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

[Garro]

Wow. Came so close to a two set lead.

 

[DarthFed]

Rafa ties it up vs. grass court legend Rosol.

 

[crystalfire]

So close damn

 

[Murat B.]

Toni is excited.
Best of 3 now. Rafa should feel good about his chances now. I am not sure what Rosol is thinking now but he has to remember it was a 5 setter last time, so no reason to change anything, just play your game.

 

[El Dude]

So my question is does Rafa own multiple Richard Milles, or does he just swap his straps out?

 

[crystalfire]

Break point. If Rafa breaks he probably has this match on his hands

 

[El Dude]

Holy crap, how did Rafa get that.

 

[El Dude]

Here comes the Rafa steamroll.

 

[Murat B.]

Kohly is out, lost to Bolelli in 5. I did not expect that at all.

 

[Murat B.]

Rafa wins this set, it is over in 4. Rosol wins it, it is not over.

 

[crystalfire]

Kohly is out, lost to Bolelli in 5. I did not expect that at all.

And to think I almost picked him as a wildcard

 

[DarthFed]

^ No faith in mighty Rosol? It is comical that the clown gave him problems once again.

 

[Murat B.]

Nice slice pass from Rafa. Old school.

 

[El Dude]

Congrats to Jiri Vesely - beats Monfils and is on to the 3R.

Nah...Rosol exceeded my expectations by winning a set already.

 

[britbox]

Rosol's come to have a go. Doesn't deserve the clown label.

 

[DarthFed]

It doesn't take much to win a set, or 2, or 3 vs. Rafa the first week. He stinks on this stuff but naturally he isn't going to play any decent player until week 2.

Before they started "overworking" the grass, Rafa would have been toast in the old days! :nono "SOME GOAT!" :nono :angel:
