Thiem is gassed.
At least Thiem has the greatest grunt of all time (GGOAT).
Whack-huh!
I have a Bojangles a mile from me. It is amazing.
I could go for a couple bo-berry biscuits right now![]()
stan won the first set 6-1 remember against thiem.hes missing at the moment but when they start finding the mark what will nadal do?
Nadal is not Stan. Straight sets.
Their Spicy chicken is where it's at.
SUPREMES!
thiem missed a lot, he didnt against stan
Nadal is not Stan. Straight sets.
I personally think Nadal looks more promising today then he has this whole clay season.
Roland Garros offers him a ton of belief.
VAMOS!
Thiem mashed into the clay with a 6-2 6-2 6-3 victory!
Indeed! Unbelievable that Nadal needs cheating by himself and linesmen to close out the match vs this youngling.
That's terrible.16 winners 19 U/E's and wins in straights so goat
That's terrible.
Wonder what's causing all those UEs this year...

Very disappointed with Nadal's serve! Since past couple of weeks, i've noticed that Rafa has been serving as many as 99.9% of his serves to opponent's BH (be it one-hander or two-hander).
It goes to a point that he serves maybe 1 serve to the FH in an entire set(& sometimes not even that). As a result, his serve has become TOO predictable.
I have noticed that his opponents start moving towards their BH side, as soon as Rafa tosses the ball up. Most noticeable was Murray in the Rome match.
What happens is, that Rafa doesn't get much advantage with his serve, and it's almost like starting a rally from a neutral position. That's why he has been getting broken way more often in this Clay season.
He needs to mix it up a lot more, and not just serve towards the BH like a programmed robot.
Also the power in his shots is somewhat missing. It's kind of weird, because he is one of the fittest player on the tour, & yet the average speed of his shots has been lesser than almost all of his opponents, this season.
Needs to serve better, and impart more power to his shots. Hopefully he'll get there.
Nadal was ok with brilliant moments. He was happy about his level of play in the oncourt interview. He's not quite there yet, but this should be more than enough to make it to the quarters with pretty much no effort.

When did Rafa switch back to his Nike Air shoes?
Agreed - that was something I was saying a few backs - serve is weak and predictable. hence Djoko simply goes to town on him with returns - Rafa will get away with it against weaker players but Djoko will eat up his serve.
...as people say every year, then Djokovic loses to him.
He had 12 U/E's, not 19.

Nadal in three easy sets. Maybe a bakery product or two in the mix.
Let's get this hype train derailed.
