fabes Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Anyone watch Nadal get pummelled last night by Rosol? Some incredible tennis from the no.100 in the world! the poms are going to get their hopes now cos Nadal was in Murray's half of the draw! Didnt see it but that is just brilliant... well done Rosol
D-Mike Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 My wife is really miffed. She's a huge Nadal fan. I don't mind too much. I'm a Federer fan. I just hope he can work he's way past Djokovic and he could well take a 7th title home.

'Dale Posted June 29, 2012 Author Posted June 29, 2012 To beat Nadal takes one amazingly brave effort. Awesome! Hope he makes this count!
dracs Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 tell you what if he plays like that again he will go a long way - but I don't know if he can sustain that level.
Bianchisti Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 If Rosol was a cyclist he'd be standing accused of doping this morning. I watched the first set last night, went to bed to get up early for my ride thus morn, got back looked at the papers and realized I missed something special. Just watched the replay. That hitting and winners was extra ordinary. Granted Rafael didnt play well but he was never allowed into the match. Vamos (home) Rafa!

It really was something else - he was hitting 90mph groundstroke winners cm's from the lines time after time after time. Made me think of Herchel Gibbs talking about that 434 innings he played against Oz when he was just filled with a wierd kind of invincibility and self belief - and knew that he could sustain another level on that night.
'Dale Posted June 29, 2012 Author Posted June 29, 2012 Fed in a wee bit of trouble against less familiar Benneteau - one set down.
'Dale Posted June 29, 2012 Author Posted June 29, 2012 Rog 2 sets down against 73rd seeded Benneteau.Sublime stroke play both sides.

Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk That was awesome! First time I'm grateful there was nothing on TV to watch and I had to scroll through the channels looking for something. It was fantastic seeing them smiling and laughing and having a good time. Gen 1

Shebeen Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) today Kevbo takes on Fed2pm. current score is 4-0, and fed has yet to lose a set in those games https://www.sport24.co.za/Tennis/Wimbledon/guitar-man-anderson-wants-rhythm-not-blues-v-federer-20180710 If Anderson is to shock Federer, who has only lost once before the quarter-finals at Wimbledon in 15 years, he will need to call up the heavy artillery which has served him well at the tournament this year.He has sent down 96 aces in four rounds and dropped serve just six times.Anderson is also fourth on the fastest serve chart with a top speed of 140 mph (225.3km/h).However, Federer has held all of his 55 service games this year and last dropped serve in the semi-finals in 2017 - 81 service games ago.The 36-year-old is also on a streak of 32 consecutive sets won at the tournament, just two off his record."I feel like a lot of aspects of my game can give him a lot of trouble," said Anderson, the first South African man in the Wimbledon quarter-finals since Wayne Ferreira in 1994."I'm a big player, big serve. I'm going to have to really take it to him."Also at the same time try to treat it like another tennis match. Only my second time out on Centre Court. He's played there a few more times than that."The more I can just treat it like another tennis match, the better for me." Edited July 11, 2018 by Bartali
