In fairness to Nishikori, he’s probably out on his feet. He had to play two sets yesterday in the midday sun to finish off a 5 setter against Paire. Nadal had a rest day yesterday, courtesy of the preferential scheduling that he always gets at the French.
Nadal takes the 2nd set 6-1.
Some performance from the 33 year old Spaniard.
He’s 37.
Standard for Nishikori, expect the towel to be thrown in any minute now.
37 year old, over the hill has been Federer takes the third set in a tie break. What a match this is, really should have top billing. You really have to question the organisers decision to put this on second court.
Oh there’s a shock Nishikori has called on the trainer. The towel is getting ready to be thrown in.
What a volley this was.
Federer really struggling to take these break points.
It was the same against Tsitispas in Australia.
1 from 15 break points. Another one gone a begging. Now game point to Wawrinka.
That’s age related. One of the first things that goes is the ability to seize the big points. Another break point just gone there.
Nishikori is some joke. Says it all about the state of the sport that he’s the Number 7 seed.
It’s bottle related.
A forklift driver questioning the bottle of the GOAT, the 8th time Championship winner.
I’m questioning a guy who is fluffing glorious opportunity after glorious opportunity.
A wife beater trying to comment on temperament.
The Asexual One’s creepy obsession with my wife rears its head again.
I think you’re a scumbag for assaulting women.
Play stopped.
Is he not talking about Nishikori when it comes to bottle? Only the village idiot would try question the bottle of someone who has won 20 grand slams i his career. You would have to question a persons sanity over something like that.
The bottle of a guy who converts 1 of 16 break points and 0 of 12 in his last slam defeat.
Or maybe it is just his opponent steps it up and has nothing to do with bottle.
I think you should go back to counting people in the crowd because you haven’t a fucking clue what your talking about.
