USO R16: Monfils (13) vs. Nadal (3)

[WChiang]

mugfils showing up

What does that mean???

 

[kanamit]

Agreed about Nadal's celebrations being more annoying for some reason. It seems more premeditated.

 

[shadows]

Gotta put those volleys away

 

[zagor]

Nadal breaks,I think he'll go on to win now.

 

[rascaypica]

Vamooooooooooooooooooooooos

 

[mrmo1115]

I think if he can break Monfils, Nadal could win the 2nd set.

No longer a "think" Nadal owns set 2 ... now Nadal shall win this in 4.

 

[Pseudonym]

Roger Rasheed took a shot at Rafa, claiming if you have a legitimate stomach injury, you couldn't play at this level.

Noticed that too.

A little bit suspicious, eh?

 

[dysonlu]

Nadal break. It wasn't a super amazing point but look how Nadal celebrated it...

 

[coyfish]

nooo monfils that slice was flying long /:. Break down monfils

 

[theroleoftheunderdog]

What does that mean???

it means he doesnt keep the ball between the lines

 

[grafselesfan]

Nadal breaks,I think he'll go on to win now.

I havent the faintest idea where that confidence comes from.

 

[VivalaVida]

Nice pump up by Rafa. He was loading up for that fist pump.

 

[Zeppy]

That down the line shot by Monfils seemed so close.

 

[tennisgeek84]

I love Nadal.

 

[Legend of Borg]

Set looks to be Nadal's. Hopefully Monfils continues to fight and maybe his hour will strike.

 

[JoelDali]

I turned down a night session ticket for 60 bux tonight. I'm a jacka$$.

 

[NamRanger]

I havent the faintest idea where that confidence comes from.

It's called believing in victory no matter what. That's what makes Nadal special.

 

[dysonlu]

Sad story.

10 chars.

 

[Zeppy]

That shot looked really close.

 

[zagor]

I havent the faintest idea where that confidence comes from.

I betted money on him,I have to be confident LOL.

Honestly I think Monfils level is dropping,no way he could keep playing as well as he was in the first set and Nadal will gradually improve his own level a bit and take the match.

 

[desmo]

Match quality is slipping now.

 

[theroleoftheunderdog]

that first set was ridiculous quality. no chance they could keep it up

 

[NamRanger]

Holy crap what a rally.

 

[theroleoftheunderdog]

monfils in superman pusher mode, wins a ridiculous rally

 

[Legend of Borg]

That was some rally, and it ends in a break.

 

[shadows]

Epic rally, Monfils breaks back!

 

[Zeppy]

I wonder if the crowd is distracting the players?

 

[zagor]

Ow bloody hell,it's out.Was amazing point though.

 

[flyinghippos101]

man I can't believe Nadal even had a chance to win that.

 

[Mkie7]

Nice comeback!!!!!!!! nice shot Mugfest,,,, or what ever it is.

 

[kanamit]

I though Nadal put that chair umpire on his "no umpire" list.

 

[NamRanger]

monfils in superman pusher mode, wins a ridiculous rally

Superman pusher mode is really frustrating Nadal right now. This is one exciting match.

 

[koopa_troopa]

Down the line was wide open? I guess this commentator thinks it's easy to return a smash.

 

[dysonlu]

The way Monfils ackwardly scrambled to make that very last shot show how dead exhausted he was. Kinda lucky Nadal missed.

 

[Zeppy]

Holy crap what a rally.

Damn it, so espn360 is a few seconds behind everybody else.

 

[pound cat]

Nadal missing the big points. He must be disgusted with himself,

 

[NamRanger]

The way Monfils ackwardly scrambled to make that very last shot show how dead exhausted he was. Kinda lucky Nadal missed.

After that rally I think anyone would be exhausted.

 

[theroleoftheunderdog]

Superman pusher mode is really frustrating Nadal right now. This is one exciting match.

as long as someone is on offense, its all good

 

[RCizzle65]

I though Nadal put that chair umpire on his "no umpire" list.

Guess they didn't give it to him, he did tell both players to speed it up

 

[zagor]

Will Monfils get tired at some point? He's covering more court than Nadal.

 

[Mkie7]

I'm aaaa lovin this!!!!

 

[j0ns]

Some great rallys in this match!

 

[shadows]

These rallies are killing me to watch, I can't even begin to imagine how they'd feel to play

 

[MEAC_ALLAMERICAN]

Will Monfils get tired at some point? He's covering more court than Nadal.

I don't know, but this match looks like it hurts.

 

[jamesblakefan#1]

I don't think Nadal can use lack of fitness as an excuse if he loses tonight. Both guys are killing the ball right now.

 

[NamRanger]

Will Monfils get tired at some point? He's covering more court than Nadal.

I dunno, Nadal is really unloading on his shots right now. He's not looking too fresh either after some of these rallies.

 

[Speranza]

Phenomenal fitness from Monfils on that breakpoint..... He deserved it. It's not as if that's the only point he's been running like a rabbit.

 

[bluetrain4]

Wow! Great rally. These guys can both get so many balls back.

 

[dysonlu]

Are you freaking kidding me?!?!?! This is insane tennis.

 

[JoelDali]

Monfils' girlfriend is hawt.
