Thanks very much, Mainad! Did not know that.

A great final on clay? Is that a thing?

It was when Djokovic was in peak form and he was able to challenge Nadal.

 

[Atennisone]

It's 0-15, come on Kei

 

[flyingboris]

Ninja playing in the shadows, clever

 

[Krish872007]

Nishi holds for a 5-4 lead and Sasha must now serve to stay in it. I do wonder if Nishi pulls this off he will have enough left in the tank to handle Rafa? I doubt it's gonna be 2014 Madrid all over again.

He might be able to handle Rafa for 2 games. Totally different scenario this year with Nadal in better form and Kei just about rounding into form. Court probably favours Nadal more than Madrid.

 

[Atennisone]

Come on!!!! 0-30

 

[helixx]

0:30 lets go

btw i didnt hear it from Z today yet

 

[Steve0904]

Come on Special Kei.

Someone has to crack soon

It's happening.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Nice bit of luck.

 

[heninfan99]

old prodigy mode activated

 

[flyingboris]

That shot was about 0.5mm away from giving Nishi three match points

 

[Steve0904]

Super lucky there.

 

[cc0509]

So your telling me he will win more than 1 GS? That's your prediction?

I believe so. I think he needs to get a new coach though.

 

[Atennisone]

Zedbot 30-30

What a dropper at this point of time and followed by monster kicker of the serve.

 

[heninfan99]

It's happening.

[Atennisone]

0-30 to 40-30

 

[heninfan99]

even his father looks like an aye hole

 

[Atennisone]

It's deuce, Kei has to win now

 

[helixx]

deuce

 

[Legend of Borg]

this final is gonna be a formality

so disappointing

 

[Atennisone]

Match Point come on now

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Tasty.

 

[helixx]

[heninfan99]

z rev finally looks winded

Goodness.. what a match. This Monte Carlo masters will make a Man out of Boy Zverev. He has toiled so hard. Have shown lot of character.

 

[Steve0904]

Straight at him. Fair play. Nishi wins.

 

[helixx]

finally! so happy

 

[Red Rick]

I have a tiny little reason to love life again

 

[Deleted member 3771]

Ninja activates Lendl mode. Love it.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Z goes down. Maybe nishi will have a walkover just to not get embarrassed tomorrow lol.

 

[Atennisone]

YEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!!! What an amzing final it will be

 

[cc0509]

Oh dear.

Well, let's see what Nishikori can do vs Nadal. He'll probably retire mid-match due to some injury.

 

[Pagoo]

Will Kei really take the court tomorrow?

Good win and week for him.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

YEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!!! What an amzing final it will be

Hope that was sarcasm on your part

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Mentally and physically healthier and the more handsome and charismatic player won.

 

[Legend of Borg]

love the nishi angles on that backhand, it looks so deadly when it's on

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Oh dear.

Well, let's see what Nishikori can do vs Nadal. He'll probably retire mid-match due to some injury.

Zverev would have gotten destroyed as well. It doesn't matter to this point.

 

[heninfan99]

we win!!!

...but play Nadal 2morrow

 

[George Turner]

I think i'm going to give this final a miss

 

[Plamen1234]

Oh dear.

Well, let's see what Nishikori can do vs Nadal. He'll probably retire mid-match due to some injury.

That match will be thriller.6-3,6-3 - you know for whom

 

[Mainad]

Thanks very much, Mainad! Did not know that.

Always a useful site to keep handy!

Lmao

 

[ACE of Hearts]

That match will be thriller.6-3,6-3 - you know for whom

6 games for nishikori would be a victory.

 

[mightyjeditribble]

Congrats to Kei. Would have preferred Zverev to win, but it's good to see Nishikori back in a Masters final.

 

[Atennisone]

Hope that was sarcasm on your part

Yeah 50% was

 

[Deleted member 756486]

Happy that Z lost but sad that Rafa won’t get to destroy him.

 

[Steve0904]

Oh dear.

Well, let's see what Nishikori can do vs Nadal. He'll probably retire mid-match due to some injury.

Yeah probably, but it's not like the older players are going to roll over for the younger ones. And Zverev can't be going 3 sets with every Tom, Dick, and Harry in the draw and expect to not get burned eventually.

 

[Sysyphus]

remember remember Madrid 2014

 

[albertobra]

Happy that Z lost but sad that Rafa won’t get to destroy him.

LOL you are terrible!!!!
