Emulating his good friend Roger chokerer.Nadal was the better player for most of this set, 2015'esque capitulation.

2015 he 3-0'd the round robin stage incl. Murray/Wawrinka
And it wasn't even that hard of a pass.Damn even the running FH pass goes long on SP
Raf is well and truly cooked

He makes those in his sleep anywhere else. Can’t blame the bounce on any of his misses really. Just pure mugging up. I’m so madAnd it wasn't even that hard of a pass.
??? Nadal has not been outgunned at all. Felix’s BH in particular has been weak assNadal did screw up there but I feel like Nadal needs help from Felix to win this match. He looks to be too big of a number from the baseline. Nadals groundstrokes aren't doing any sort of damage out there.
If by now they haven't fixed those shots, they never will.Tbh as bad as the next gen are overall there are quite a few of them that are like one very good attribute away from being pretty serious players. Felix with the BH, Zverev with the FH, Tsitsipas with the slice and BH generally which would feed into return quality etc... probably too late for any of those guys especially Zverev with his FH (and Tsits really) to make game changing strides in any of those departments though. If the stroke doesn't come naturally there's quite a low ceiling associated with its maximal development.
Sigh, looks like RAFA was collecting BPs like Thanos and converting them like Ol’ Rog![]()
Zed also lacks a reliable second serve, often decelerating so much he has no spin and control.Tbh as bad as the next gen are overall there are quite a few of them that are like one very good attribute away from being pretty serious players.

Yeah still it's quite unfortunate that the missing piece for a lot of these guys is so obvious yet none of them have been able to fully round out their games. A lot of them do have some level of talent.If by now they haven't fixed those shots, they never will.
Felix will never have a world class BH like Djokovic, Nishikori, Nalbandian, Safin, Davydenko etc.
Also true.A big problem is that often they have no only the technical weaknesses but glaring mental ones too *ahem* Zverev.
You say that just because of the scores.As I said, it was stupid for Nadal to play this tournament,
2009? Paris + WTF. Even lost 8 sets in a row during that stretch.When was the last time Nadal lost four matches in a row?

If things go bad for Rafa, this tournament they better present me good injury excuses, I won’t accept puerile ones.Rusedski making injury excuses for Nadal now lol.

Yes, he did. But that was his worst stretch as of now in terms of matches and sets lost. Won nada.Didn't he win the AO that year also?
In before Djokovic wins it all LOL.These conditions really favor younger players.
if RAFA goes 0-3 and goes home packing ,, will it destroy his confidence for the aussie open 2023 ?![]()
In before Djokovic wins it all LOL.
Now who would do thatBetting people on Twitter are getting so mad with Nadal ahahaha
