Wimbledon Day 4: Thursday, June 26 - Order of Play

[britbox]

Even stevens. Great return from Nadal.

 

[Murat B.]

Two huge returns from Rosol but Rafa holds, up 5-4.

 

[Murat B.]

Rosol finds his first serve and gets an easy hold.

 

[britbox]

5-5

 

[Murat B.]

Rosol will serve to take it to a TB.

 

[crystalfire]

Rooting for rosol. Let's goo

 

[Murat B.]

Huge DTL backhand from Rosol to take this to TB.

 

[Garro]

Huge tie break here....

 

[Murat B.]

Lots of 5 setters today. Both Monfils and Gasquet will play the 5th. set. Kohly already in the 5th.

 

[El Dude]

Meanwhile the two "Frenchmen vs. Young Guns" matches have one to five sets. I've got to like what I've seen from Vesely and Kyrgios, as well as Thiem (who lost to Saville in the 1R).

 

[Murat B.]

Rosol gets the mini break, up 5-3, Rafa serving.

 

[Murat B.]

Back on serve in the TB

 

[Murat B.]

Huge serve from Rosol, and it is set point for Rosol, Rafa serving.

 

[Murat B.]

Big forehand from rafa, 6-6.

 

[britbox]

Gutsy mini-hold from Nadal.

 

[golds girl]

I don't know why my commentators sound so flabbergasted at this. It's simple logic. I have a great serve and lousy movement, my opponent has a lousy serve and great movement. I pounce on his lousy serve thereby making movement irrelevant. I win.

 

[Murat B.]

Set point Rafa, Rosol serving.

 

[britbox]

Set point Nadal

 

[Murat B.]

Wow...DF from Rosol to give it away. 1 set all.

 

[britbox]

Ouch.. a double. Set to Nadal 1-1.
