Both players broke each other once in the last 4 sets.
Big grudge match now between Nadal and Nick the Yid. They hate each other. Nick one of the few players on tour who’ll call out the gamesmanship and cheating of Nadal. Hard to see Nick recovering physically though from a grueling four and a half hour marathon like that.
He can relax now for the night and maybe tune in to watch his beloved Tottenham Hotspur in FA Cup action at the Dell against Southampton.
Cheating? What the hell are you on about?
Pat Cash is the man who calls out gamesmanship and cheating to be fair.
Kyrgios will drive nadal nuts with his carry on. He is the only player that really gets under Nadal’s skin. I think he has been planning this, he mimicking Nadal’s serve in the previous round.
In that match this morning he could have won it in 3 sets if he wasn’t pricking around. He tried to do a hot dog at i think it was game point and all he had to do was put the ball away.
Kyrgios is utterly obsessed with Nadal.

He’s a great character Nick the Yid. One of the few born entertainers in the bland modern day world of tennis. Going to 5 sets and spending four and a half hours out on court not very helpful though to his prospects of further advancement. Despite all his natural talent, he’s never struck me as one of the better conditioned or fitter players.
He isn’t as fit as he should be, he has even admitted that himself. He has said that depending on his mood when he wakes up he will decide to practice or just laze around.
Imagine what he would be like if committed himself like some of the others. Such a waste.
Sandgen is a set up and a double break up in the second set over Fognini.
Looks like Federer will reach the semi final without having to face a player inside the world’s top 40:
Johnson - world no 85
Krajinovic - world no 41
Millman - world no 47
Fucsovics - world no 70
Sandgren - world no 100
He’ll never get a better chance of winning another slam.
Raonic will face Djokovic in the other quarter.

Raonic seems to be in great form at the minute, he has yet to drop a set and has dumped out the likes of Tsitsipas and Cilic.
He hit 35 aces against Cilic today in just 16 games of serve!! If he continues to serve like that he could ask some questions of Djokovic though I deem it unlikely all the same.
You’re obsessed with Federer. At least this obsession will give you a bit of relief from Jurgen Klopp for a day or two.
I’m only commenting on the side of the draw that’s taking place today. It’s odd that you’re upset by that.
I was reading back on a few threads there and @GeoffreyBoycott was seething, absolutely livid when Nadal advanced to the US Open semi final in 2017 without having to play a seeded player.
Fucsovics breaks in the first set.
3 set points for the Hungarian.
Federer drops the first set to Fucsovics. This is sad to look at really. He’s an old man out there, pushing 39 and playing like a duffer. Age old adage of a sportsman not been able to walk away. All the more difficult I’d imagine when you’re the greatest of all time.
Fucsovics takes the first set 6-4.
Nadal is the 
Federer regularly drops a set against this kind of opposition, he will beat this fella in 4.

Federer breaks.
Guys, can you ignore the melodrama from @ChairmanDan, he hasn’t a clue about tennis.
Just show the aura of the Great Man and the fear and paranoia he’s instilled in the begrudgers when you read comments that a washed up near 39 year old will never get a better chance of winning another slam.
This Hungarian chap is not very good. Millman a far more accomplished player. He really should retire if he crashes out here.
Backtrack.
You have no conviction, you’re a spineless man.
