2017 RG Final: Wawrinka vs Nadal

[brokenshoelace]

2nd set, obviously enough, is crucial for Stan. More so than the first.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Rafa: 10 winners, 8 UEs --- Stan: 4 winners, 17 UEs

 

[brokenshoelace]

Because Stan has lost first sets before and suddenly upped his level. But 2 sets to love down against Nadal at the FO is obviously a death setence.

 

[DarthFed]

Not a bad move just to play Wimbledon, past time he stops underachieving there and gets #8

 

[britbox]

Nadal's in claybot mode. Wawrinka's going have to shake him out of this rhythm or this might be done in 3 quick ones.

 

[kskate2]

We will never now will we Darth? If nothing else, it would have changed the draws around Darth

 

[Front242]

Stan's stats suck copius amounts of donkey c**k

 

[brokenshoelace]

Rafa had 6 unforced errors in the entire 2008 FO final. He's on 8 already. Just for perspective since some were comparing his level.

 

[DarthFed]

Rafa looked good enough off clay that it figured he'd be dominant on it

 

[britbox]

Yeah, he's not at that level, but doesn't need to be.

 

[Front242]

I actually rewatched a bit of that match yesterday and the first few games they both played like manure

 

[britbox]

Nobody in history could have touched 2008

 

[DarthFed]

He played well the last few games but his level was poor at first

 

[DarthFed]

Stan needed to jump out to the lead, now it's over

 

[kskate2]

what is Stan smiling about? He's getting lambasted

 

[kskate2]

How many games does RN need to lose the 2008 record?

 

[kskate2]

beat*

 

[DarthFed]

10 more games I think

 

[Carol]

Stan is playing like Thiem, desperate

 

[kskate2]

so Stanimal is trying to make an appearance
