Nadal vs. Dimitrov In-Game thread

[dlw902]

I think Dimitrov may get routed on this last set... so many chances in that tiebreaker.

[Romanov]

toast. put your house on nadal now

[BennyBigNuts]

Nadal probly shuts him out 4th set.

[face]

damn it
he choked

Baby Hewitt

[Romanov]

Would be sweet if the kid pulls a Nishikori and makes a set out of it at least

[crazykind]

he wont forget that set point, his woman would have put that one away

[Romanov]

Anyone have a line on Nadal -1.5 prematch?

[shari91]

Yikes I'm on the under so hopefully they go four blowout sets so we can both hit our bets! Then again the under was the first thing I liked before my phone died at the park so I fully expect 3 tiebreaks at the start of the match

Good luck Benny!!

Two out of three TBs instead

[herts9]

regardless, kid has heart. sets him up for years ahead with a learning experience if nothing else

Three certainties in life: death, taxes, and a winning bet when "fate" intervenes and kills your chances of completing the wager.

Same here man. Completely unloaded on Federer. Im talking I have $0 left in this particular account if it loses.

[Romanov]

he is still fighting. good volley

[ThaTopMoron]

Nadal so lucky in that 3rd set tiebreaker set point that barely missed lol

I want to put in a decent play on Fed

Ok, I will allow that.

[Seaweed]

Nadal looks good

[ProPicker713]

Nadal Game Set Match Sorry dimi backers.

[poet]

Nadal looks good

Looks good? In spurts yes but he has also looked very shaky. He has done just enough to hang around and win some tiebreaks. Does that spell dominance to you?

[BennyBigNuts]

This match was what I expected it to be.
Young kid with tons of talent, on the rise, making a statement in this match but coming up short.
Dimitrov is for real.
Loses 2 tiebreakers that's just youth and nerves.
Top 5 around the corner for this kid.
Great match.

[herts9]

not to win the championship ^

Lol nadal picks his ass in all types of clothing, my god

It was a good display from Dimitrov, but honestly he still has a lot of work to be done because this is definitely not A-level Rafa the last two matches. The wrap on his hand has certainly hurt his feel for his racket and led to a lot more errors and poor shots than normal. Dimitrov showed what we knew already I think - he can go toe to toe with the big guns in a best of three, but best of five - he is not there quite yet.

Slams are won in 4th and 5th sets. It's what separates the contenders from the pretenders. Will be interesting to see how much progress Rasheed makes with him by the time the French rolls around.
