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

[Krish872007]

Makes for great troll material though.

Does it? Haven't seen any world-class trolling in a while - can't keep peddling the same W.E. stuff and expect to come up with original material

I think you should quote every single word of his and reply separately as you typically do. And if that's not enough then I suggest you kill him. They should be done with.

If I see **** posting from a pathetic troll then I will correct them.

 

[Spencer Gore]

Anderson's efforts here almost as hopeless as some of Federer's efforts against Nadal at the French.

 

[icedevil0289]

It's not meant to be fair. This is competitive sports.

*shrugs* i guess. i just poor anderson is already getting crapped on, i'm sure he knows he's not the one most people think is slam final worthy.

 

[clayqueen]

Kevin's wife is a Rafa fan.

 

[Tiki-Taka]

Its just a bad look for tennis

He wont ever be seen as the greatest of the sport its more so that its embarrassing to have a european surface specialist win real tennis titles again

It's okay.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Seems harsh!

Seems like a reality check imo.

 

[Red Rick]

Raonic is good. He has at least beaten Rafa twice and has been as high as #3 in the world. Your silly uneducated bias is noted tho.

Raonic is a symptom of a weak era

I am sure you will, your highness.

 

[maxrenn]

No, it was in the second. The first set was very competitive. Second set he started to break down, and it was all over.

Ahh ok thanks, I do indeed have a terrible memory

 

[Krish872007]

The first ever Wimbledon Gents' Champion has risen from the dead to troll this thread. Real "beyond the grave" stuff.

 

[KINGROGER]

Why doesn't he just tap the ball gently over the net if Rafa is so far back? Then pass him.

 

[veroniquem]

Why? It padded Nadal's slam dominance over Fed, didn't it? If you think Federer is a worse player than Anderson, something's up somewhere.

Not in general silly. Just at RG 2008

 

[NoleFam]

How did the umpire not overrule that serve and he's sitting right there in front of it?

 

[abmk]

jeez, what a BH from nadal.

 

[Zara]

Raonic is a symptom of a weak era

Roddick was surely the epitome of the strong era. Oh you are such a tease, RR. Ha ha.

Are you that guy from The Shining? He "corrected" his family with an axe, feel free to do the same to trolls here.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

At least Anderson has been able to breathe in his serving games this set so far.

 

[Fedeonic]

First time Nadal wins the 1st set in a HC final since Doha 2014.

 

[The Green Mile]

Hey, Kevin is doing damage off the short ball in this 2nd set, some more positive signs. 2-2.

 

[icedevil0289]

LMFAO! its funny because its true.

no not really but big surprise you think that.

 

[KINGROGER]

No title from 2003-2007 was as easy as this one.

Weakest AO 06? That Bagdhatis would be smashing today's gen all over the place. Heck, this Nadal might have lost to Davydenko.

 

[abmk]

Anderson holds at 15. Looks better this set.

*shrugs* i guess. i just poor anderson is already getting crapped on, i'm sure he knows he's not the one most people think is slam final worthy.

No one is crapping on Anderson, he is doing a pretty good job of it himself by struggling to hold services games, having more double faults in this final than the whole tournament leading in, horrible misses at the net. Nadal is showing good restraint, and allowing Anderson to beat himself.

 

[ForumMember]

rme and here i thought you were a reasonable nadal fan...lol what a freaking joke and hypocritical.

oh come on.. can you count the numbers of posts here trashing this possible GS of Nadal ? I can indulge in some banter with them..no?

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

What a turn of events. First we discover it's actually Nadal that is Imhotep after that pic from the FO final and now it's actually Nadal that is agent Smith.

 

[Topspin_80]

So did Anderson Beat Nadal on Clay court ??

Hell no!
Nadal won 6/3 6/4
Nadal didn't get broken, then he broke Kevin twice.

 

[PrinceMoron]

I just discovered how to turn the image on my TVs upside down. It actually looks better

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Ahh ok thanks, I do indeed have a terrible memory

Like is for the Thanks, not that you have a terrible memory.

 

[Spencer Gore]

Why doesn't he just tap the ball gently over the net if Rafa is so far back? Then pass him.

Bless. You're new to watching tennis, aren't you? That's the kind of thing my seven year old says.

 

[icedevil0289]

all i know is the same people upset about that someone dare to say nadal's draw was easy are the same people who scream weak era at the top of their lungs, so no not really to me its hypocrisy either way you slice it.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Yes, and wasn't there someone here who was trying to convince us otherwise?

 

[Chanwan]

Very high level from Anderson. Not sure anyone else in the world would have won that set, only GOATDal.

KA won 4 points on Rafa's GOATserve... and iirc had a negative W/UE count.
Impossible for any other player on the planet to win this set vs. Kevin.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

6 points off the Nadal serve. :/

 

[jussumman]

In a way Nadal crushing Anderson here would be ideal, let Anderson know that he doesn't belong on the court with him, and that the only reason he is there, is because no one else was on his side of the draw. A humbling experience.

He got further than Federer

 

[KINGROGER]

Bless. You're new to watching tennis, aren't you? That's the kind of thing my seven year old says.

No, you're new to tennis with your constant garbage posting about 04-07 era. You obviously didn't watch tennis back then.

What would Rafa do against an underarm serve? Scramble forward and play a weak return, then Anderson is in control of the point.

By playing a normal serve, he's letting Rafa moonball it back to the baseline and neutralise the point.

 

[Topspin_80]

Nadal was injured in that final that Wawrinka.
Anderson is not that lucky.

He was not only injured, he also had to deal with a huge blister in his left hand. I remember that very well.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

Yes, and wasn't there someone here who was trying to convince us otherwise?

Of course.

Can't wait for Rafa to expose himself soon as Ultron too.

 

[JRAJ1988]

Why can't Mark Petchey just take all his clothes off and run onto the court?

 

[Omega_7000]

Chris Fowler is getting an orgasm

Oh dear.

 

[Nadalgaenger]

Nah it doesn't hurt. Just don't mention the "weak era" ever again.

Makes Nadal's 2010 draw look like the 12 Labors of Hercules!

 

[Deon Sanders]

Lets not forget that Andy Murray is human garbage like most Brits and created this situation for personal pleasure

 

[Krish872007]

Anderson playing the best tennis of his life, probably set to improve even more by 2018. Next year's AO will decide the True Greatest as everyone will be at their peak, including those returning from injury.

 

[TheFifthSet]

No clay is not sorry I go by the ITF which has determined clay to be an 80s European **** invention

http://www.itftennis.com/technical/courts/other/history.aspx

Stick with what you know. Supporting dopers

What? That article mentions that until the '80s, almost all tennis courts in Spain and Italy are clay...not that clay courts were invented in the '80s.

Who are you referring to? Nadal is my least favourite of the top 4. Always has been. Always will be.

 

[Rafa24]

Winning slam head to head against main rivals. Fed been beaten once too many times by Djoko and Nadal... he's not GOAT.

Yup. Rafa 10-6 against fred and Djoker. Fed. 4-9 against Rafa and Djoker. Djoker 6-5 against those Fed and Rafa.

 

[Talker]

Anderson an error machine, but hanging in there.

 

[NoleFam]

If (when) Nadal wins this title, what is the chance of him getting a fall hardcourt title this year?

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Why can't Mark Petchey just take all his clothes off and run onto the court?

lol Probably saivng that epicness for when Nadal wins.
