Round 2: Rafael Nadal(ESP) [1] vs Ryan Sweeting (USA)

[meg0529]

**** in 3.


He will be playing the second match of the day at Rod Laver.

Vamos

 

[Bud]

If Rafa drops more than 2 games to this guy, I might go into depression. In any case **** in 3.

Vamos

Rafa can be vulnerable to huge servers on grass and HC. However, Sweeting can't serve very well from what I've heard. Therefore, can't see any threat whatsoever.

He will.

I'll LOL hard if he meets homeboy tomic in the next rounds. Hopefully Lopez got a good shave and is in top form.

The Lopez/Tomic match will be a slicer's heaven

 

[Blinkism]

I want to see that USO serve back again. That was most excellent.

 

[meg0529]

He will.

I meant service games!

 

[Cesc Fabregas]

A Tomic Nadal match would be hilarious. Tomic would just give Nadal forehand hitting pratice in the middle of the court.

I'm really hoping he won't. I would like Rafa to get some good matches in before he reaches the 4th round. I expect his 4, Q, S opponents to be really tough. He needs to get into a rhythm. Can't show up against Cilic having played mediocre matches.

Yes, haha, wouldn't be surprised to see Lopez journeyman losing to him too.

Would he play like he did vs. simon 09 AO or how he just runs monfils into the ground by controlling play with the fearhand? Want to see tomic play for a full set.

 

[Lefty5]

Nads will be toyed with, Sweeting shocks the world. Sweeting FTW!

 

[Sentinel]

If Rafa drops more than 2 service games to this guy, I might go into depression. In any case **** in 3.

Hafa/Ralph/Parrera in 3.

Don't expect anything tough till the Q or SF.

 

[abraxas21]

Sweeting is the heavy fave here. Can't see him losing against Nadal.

Ryan in 3 easy sets

 

[shadows]

Walkover .

 

[Telepatic]

Rafa like sweets, no?

 

[sureshs]

Sweetthing in 3

 

[dandelion_smiley]

Where's Tweeting in 5? My pick

 

[TBrady]

Cmon Sweeting here is your breakthrough oppurtunity.

 

[bluescreen]

i'm pullin' for the kid, but i'm feelin' rafa in 3 easy ones.

 

[dlk]

i'm pullin' for the kid, but i'm feelin' rafa in 3 easy ones.

Same here.

 

[joeri888]

Hope Ryan does a decent job. Rafa won't lose more than a game or 4/5.

 

[Tennis sensation]

Nadal in 3

 

[Murrayfan31]

Sweeting in 3 obviously.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Rafito in 3. Who's bad?

[Legend of Borg]

As long as Hafa's opponent actually wins a game this time, I might be tempted to watch.

I was left with a sour taste after that Daniels debacle.

That wasn't a match, so much as practice.

 

[cucio]

Creampuff 2nd round for Rafa, while Roger had to battle past dangerous Simon Le Bon. All rigged. :twisted:

 

[Legend of Borg]

He faces the future top 5 player Tomic, in the 3rd round so I pity poor Rafa.

May Tio Toni watch over him.

 

[Tchocky]

Do we even need a thread for this match? I think the result is pretty obvious. I'm putting all my chips on Rafa to win in straight sets.

 

[statto]

Sorry to be boring, but Rafa in three.

 

[Dwight Schrute]

I know a guy named Ryan, the TEMP. God what a loser he was. Rafa will beat him in 3 gory sets of pain.

 

[CCNM]

How does that old song go? "All (Ryan S) needs is a miracle...."

The guy was hurt, wasn't much he could do really.

 

[Messarger]

Guys, how long till this match starts?

[Legend of Borg]

Anyone else fall asleep only to wake up in a shock two hours later and realize the tennis has started?

I really hate burning the midnight oil sometimes.

[john5527]

Sweeting is being thrown to the wolves. LOL

 

[meg0529]

Yes they are out, warming up.

 

[Mustard]

Vamos Rafa :twisted:

 

[Legend of Borg]

He's 196cm. and yet he has a bad serve?

 

[West Coast Ace]

2, 2, and 4 for Rafa.

 

[meg0529]

I want to see the USO serve

 

[Bud]

I want to see the USO serve

Yeah, wonder why he hasn't brought that serve back to the table

 

[ark_28]

Hi mate really looking forward to the match! you seen much of Sweeting read about him but first time I am seeing him play hope we see Rafa unleash the beast (serve)
