[watungga]

In TW term, Nadal choked!!!!

[insideguy]

YESSSSSSSSS the power goes out in Nadalrecords BUNCKER.

 

[JadeC]

Oh my...he actually did it! Congrats!

 

[Steve0904]

Way to go buddy! Proud of him for getting it together after he didn't serve it out.

 

[InspectorRacquet]

Good on Dogopolov for not crumbling after what everyone thought was the win.

 

[Cheetah]

wow. that was crazy.

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Incredible! Such a great moment for Dolgopolov especially given the Ukranian events!

 

[romeo8880]

Dolgo does it! Although Rafa's back was bothering him, a win is a win. Nice job.

 

[jussumman]

They are right, muscle memory and repetitive motion are hallmarks of a champion... like his butt picking and sign of the cross before every serve. Anyway, The Dog takes down The Bull. Nice win.

 

[wy2sl0]

Gonna be soooo tired at work tommorow. Great match, way to go for the Dog.

 

[dParis]

Is Nadal injured?

 

[Winners or Errors]

Nadal, playing that badly, should not win. Good job Dolgopolov! Way to avoid the choke.

I sincerely hope Nadal finds his health. He looked lost out there.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Big blow to Rafa. But happy for my boy Dolgo too.

 

[insideguy]

HAHAHAAH. Rafa just lost 850 points. Its been a decade since he lost prior to semi here. Ya best hardcourt form my ***.

 

[Boom-Boom]

The Bull got owned by the Dog in style

 

[Supertegwyn]

How many points will Nadal lose?
EDIT: Didn't see that guy above me

 

[tennisaddict]

Three cheers to Dolgo. What a way to come back after a bad year.

 

[JanowiczJ]

I wish I possessed 1/100 of dolgo's racquet magic.

 

[purple-n-gold]

Dawg gone it, had to win it twice!

 

[urundai]

Dog wins the chokefest. Looks like no one wants to win IW title

 

[albatros_forehand]

Why are those retired people clapping hands? It was a horrible match.. Especially from Nadal. He was crap. Probably injured

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

I need a highlight replay of that forehand squash retrieve from Dolgo, it rivals Fed's best.

 

[tennisjedi]

Dolgo wins.
Hopefully he doesn't lose in the next round.

 

[Engelworks]

impressive play from the dog that match

 

[Lukhas]

 

[insideguy]

Why are those retired people clapping hands? It was a horrible match.. Especially from Nadal. He was crap. Probably injured

LOL Injured!

 

[DragonBlaze]

Feel a bit bad for Nadal, hope he picks up his play cause he's kinda sucked this year.

You know who I don't feel bad for? Larry Ellison. That guy annoys the heck out of me for no reason whatsoever :lol:.

Congrats to Dolgo and his fans!

 

[alex527]

Sweet 8).

If he hadn't won that last point I would've said it was a conspiracy against him.

 

[WhiskeyEE]

Well I guess there's another D who can trouble Nadal now.

Djokovic
Del Potro
Davydenko
Darcis
Dimitrov
Dolgopolov

Hopefully Dodig, Delbonis, etc. will follow suit.

 

[urundai]

How many points will Nadal lose?
EDIT: Didn't see that guy above me

Most of it. he probably knew it and the RIO title saved some.

 

[ST_spitzertelescope]

So pleased to see him win. Even if he looses after this round, he conquered a huge hurdle - beating rafa in a tournament like this. I expect him to stay at this high level for a long, long time now with this huge confidence boost that proves he really do can do it. He can sustain his level and, keep his serve percentage high. Great stuff.

 

[Vensai]

Congratulations to Dolgopolov. He could have easily choked away after losing that break but he held on in the tiebreak to beat the No. 1 player in the world. What in the world is wrong with Nadal?

 

[moonballs]

Wow what a match!

So the legend that Nadal can't defend a non clay title lives on.

 

[Boom-Boom]

The Dog showed some nerve during the tie-break and on that MP man!

Great winner after havin to deliver a second serve instead of finishing on an ace challenged by Nadal.

 

[3fees]

Nadal almost came back..Dolgo played some of his best tennis, Congrats to Dolgo

Cheers

[Petrus]

Dog: how to play a moonballer.....you moon ball with him

brilliant

 

[Djokovic2011]

I'm in total shock!:shock: I just didn't see that coming AT ALL especially after letting Nadal back into that third set. Great win for Dolgo and I just realised that a certain thread will be getting bumped again very soon lol.

 

[insideguy]

Feel a bit bad for Nadal, hope he picks up his play cause he's kinda sucked this year.

You know who I don't feel bad for? Larry Ellison. That guy annoys the heck out of me for no reason whatsoever :lol:.

Congrats to Dolgo and his fans!

Bugs me to. Probably cause he is a old billonare rafa fanboy with a hot girlfriend.

 

[Terenigma]

Maybe they will start pronouncing his name right after this?

 

[watungga]

LOL Injured!

+1 ROFLMAO!!

 

[Backspin1183]

The better player of the match won.

Both defending champs, Nadal and Sharapova ousted same day.

If anyone thinks this is the beginning of the end for Nadal, you'll be disappointed. He needs a couple of weeks of rest. Then Miami.
