Millman was a good to start w for Rafa who hasnt been great on grass for years.
Young will be a nice match round 2, can trouble Rafa more. But Rafa should have this is straights.

Well ... I have seen young two times ....he doesn't have any weapons which can harm Nadal. So nadal in 3 easliy.

Think Young might sneak a set here, Rafa in 4.
Posters here are too confident about Rafa, Millman was a bit pathetic on Monday.

Yh you could be right. That was just one match. I hope for an easy 3 set victory but it might not be that way.

I said Nadal in 3, have not seen Young lately, it's based on how Rafa looked two days ago.

The thing about Young is that he actually doesn't play high risk games..... he doesn't hold intensity for long ....plus his second serves aren't that great .....sadly his first serves are good .... but i don't see an upset possible ..... I'm scared of kachanov
Khachanov lost sets 6-2 and 6-1 in the first round. If Nadal can play well we should always beat him. But that's a big if.

It would be pretty amazing if Young can snatch a set, let alone the match.

I seriously was searching for this in the first first match ( but it was millman with a not so great first serve) ...... but do you think he has changed anything while returning the ball ? .....just curious ..... I saw a video where his partner was actually serving from inside the baseline ( a foot or two inside ) .....let me know if you guys find something interesting .... today we have a good server .

I'm thinking 6-3, 6-1, 6-2.
Everything above 6 games should be considered bonus.

Think it will be closer than that. No bakeries due to better serving from Young

This is not clay, and Young has played very well on grass this summer, it will be closer.

Pretty good highlights from the R1 match. Flashy winners off both wings and dropshots on display balanced out a bit by a horrendous smash lol.
Millman was actually moving well with decent FH. His problems were he wasn't serving well, didn't have any weapon to even remotely attack Rafa while Rafa was just moving around smoothly and comfortably testing almost every shot (and making more UEs than Millman in the process).
Hopefully Young will test him more today, especially his ROS, volley and of course passing shot. Hope to see more aces, more aggressive return and shorter points from Rafa. Also BHCC exchange should be fun.

I have little faith in Young to keep this serving form going here against Rafa, but we will see. Not really convinced that a decent serving Young would trouble Rafa much either.

Well, well, well, if Rafa gets through The Donald and Karen, we might see a Rafa -Rosol match. Interesting

I just realized there are two threads, and I've posted in both. What one are we using? The other one has many more posts.

Karen is down a set and a break. Rosol playing head to toe w Muller, Rosol looks slightly stronger.
I hope for Rafa Rosol and not Muller (but I need Muller to win now for my Sudden Death league)
Do you prefer Rosol or Muller?
I cheer for young guns, so I hope Karen wins even though he is a tougher opponent should think than Monteiro
edit- Karen breaks back, even steven 2 set

Yh I mean it's more due to Rosols style. I don't like seeing Rafa up against players like that. He just doesn't look comfortable.

Nothing against Donald, but he's been pretty pathetic too throughout his career in majors. He's never made it past the second round at Wimbledon. Nadal should absolutely blister him even if he's only playing so-so.
