Wimbledon 2014 R128: Martin Klizan vs Rafael Nadal [2]

[topher]

Klizan's not folding. Happy Rafa had 2 breaks (now 1)to win this set with. Need to hold here!

Kind of. He was being smart earlier even when he was taking cuts. Now he's just ripping the first thing that comes onto his FH side and missing. Probably because he's behind as you mentioned.

I think that's what I was trying to say. Before they were hit with purpose, now they're more likely to be desperate. Might be tired as well. Rafa's shots may be slightly deeper. Probably a combination. He's coming back now it seems, we'll see how long.

 

[The_Order]

Klizan gets one of the breaks back.

But will you post if Nadal breaks again?

 

[Djokovic2011]

But will you post if Nadal breaks again?

That was just to counter Mustard's Rafa adoration. :wink:

 

[Magnus]

Fed took a bathroom break after set was over. Nadal takes them right before the last game of the match.

 

[irishnadalfan1983]

More like when I was 6/7 years of age and I am watching my fav football team and nothing else matters.

Now I am 31 and have to deal with life, ups and downs, etc. but I feel like I am 6/7 when i am watching Rafa again - I can switch off from life and just enjoy the tennis!

Djoko2011 is a good poster. He praised Rafa's game at the beginning of the thread. He's honest, not a troll.

 

[malbaker86]

It's crazy how much "tension" of whatever you wanna describe it as that Rafa early round matches at Wimbledon gives you.

Exactly. I'm not thinking about any of my problems right now, sports are an escape.

So when will you counter your Rafa hatred?

 

[Down_the_line]

I think Nadal's got this. You can tell Klizan is going to fight tooth and nail but he doesn't have that same sort of swagger Rosol had and Nadal is playing better against him than he played against Darcis.

Rafa didn't fight at all against Darcis. I think it's because the court was too slippery.

Merci vero, c'est tres gentil a ta part.

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

LOL. Some high and mighty tones are entering the thread now.

Reminds me of people having to be indoctrinated to love football.

 

[veroniquem]

Merci vero, c'est tres gentil a ta part.

C'est sincere

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Can also be an inspiration and further your own creativity or activity.

Klizan has fallen how many times yet? To Klizan at least, the court is much too slippery today

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Klizan needs to break now

 

[Djokovic2011]

So when will you counter your Rafa hatred?

I would like us to be friends but you always seem to have so much hostility toward me.

 

[sbengte]

Yep whatever you say princess.

Btw LOL at your sig! :lol:

130 will be sorely missed , but then he is not really gone

 

[The_Order]

Another amazing point!

 

[Ralph]

And that's what you deserve for not having the balls to approach the net.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Fantastic point from Nadal. Happy now The Order? :wink:

 

[Ralph]

Still no leg though with the ridiculous vamos.

 

[Chanwan]

Karlo out, Rafa playing well. Rosol up next. Lightning doesn't strike twice now, does it?
Seems Rafa will survive the first week and, if so, he'll be the favorite for the title imo.

President is probably watching football nonstop since making that comment. He hasn't been around these past 2 weeks.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Rosol will not be intimidated by nadal.That match could be a good one.

 

[The_Order]

I would like us to be friends but you always seem to have so much hostility toward me.

Don't take it personal, it's your anti-Rafa posting style that I attack.

 

[Hood_Man]

130 will be sorely missed , but then he is not really gone

He lives on in all of us.

 

[Tennis sensation]

2 Set points

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Klizan looks clumsy on grass

 

[Tennis sensation]

Third set Rafa

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Nah he's around, I still need to respond to some of his queries in other threads. He's a reasonable and great poster usually but my eyes hadn't opened that wide to a post in many weeks - it stuck with me as being particularly ludicrous.

Klizan-test is passed. Given the above, is Rafa now the prohibitive favorite to win Wimbledon?

 

[FedTheMan]

He lives on in all of us.

Yes and don't forget that he IS tennis. No one else knows as much about tennis.

 

[The_Order]

Fantastic point from Nadal. Happy now The Order? :wink:

Yes I am happy because Nadal is up 2 sets to 1 and seems to be finding his confidence on centre court.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Don't take it personal, it's your anti-Rafa posting style that I attack.

There are far worse posters than me on this forum when it comes to disparaging Nadal.

 

[Djokovic2011]

I'm happy that you're happy.

 

[Deleted member 542803]

Haters in shook

 

[topher]

I'm feeling very relieved. They're already showing Rosol/Nadal replays, greeeat.

130 will be sorely missed , but then he is not really gone

"Who is this N-S-K/1-3-0 that everyone obsessively refers to?

N-S-K troll accounts make up 90% of the users on Talk Tennis. Including yourself. Happy trolling, N-SK."

This should be added to the FAQ.

Edit: I didn't realize the word was banned. Man, this whole forum has post-traumatric stress from whatever he did lol.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Ahh. Just made pancakes

 

[veroniquem]

Definitely. Come on "the order", stop harassing my friend, go after the real meanies instead

 

[Chico]

We actually elaborated already that lightning can strike twice indeed.

 

[aldeayeah]

I stopped watching at 5-4 in the first set. What's the match been like since?

 

[Tennis sensation]

Nadal holds
1-0

 

[Deleted member 542803]

Like i said haters in shook

 

[MichaelNadal]

Like i said haters in shook

Like God sprayed the forum with Raid :lol:

 

[topher]

Finish him with an early break here Rafa! Oh well.

Klizan gets one of the breaks back.

But will you post if Nadal breaks again?

I like Djokovic2011 but this was funny!

 

[Tennis sensation]

klizan holds

 

[President]

Nah he's around, I still need to respond to some of his queries in other threads. He's a reasonable and great poster usually but my eyes hadn't opened that wide to a post in many weeks - it stuck with me as being particularly ludicrous.

I agree it was an arrogant comment to make. I still find football/soccer boring to watch (control of the ball seems too tenuous to me and scoring is too difficult, same reason I don't like hockey), but of course i can understand that people are attracted to different things about sport. In my defense, all I can say is that I was very, very drunk when I made that post last week. I got some good news about a job and my brother and I had a shot contest, haha.

kliz has no spark for an upset
