up next for rafa: philipp kohlschreiber

[Semi-Pro]

Lol speranza you're godlike

If I'm not mistaken, you are speaking to Homles, who is just using Speranza's account!

 

[TennisandMusic]

Wow, that is simply abysmal from Nadal.

 

[Mustard]

6-3 Kohlschreiber.

 

[coloskier]

1st set to Kohlschreiber, 6-3, and it wasn't even that close.

 

[The-Champ]

i hope its a straight sets win for kohly...

 

[abmk]

6-3 kohl ...

unless rafa raises his game, he's in big trouble, kohl looks like a man on a mission !

[Nadalfan89]

20-1 odds my ass. You better not lose me money, Nadal. Send this kraut back across the Rhine.

 

[anticaria]

what's with all these ridiculous mishits from rafa's racquet? :???:

first set's history..

peace

 

[drakulie]

It is obvoius Nadal is tired from all the tennis he has played this week.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Nadal really hasn't won a big match on HC in a while, has he?

Kohl playing great, though

 

[DarthFed]

If I'm not mistaken, you are speaking to Homles, who is just using Speranza's account!

Oh....thats true isnt it D:

And nice, Kohli takes the first set, now things will be interesting.

5 w.......10 ue

He must have ate what murray had yesterday

 

[tennisdad65]

nadal has won all the points (1/1) in this set, when he goes to the net confirming what everyone here says.. he has the best volleys in the game..

 

[meg0529]

Win or loose that pink shirt has to go

Agreed! Rafa looking like cotton candy, will win USO!

 

[Bud]

Nadal really hasn't won a big match on HC in a while, has he?

Kohl playing great, though

Kohl is playing solid tennis but Nadal has been abysmal

 

[Deleted member 21996]

Wow, that is simply abysmal from Nadal.

yes... nothing to do with Philip....

 

[TennisandMusic]

i hope its a straight sets win for kohly...

I was actually thinking it would be better if Nadal lost earlier than to go deep in these masters, but losing to Kohls is a little embarrassing.

 

[Blinkism]

Nadal's just being plain silly now.

 

[MichaelNadal]

This is gonna be a fast loss for Nadal

 

[Underhand]

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

What about not using that crap Courier font, *******?

 

[Semi-Pro]

Nadal lost the first set because there wasn't enough 'VAMOS', I'm sure drakulie can attest to this.

 

[abmk]

nice FH from kohl !

 

[drakulie]

nadal has won all the points (1/1) in this set, when he goes to the net confirming what everyone here says.. he has the best volleys in the game..

vamos!!!!!!!!

 

[Bud]

This reminds me of that Cilic match in Beijing where he was just blown off the court

 

[Deleted member 21996]

[mandy01]

This.Case closed.

 

[Bud]

Nadal's just being plain silly now.

You're not at the match today?

 

[Speranza]

If I'm not mistaken, you are speaking to Homles, who is just using Speranza's account!

Holmes: Precisely! So someone has noticed this finally! Thank you dearly semi-pro. That said, I feel more than happy to let Speranza receive any acclaim awarded to him by Darth or any other member. After all, without him, we'd not be posting here.

Watson: And I'd imagine so many would be happier if we weren't posting here Holmes.

[Mustard]

Nadal holds, 1-0.

 

[The-Champ]

I'll rather he loses to kohl than Murray

 

[Dutch-Guy]

Nadal holds 1-0. Good start.Now let's see if he can break Kholy.

 

[anticaria]

rafa holds easily to open the 2nd set..

whew.. he needed that badly..

peace

 

[drakulie]

Nadal lost the first set because there wasn't enough 'VAMOS', I'm sure drakulie can attest to this.

Exactly.

Vamos Rafa!! Go to the net more. You are 100% today at net, and are GOAT volleyer, no?

Vamos!

 

[CMM]

It must be the curse of the pink shirt.

 

[Blinkism]

You're not at the match today?

No, but I will be there tomorrow. It'd be nice if Nadal made it through, but, at the moment, he's being silly.

 

[Telepatic]

Just tuned in, anyone not lazy to summarize?

 

[P_Agony]

Nadal smells blood now.

[DarthFed]

Rafa being Eh

Kohli being solid

Well thats the first set...atm....0-30 on Kohli's serve

 

[Dutch-Guy]

I'd rather see Nadal losing to Kohly than to Murray.Then again losing to Kohly(looks like it's going to be in straights) is just (fill in the blank).

 

[anticaria]

3 break chances for rafa comign up..

peace

 

[abmk]

3 BPs .........

 

[Mustard]

Just tuned in, anyone not lazy to summarize?

Kohlschreiber blew Nadal off the court in the first set to win it 6-3.

Nadal now has 3 BPs at 1-0 up in the second set.
