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

[Murat B.]

Nadal up 2-1. I think he runs away with it now.

Gasquet -Kyrgios is really exciting right now.

 

[britbox]

^ Some good matches today.

 

[Riotbeard]

Good on Rafa for righting the ship and going up 2-1.

 

[britbox]

One way traffic at the moment.

 

[Murat B.]

bP for Kyrgios in the fifth, tied at 7-7. Gasquet save it with an ace.

 

[crystalfire]

Rosol seems to be done

 

[Murat B.]

Gaquet has match point at 7-8, Aussie serving...saves it with a huge serve.

 

[Murat B.]

Kyrgios has 3 BPs to go up 9-8 and he takes it. He will serve for the match.

 

[Murat B.]

Amazing backhand from the Aussie to go up 30-0. he can taste it now...

 

[Murat B.]

Well done Kyrgios! Closes it out with an ace, coming back from 0-2. He saved 9 match points!
There is hope !

 

[El Dude]

After Vesely and Kyrgios won today, I'm feeling a bit more positive about the younger generation (although these guys are almost in the next gen after Dimitrov/Raonic).

 

[Murat B.]

Rosol is trying to stay positive but he is not making any dents in Rafa's serve games and he is having a hard time holding his on serve. His timing seems to be off...

 

[Murat B.]

Nadal would love to break here and close it out...but Rosol has his best serving game of the set. I think it was less than a minute.

Rosol is trying to stay positive but he is not making any dents in Rafa's serve games and he is having a hard time holding his on serve. His timing seems to be off...

Going for broke like that gives neither player any rhythm as far as I'm concerned! What I find fault with the most is Rosol avoiding the net when he does have Rafa on the defensive! True enough it's no picnic trying to pick passing shots bending like that, but he's not going to win from the baseline either! He allowed Rafa to get in a groove by starting those rallies in the 2nd set and now "he's done!" uzzled :nono :angel:

 

[Murat B.]

Rosol trying to hang in there.30-30.

 

[Murat B.]

A blink from Nadal gives Rosol a BP. He just shanked that forehand.

 

[Murat B.]

Ace gives Rafa his first MP. Hits the forehand long, back to deuce.

 

[Murat B.]

Great point played by Rosol, back to deuce.

 

[Murat B.]

Another ace, another MP for Rafa.

 

[Fiero425]

Done! My mom used to say, "act like you've been there before!" That jumping up and down with a 2nd round match is pathetic! In my day you just didn't act like that, even at a tourney's end, much less an early round match! :nono
