USO Final [1] Nadal vs. [28] Anderson

[heninfan99]

If only Kevin would start hitting DTL like you know who........

happy now?

 

[Paul Harman]

I think the word you are looking for is Exceptional.

No, it's inevitable.

 

[RF-18]

omgggggggggg what an idea. If you're about to lose a point and it's a big point, just take the ball out of your pocket very slyly and have it replayed. GAME CHANGER.

with 500 cameras around that records you. sounds like a good idea

 

[TheAssassin]

Of all the last 10 years this is the one where you get injured, Novak...

 

[bhpower]

Anderson isn't getting enough first serves in at 135 MPH. He should take something off and get it in. Duh!

Exactly , He should go more for angles and effect. Besides serving big consumes your energy faster.

 

[eliars]

Another deuce, another 10 mins.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Deuce on Anderson's service game. Shocking.

 

[Sysyphus]

Deuce in every Anderson service game or whah?

 

[JasonZ]

"He still has two balls"

Oh my god did the commentator really say this minutes ago?

 

[merwy]

Well, BP. Here we are again

 

[Nadalgaenger]

Break coming in 1...2...3...

 

[The Green Mile]

Come on Kevin, it's about time you started to loosen up a bit. DF, and Rafa has BP in this game also.

 

[NBP]

with 500 cameras around that records you. sounds like a good idea

1) a joke 2) umpire and opponent looking at the ball, not you

 

[BeatlesFan]

Why isn't Anderson using the wide serves to draw Rafa off court? His strategy of serving bombs (and getting hardly any in) is pathetic. I can't believe a huge server cannot exploit Nadal's serve position.

 

[heninfan99]

i feel his nervousness

 

[Poisoned Slice]

And there it is. Bamos.

 

[tennis_pro]

Finally Nadal breaks.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Well done Anderson on that service game...

 

[KristaK]

Terrible

 

[Terenigma]

When Anderson tries to approach the net he sort of pauses like he's playing dodgeball and wondering how to dodge and then scrambles to the net like his trousers are falling down. It is absolutely hilarious and awful...

 

[PrinceMoron]

A

I heard Jake Garner announcing one left after Rafa's last challenge.

Who left? Probably a lot of people would like to

 

[The_Order]

Finally Nadal gets the break.

 

[The Green Mile]

Shocker from Kevin, inexperience showing. Hands the break to Nadal.

 

[Fedeonic]

And there goes the match for Anderson...

 

[veroniquem]

Not so fast ,, girl. Anderson almost broke RAFA in that last game.................

Remember the Delpo match? Rafa doesn't care about first set anymore. Give opponent false hopes and then wait for imminent total exhaustion is his new strategy now that his stamina is fully restored

 

[Defcon]

I can't believe people actually said this moron can play - he's a total joke.

 

[junior74]

Merry Christmas, Rafa!

Aaaaaaargh

 

[BeatlesFan]

Anderson will now win 5 more games in the match, total.

 

[NatF]

Finally Anderson breaks himself

 

[La Grande]

Yessssss finally

 

[heninfan99]

Why isn't Anderson using the wide serves to draw Rafa off court? His strategy of serving bombs (and getting hardly any in) is pathetic. I can't believe a huge server cannot exploit Nadal's serve position.

hes nervous as fack, first time on a massive stage, I guess

 

[Spencer Gore]

Brilliant tactical tennis from Nadal. Worthy of Arthur at his best.

 

[TennisATP]

Hopefully Nadal can now relax and play better.

 

[Centre Court]

This match is over, worst ****ing final I have ever watched in my life , I'm outta here . ****E !!!

 

[Djokovic2011]

Don't really understand how you can miss a forehand from there.

 

[Mike Sams]

LOL! This lumbering clown can't keep a ball in the court.

 

[merwy]

How can you miss so many of those short sitters Kevin? Damn it I honestly don't get that from pro players. It's basically all you do in your life and you still miss that? Come on man.. Nadal almost never misses those shots.

 

[jaggy]

That was bad

 

[Rafa24]

Finally a break.

 

[Sysyphus]

Game, set and championship, RAFA

 

[maxrenn]

Finally!

 

[Nostradamus]

Don't count out Anderson.......here....... he lost the 1st set against Carreno-Busta also but still found a way to win.......

 

[Bryan Swartz]

Yikes. Spraying like he did in the first set of the semis. That wasn't a break, it was a donation.

 

[Zodd]

almost sounded like anderson broke the frame on that last fh

 

[BeatlesFan]

Sampras would destroy nadal

On this court with Nadal's court positioning it would be a blow out for Pete. But Anderson is about 1/100,000,000th of the player Sampras was.

 

[icedevil0289]

4 double faults already

 

[Nadalgaenger]

Why isn't Anderson using the wide serves to draw Rafa off court? His strategy of serving bombs (and getting hardly any in) is pathetic. I can't believe a huge server cannot exploit Nadal's serve position.

Because he's just a good, not a great server.

Probably Nadal (and his team) scouted this match well and understood that Anderson Tee serve much better than his wide serves.

 

[Oakel]

Who is Nile? Hoping Novak's blood starts boiling at the end of this match. He cannot let Clay King have more USO titles than him.
Come on Nole, stop making babies for a second and take up the challenge for everyone's excitement !!

Ha typo but it appears he sailed down the Nile this year.

 

[NoleFam]

I saw that coming a mile away. Anderson overhits the easiest sitters which is just baffling and costly. You can't expect to challenge Nadal if you can't make basic 101 shots.

 

[abmk]

utterly crappy game from Anderson. Nadal didn't really do much to break at all.
