hurt.

 

[AndyM]

did you just see Nadal limping while he was trying to go for that drop shot fed is going to eat him up he better retire and let khachanov play

 

[NatF]

Even on one leg Nadal still standing so deep to return...

 

[augustobt]

I know they set the Oscar bar low these days but man, what an acting from Nadal.

 

[Tennisgods]

How is Khachanov going to win 3 sets in majors against the big guys ? Mental block big time

Don’t think it’s mental block; as others have said, he’s just managed the match appallingly. Not much court craft...

 

[VaporDude95]

How the hell is nadal still running around and smacking the ball?

 

[jklos]

What is going on?

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

Even on one leg Nadal still standing so deep to return...

The amputation is a lie.

 

[Deon Sanders]

How the hell is nadal still running around and smacking the ball?

Maybe

JUST MAYBE

He isnt injured

 

[jklos]

Tom Foolery.

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

How the hell is nadal still running around and smacking the ball?

1) Humble
2) Warrior

 

[AndyM]

What time is the match with fed tomorrow because they're going to have less than 24 hours to recover

 

[VaporDude95]

Maybe

JUST MAYBE

He isnt injured

Ah so he’s playing that “warrior” card again?

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Look at all the salt going on. Pathetic...

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

The amputation is a lie.

The cake is a lie

 

[augustobt]

One day I won't laugh at this but this day ain't today.

 

[AndyM]

he can't push forward to get drop shots that is going to dink and dunk against him all day I just hope Nadal retires after this losing this set

 

[underground]

Now watch Karen crumble in the ensuing tiebreak.

 

[-NN-]

The cake is a lie

legit hilarious capy items today

 

[AceSalvo]

Dude can't even hit a decent FH on the run. BH and Serve keeping him alive.

 

[jm1980]

LOL these drop shots will make Rafa angry

 

[Deon Sanders]

Look at all the salt going on. Pathetic...

I dont know whats worse. Blatant unsportsmanlike behavior and borderline cheating or next gen

Im leaning towards next gen

 

[VaporDude95]

Karen is pathetic. He should’ve won the set already.

 

[TheAssassin]

He is going to screw up in the tiebreak. Waiting to see the details.

 

[augustobt]

Someone must tell Kachanov that raw power ain't everything, so he better angle a little bit insteadof hitting the ball on the bottom T.

 

[Boom-Boom]

Karen is pathetic. He should’ve won the set already.

not so easy to play against someone on the verge of amputation

 

[-NN-]

not so easy to play against someone on the verge of amputation

They are both on the verge of amputation I just hope that it isn't Thiem who is on the list for Karen. BTW I am clearly confusing amputation for transplant.

 

[AceSalvo]

Someone must tell Kachanov that raw power ain't everything, so he better angle a little bit insteadof hitting the ball on the bottom T.

So he didnt learn that from his previous 5 meetings? Strange.

 

[Deon Sanders]

The odds of Karen winning the upcoming breaker seem somewhere below 0%

 

[augustobt]

Nadal just ran 1.2km in this point. But yeah, knee injured.

 

[LETitBE]

yep bad knee LOL

 

[Nadal_Django]

Wow man, imagine if Rafa on crutches somehow wins this match and then continues to win the tomorrow SF also. The ruins here would be spectacular.

 

[VaporDude95]

Just watch Karen screw up the TB and then nadals “injury” disappear against Fed.

 

[underground]

Trust me though KK wins these points but he's gonna miss a sitter FH on SP.

 

[VaporDude95]

HAHAHA YES SUCH A BAD KNEE

Did you see that running? Lmao

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Wow man, imagine if Rafa on one leg somehow wins this match and then continues to win the tomorrow SF also. The ruins here would be spectacular.

Fed has MONO

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

Wow man, imagine if Rafa on one leg somehow wins this match and then continues to win the tomorrow SF also. The ruins here would be spectacular.

Almost as spectacular as the level of bullsh!t on display.
