Kyrgios doesn't have a chance on this slow hardcourt by the way.

Quite frankly I think we're going to see a Rafa-Novak final. I just have a hunch that Rafa is going to beat Roger. The courts are already playing slow (at least according to Sloane Stephens), and by next week they should be clay-like.

Hope I'm wrong, but its what my gut says.

I don't think Rafa makes it to the final (too many hurdles, and I don't think he beats Roger here), but if he does, I don't think Novak is the clear favorite many think he is if they were to play.

I disagree. I think Novak is the heavy favorite in these conditions. Anything slow without a very high bounce is his playpen.

Roger has over 40 winners in these "slow conditions". Why is everyone griping?

Not particularly happy with what I am am seeing with Roger. But I also can't wrap my head around how slow this grass plays. Normally Roger's slice has bite. Looks like it has nothing here. Even the forehand and the serve. He is not hitting through the court. Maybe he should loosen the tension by 5 pounds or something next match to see how it goes.

Happy 4th of July to the folks south of the border !

Thanks Murat—Happy Independence Day to all who are from USA

I am so over all the hype of this match. Am I the only one?

Rafa-Nick

Cilic goes down as quickly as a whore in Vegas. Pathetic, the one time I root for Juicic he lets me down.

He has become useless and should be charged 1$ for every ball bounce before the serve.

Can't expect the Aussie to save Independence Day. I have a bad feeling Nads will roll him, the slower court will obviously help him.

 

[Federberg]

Lol! It's funny that first point on Nick's serve and I already feel like this will be an easy straight sets for Rafa

 

[DarthFed]

Shameless twatdal slowing down play already on return

 

[DarthFed]

Kyrgios movement looks like something out of a nursing home

 

[don_fabio]

Nick already broken

 

[kskate2]

only the 2nd game and he's already thrown in the sacrificial first tweener that earns Nads the break

It might have something to do w/ all that time he spent at the Dog & Pound last night

 

[don_fabio]

Nick served 37 aces that match he beat Nadal here. I don't see him doing the same here again, he got too lazy. So without the aid of aces and high percent of first serve he will be useless here.

 

[tented]

FFS, Kyrgios already arguing with the umpire.

 

[DarthFed]

Fuck Nadal and these stall tactics on return.

 

[don_fabio]

I can't watch and internet slowed down to shit even for a radio. Is this Nick complaining already couple of times about Nadal stalling the returns? But he is crazy who can follow his tempo he don't give you like 2 seconds between points. How much is Nadal stalling?

Nick complained because the umpire didn’t allow a challenge.
