up next for rafa: philipp kohlschreiber

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Cmon, Kohly. Keep serving like that

 

[Dutch-Guy]

Rafa,if he somehow wins this match,'ll get taken apart by Murray.

 

[shazbot]

Man..seems Rafa is just moon balling all his backhands back...Come on Rafa

 

[vortex1]

I thought you went to sleep? That is unless you are trolling in your dreams...

Moonball #1

I decided to stick around to see who wins the first set. I can't sleep now, too excited over Ana's win :twisted:

 

[rovex]

I didn't expect Kohli to give rafa problems.

 

[Semi-Pro]

Ana is a sexy goddess <3

 

[iriraz]

No surprise to see Nadal struggling early on.He played two night matches and now he gets his first day match.He`s not used to this conditions yet

 

[Talker]

Rafa,if he somehow wins this match,'ll get taken apart by Murray.

For sure. I was pretty sure it would be Murray-Nadal but Nadal seems a little off today.

 

[abmk]

2 W to 6 UE for nadal

6 W to 3 UE for kohl

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

15-30, cmon Kohly!

 

[CMM]

This is bad. :?

 

[vortex1]

Wow... Rafa... what's with the UE. My 80 year old grandma could make that shot....

 

[DarthFed]

Well this set is done!

god where's your faith?

 

[anticaria]

darn.. rafa's in for a major battle now.. down 1-4..

come on, rafa.. focus focus.. and hold serve!! :???:

peace

 

[abmk]

rafa holds

2-4

 

[vortex1]

2-4. Break this German clown please.

 

[Nadalfan89]

Is Rafa trying to lose? He's playing like a joke.

 

[anticaria]

whew.. sounds like he heard me.. rafa holds for 2-4 in the opener..

1st set's not a total loss yet.. if rafa could only break back..

peace

 

[drakulie]

eh, kohl had already won 3 games in set 1 by the time you posted this ..

I know. But he is so good, I believe he will turn it around and win the set 6-2.

vamos!

 

[Bud]

Nadal in utter crap mode

He stands no chance at a HC title if he continue starting and playing like this.

 

[AtomicForehand]

Is it just me, or has Rafa gotten a couple of bad calls? I was surprised when he didn't challenge a couple of them.

 

[anticaria]

0-40 for the german.. 3 break chances for rafa..

peace

 

[CMM]

Wake up, Rafa! :evil:

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

5-2 Kohly on fire!!!

 

[vortex1]

2-5. Wow. Unreal.

 

[drakulie]

Is Rafa trying to lose? He's playing like a joke.

Only reason he has lost 5 games this set is because of you.

 

[anticaria]

darn.. looks like i got that a tad backwards.. lol

peace

 

[DarthFed]

0-40 for the german.. 3 break chances for rafa..

peace

um that was 40-0

 

[TennisandMusic]

Yeah, ugly match from Nadal so far.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

0-40 for the german.. 3 break chances for rafa..

peace

Say whhhaaaaaa?

it's the umpire agenda against st rafa...:-?

 

[iriraz]

When u play two night matches and coming back the next day for a day match it`s normal for any player to struggle early.Federer also struggled against Llodra early on after playing his first match under the lights

 

[Dutch-Guy]

You can't beat Kohly 7 time in a row lol.

 

[Deleted member 21996]

it's the organizers agenda vs St. rafa...

 

[Speranza]

god where's your faith?

Holmes: Although perhaps rhetorical, there's an irony in the question in itself....

 

[anticaria]

rafa's come back from a 2-5 deficit before.. if anyone can mount a comeback, rafa could..

except rafa's misfiring off the ground a bit too much.. he seems rushed/rattled.. :-?

peace

 

[OddJack]

Even with the usual sneer on his face, he looks angry and irritated today, Nadal

 

[decades]

is this the Rafa tank?

 

[abmk]

oh jeez, what a UE from rafa !

 

[Mustard]

Nadal holds. 5-3 Kohlschreiber.

 

[iriraz]

Win or loose that pink shirt has to go

 

[fps]

nadal just trying to break kohlschreiber's rhythm, make him think about the moment, taking a new racquet, smart.

 

[DarthFed]

Holmes: Although perhaps rhetorical, there's an irony in the question in itself....

Lol speranza you're godlike

 

[abmk]

I know. But he is so good, I believe he will turn it around and win the set 6-2.

vamos!

oh ok

10 chars ...

 

[coloskier]

Have you ever seen Rafa shank so many BH's??? He's almost reached Fed proportions.

 

[anticaria]

rafa holds for 3-5... let's see if he can put some pressure on the german's serve here and get the break back..

peace

 

[DarthFed]

That backhand <3

 

[abmk]

nice return from rafa

30-15 kohl

 

[Bud]

WTF is going on with Nadal? He's missing these shots by 4-5 feet

6-3 Kohly

 

[fps]

come on Kohlschreiber, i could win £6 here!!
