Nah. He's on medication and his doctors aren't stupid.

milos raonic has retired..(not completely tho)

..good news for andy murray is the wtf rank race.

How do you mean "not completely" ? His serve left the building or something?

could be. milos has an extendable inspector gadget style serving arm.

 

[Murat B.]

wow... Lopez? Really? Is this the appendicitis? I'm not being facetious

His shots not quite penetrating like they usually do and he is a bit off, timing wise. He might pick it up yet...

The guy has a legit issue...It is when he does NOT have any issues and he lowers expectations that bugs me. Like, say , he is going to play the 85th player in the world and he says in the presser something like " Well, I have to play my best tennis to beat this very dangerous opponent" , and he goes ahead and beats him easily, not playing near his best tennis.

Not his fault though, it is the lame press people. If I was one, I would ask him this" Hi Rafa, yesterday you said you had to play your best tennis to beat so and so. You were nowhere near your best, yet it was straight sets for you. WTF is up with that?"

Killer pass from Rafa to get a BP early in the second set.

 

[Murat B.]

Rafa picking it up. Timing improving.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

lol..rafa gonna win, brain fade lopez started thinking about a potential win and is falling apart.

 

[Murat B.]

Amazing touch from Rafa.

I'm glad the Delicious One is taking it to Nadal.

 

[Murat B.]

TB coming up to determine the winner of the match or the second set. Rafa had a really lame game serving for the set.

 

[Murat B.]

Horribly late and wrong call by the linesman there. They have actually been amazing so far.

 

[kskate2]

5-5

 

[kskate2]

DF = SP for Nadal

 

[kskate2]

Delicious saves!

 

[Murat B.]

What a nice point by DL...despite Rafa finding the lines twice in a row.

 

[kskate2]

MP for Deli

 

[Federberg]

that was an awesome point for matchpoint

 

[Murat B.]

Nice finish too. Well done Lopez. Somewhere a member of the Murray clan is smiling...

 

[TsarMatt]

Wow, I can't believe it. What a last couple of points from Lopez!

 

[Federberg]

oh wow...

 

[kskate2]

Wow! The Delicious comes through in straights and here I thought he was an eternal choker. :clap

 

[kskate2]

Look at it this way Nadal fans, at least he didn't withdraw.
