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

[Djokovic2011]

Like i said haters in shook

I don't think anyone seriously expected Nadal to lose this match.

 

[aldeayeah]

Klizan still painting lines.

 

[Legend of Borg]

eyo, not good signs for matches to come

rafa gonna get rekt soon if he doesn't clean up

 

[The_Order]

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

Come on I wouldn't call it harassment, he took a shot at Mustard just for posting Nadal won the second set.

And don't worry I do go after the meaner ones, I think some of my exchanges have been quite epic to say the least...

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.

Fair play, fair play.

Good (enough) stuff here from Nadal to open his account although can't take anything for granted he needs to still win a third set.

Nothing too menacing in the horizon until R4, he might actually survive!

 

[sbengte]

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

I had told you most of what you needed to know at that point He held to serve out the set from 0-30 , and props to him for that, but the next two sets still went according to the script.

Klizan to get broken right back, lose the set and then fold 3 and 3 in the next two sets.

 

[Backbored]

I hate that during live play they go back to the studio were some bobble head go on and on with some washed up has been talking about the game that is being played live that we can’t see.

I miss your exchanges with abmk- it's been a while since I last saw one!

 

[The_Order]

Nadal again with an amazing recovery!

 

[Tennis sensation]

2 BP Nadal

 

[MichaelNadal]

GOAT point from Rafa lol

It was a bit of an errorfest back then, did the quality pick up at least?

btw, great point from nadal now

Realistically, no one is stopping Nadal because he is playing quite well for R1. It is the haters who are going to get rekt ;-)

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

AWESOME recovery from a slip from Nadal followed by an accurate and well measured lob winner!

 

[Tennis sensation]

Nadal misses one chance

 

[Tennis sensation]

Nadal breaks
3-1

Mustard is a sweetheart too.

Rafa is cuising now, yeah.

 

[The_Order]

With those sort of recoveries you can tell Rafa really wants to give this Wimbledon all he's got.

 

[veroniquem]

With those sort of recoveries you can tell Rafa really wants to give this Wimbledon all he's got.

And that's bad news for the rest of the field :twisted:

 

[MichaelNadal]

A-give it away now...

 

[Tennis sensation]

Nadal holds

4-1

 

[tennis_pro]

I've seen this match before....

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

With those sort of recoveries you can tell Rafa really wants to give this Wimbledon all he's got.

Unfinished business... going out in early rounds for two years in a row as a five-time finalist and two-time champion of Wimbledon.

 

[Sid_Vicious]

Hitting hard on Nadal isn't working anymore. Klizan couldn't do anymore with those forehands. Nadal countered everything with his forehand.

 

[torpantennis]

Realistically, no one is stopping Nadal because he is playing quite well for R1. It is the haters who are going to get rekt ;-)

Nadal fails miserably IF the opponent uses correct tactics. Klizan WAS using correct tactics, hitting short balls to Nadal BH, forcing to bend that knee. It worked, but he's a loser, and got rid of a winning tactics.

 

[aldeayeah]

Savour that banana. You've earned it

 

[Djokovic2011]

I anticipate much traffic on the Nadal/Rosol match thread on Thursday. :wink:

 

[President]

Nadal looks pretty good to me, much better than the last two years.

 

[MichaelNadal]

I anticipate much traffic on the Nadal/Rosol match thread on Thursday. :wink:

Of course, Nadal is the most polarizing figure in men's tennis.

 

[tennis_pro]

Of course, Nadal is the most polarizing figure in men's tennis.

That's beacuse he has the highest % chance of being upset from the top players.

 

[veroniquem]

The revenge! I smell blood :twisted:

 

[The_Order]

Incorrect. He actually has only lost in the first round of a major ONCE in his entire career. Hasn't happened too many times in the second round either...

 

[Djokovic2011]

Great drop shot there from Klizan.

 

[aldeayeah]

epic shank for BP

 

[torpantennis]

Way to go Klizan! Hit more of those short balls to Nadal BH!

 

[Sentinel]

Violation!!!. Are all the umps biased against Nadal.

 

[Terenigma]

Vamos Klizan!

 

[tennis_pro]

Incorrect. He actually has only lost in the first round of a major ONCE in his entire career. Hasn't happened too many times in the second round either...

Incorrect? Who has lost to Kohlschreiber, Rosol, Darcis, Brown all in the first couple of rounds on grass since 2011?

You think Djokovic, Murray, Federer are more likely to lose before the quarters than Nadal? Get out of here.

 

[gambitt]

Time violation at last.

McEnroe disappointed, citing "Nobody cares". Clueless.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Well I didn't see that coming. :shock:

 

[Team10]

Wow, out of nowhere Klizan gets it back on serve for 3-4. Nadal should have been up 5-2 right now, time violation messed him up.

 

[tennis_pro]

Time violation at last.

McEnroe disappointed, citing "Nobody cares". Clueless.

I think Nadal did looking how he got broken straight away.

 

[torpantennis]

Way to go! That guy with bad knees will get so distracted, whenever you hit just one dropshot to his BH! :lol:

 

[FederErizeD]

Violation!!!. Are all the umps biased against Nadal.

COME ON NOW !! I was wondering when he will ever get it ..

He takes forever before EVERY POINT for Godsake !

 

[Sentinel]

I anticipate much traffic on the Nadal/Rosol match thread on Thursday. :wink:

I am sure that thread has already gone into a few pages.

 

[gambitt]

McEnroe doesn't even know it's 20 seconds! He thinks it's 25... How much tennis does this guy actually follow?

 

[The_Order]

Federer has lost early at Wimbledon more times than Nadal has. Fact.

 

[JRAJ1988]

Klizan breaks but he looks tired

 

[gambitt]

Federer has lost early at Wimbledon more times than Nadal has. Fact.

How many Wimbledons has Federer played? How many has Nadal played?
