Wimbledon Day 8: Tuesday, July 1 - Order of Play

[Murat B.]

Nice recovery from the kid to tie it up at 30 all, but a bad shot selection gives Rafa a BP.

 

[Murat B.]

Rafa wins the set...It was close.

 

[tented]

Match point ... I mean, set point.

 

[El Dude]

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. I suppose if Kyrgios keeps his serve going it could remain interesting, but if Rafa breaks him early in the third set he could get frustrated and lose his cool.

 

[Murat B.]

The first point of the last game, the easy missed volley by the kid was big.

 

[Murat B.]

Kyrgios starting to guess...that's not good.

If he would just focus on his service games and only go after games on Rafa's serve, when the opportunity presents itself.... It may not be a pretty match, but he'd conserve his energy (and his legs) for doing what he knows will work.

 

[El Dude]

Well he's hanging in there, 3-3. Hard to choose between this and Argentina-Switzerland.

Kyrgios I would think will now be offered wild cards,@ 19 years I guess there is a lot more to come from him.

 

[Murat B.]

Kyrgios way too casual with the volley, for the second time now.

If he can remain in the top 100 then he won't need them.

 

[Murat B.]

Kyrgios could not take advantage of 2 mini breaks in the TB. he is up 4-3 on serve.

 

[Murat B.]

Set point for the kid, Rafa serving.

Set point for the kid, Rafa serving.

Thanks for the updates. I unfortunately can't watch this one.

 

[Murat B.]

No guts, no glory. the kid runs around the backhand an unleashes a huge forehand to claim the set.

 

[bobvance]

Wow I can't believe I still haven't seen this kid play. He seems like he has major cojones.

 

[crystalfire]

Let's goo dude. Do it for the vine. One more set

 

[tented]

Wow I can't believe I still haven't seen this kid play. He seems like he has major cojones.

It's impressive, no doubt about it, especially considering who he's playing, and on what court. If he wins, he will have earned it.

 

[sid]

If Nadal was 2 win this match it's gonna take some out of him.I won't be shocked if Kyrgios wins this match,pleased he's in the bottom half of the draw lol.
