Murray doesn't like it.

Plastic 2020s peeps mock facial hair as an ancient 1970s porn star stigma when more dudes today do full chin pillows than ever before. Even halfway back to Ron Jeremy there was newscaster Ron Burgundy and then these two guys fully clothed:

 

[junior74]

Will try my best, no?

 

[weakera]

Rafa shouldn't lose more than 7 games

 

[The Big Foe fan]

6-2 6-2 6-0 capy bara

 

[Winners or Errors]

Even a hobbled Nadal should win this match. If he's not limping, straight set beatdown.

 

[Soul_Evisceration]

Anything other than Nadal in 3 Sets would be a shocker even with current form Nadal.

It's not an interesting matchup, so the thread for this match is useless!

 

[Enceladus]

@threehandedbackhand, match thread should be created only for an interesting matchup composition, creating a match thread for every match of Big 3 member with an outsider is useless, on this we have a tournament thread / general discussion.

So this thread is perfect as Nadal vs Thompson is a very interesting matchup composition.

Thompson will lose.

His job will be to soften up The vulture for the latter rounds

@TennisFan3 @_phantom
On Monday after Krejcikova before Djokovic.

By the way, is there a chance that the potential Nadal vs. Djokovic quarter-final showdown won't be played in the night session?

No chance. If such a match takes place it will be played in the night session.

“I know Jordan. He very nice guy, no? I see him box kangaroo one time so I know he be ready to fight.”

Jordan 'tache is direct snub to thinning pate of Bull's Head (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull's_Head)

Psycholgical war has begun: Jordan to take the first set, and after that... yeah, after that, hmm problems...

I wouldn't say it's a guarantee but more likely

Win or lose, Jordan wins... . He could go home and cry on this very shoulder...

Are you sure her shoulder is where he gonna cry on? @ForehandRF

Didn’t they split up earlier this year? I don’t follow the wag scene so the latest info I see is Britany acknowledged their split in February. Was there a reconciliation? I wouldn’t blame him if so!

Oh, no... They did split up... I am a bit rusty on my goss ... Well, there will be another shoulder, possibly even purdier

 

[ForehandRF]

Are you sure her shoulder is where he gonna cry on? @ForehandRF

 

[dapchai]

Too bad they broke up earlier this year But I'm pretty sure he's found another non-shoulder to cry on

 

[NeutralFan]

Is it me or bounce looks really low this year at PC ?@ADuck son , sign of concern for Rafa at RG ?

 

[Standaa]

Thompson what a handsome man

 

[MichaelNadal]

Nadals jacket and colors are epic af

 

[Standaa]

these commentators are so cautious with their statements it's ridiculous.. arguably the greatest RG player? arguably?

 

[ADuck]

Nice to see Rafa supporting Australia

 

[MichaelNadal]

I want bakery products

 

[dapchai]

2019 kit color pattern.

 

[ttwreader]

Roast geese or breadsticks are not bad.

 

[Beerus]

Let's see how the King of Clay plays.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Good passing shot by Jordan

 

[spottishwood]

I want bakery products

You want Thompson to be the next Gulbis?

 

[TheNachoMan]

They saw Griekspoor’s performance yesterday.

 

[Beerus]

Remember guys. The statue is cursed.

 

[TheNachoMan]

Remember guys. The statue is cursed.

Statues aren’t very humble. So the universe is off balance while Nadal plays at RG.

 

[dapchai]

Weak FH from Rafa so far.

 

[Frenchy-Player]

Nadal vs Borat.

 

[TheNachoMan]

Good passing shot by Jordan

Are you rooting for your countryman?

 

[Kralingen]

Man that kit just ain’t it, sorry. Nike has dropped the ball this RG massively.

 

[Nadal15thslam]

Not a very good start. This Rg might be for Carlitos.

 

[Beerus]

@StrongRule

Join the match thread.

 

[TheNachoMan]

Not a very good start. This Rg might be for Carlitos.

You mean Griekspoor?
