2017 US Open Semifinals: Nadal vs. Del Potro

[kskate2]

I think he might be reading these forums and sticking around just to spite you. heehee

 

[brokenshoelace]

Ugh. Here we go again. Rafa the best ever at losing the first point on serve.

 

[DarthFed]

Maybe KS

 

[Moxie]

Delicate from Nadal.

 

[DarthFed]

But fact is 31 is no longer old for athletes, evolution and nutrition

 

[kskate2]

31 is the new 21

 

[rafanoy1992]

Btw, he faced Federer and Djokovic a combined six times in the finals and both could not take 2 sets from him

 

[DarthFed]

Rafa's serve has been better than Roger's WTA serve this year

 

[kskate2]

Fed didn't serve bad at Wimby or AO

 

[Moxie]

Broken, just to point out, you can be a drama queen too. No reason to take to the faintng couch yet.

 

[rafanoy1992]

I agree about Nadal's serve this year, Darth

 

[DarthFed]

He didn't serve well either and it's been terrible for good chunks of the year

 

[brokenshoelace]

Rafa has been serving very well this year, that's true. Wouldn't say it's been anywhere near Roger's serve this year unless we're pretending the first six months never happened.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Uh Moxie, I acknowledged I was the biggest in-match drama queen among Nadal fans already in this chat. I own up to it

 

[DarthFed]

Fed was hitting incredibly and breaking a lot. This may be the worst he's served in 15 years

 

[rafanoy1992]

Unfortunately, Nadal's return of serve has been average on non Clay this year

 

[brokenshoelace]

I'm just more reasonable than most Rafa fans before and after matches. During though, I'm a mess.

 

[brokenshoelace]

It's been average his entire career. It's gotten worse with time.

 

[DarthFed]

DP is zero threat. Fed losing to him is only happening in a tourney where he should've lost to Tiafoe and Dr

I usually keep my cool but that fifth set AO final and Wimbledon 2008 I was all over the place, pacing around like a caged lion.
