[shadymcgrady]

He was scared about getting called out by kyrigios for his stalling antics and cheat tactics. He also knows kyrigios is a better player at this point when motivated and knew he was going to lose

[pologq]

makes sense. he couldn't serve in practice.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Tummy ache

[TheMetsSuck]

6mm tear is his abdomen

[KiDBaZkiT]

After 5 sets of picking his ass non stop his cheeks were probably too chafed to play for a while.

[slayer14]

I think there should be a lucky laser in this situation so Fritz goes through to the semi final you can't have semi final not being played at grand slam level

[jjgold]

Embarrassment here Fritz to lose to him injured

[Otters27]

Kyrios just waltz into finals

[homie1975]

Kyrios just waltz into finals

well i would not categorize it as "waltzed" into the finals.

he did win 5 matches to get here, you know.

Good for nick

sad for nadal

[shadymcgrady]

Kyrigios was going to boat race Nadal then call him out for his wedgie picking, OCD, using more than the allowed time to serve, etc. Rafa scared, wanted no part of being exposed

i'd be careful predicting anything when it comes to Nick.

Rafa is 6-3 h2h lifetime v Rafa and Rafa took him out in 4 sets the last time they faced each other on grass.

we know you hate Rafa but stop saying nonsensical things.

The fact that he's only 6-3 against a self imploding mercurial kyrigios instead of 8-1 or 9-0 tells you all you need to know.

I don't hate Rafa either, you just luv him

Happens so often in Tennis. Impression from last match:

*Rafa = super-man. Wasn't faking injury.
*Fritz doesn't look so good. Great chance to knock off an all-time. Couldn't get it done.

[SamsNCharge99]

Nadal and kyrgios hate each other. One of the biggest matches of thenyear for sure. So much drama

i feel like nick respects joker a little more than in past

[shadymcgrady]

I hope kyrigios keeps it together and it's a good match, the one nole had with fed a few yrs ago was epic

[homie1975]

I can nick taking a set but if joker gets by norrie I think he sails over mick in 4 sets if he's healthy

[Booya711]

Nick is not beating joker if they play

[jjgold]

Nicky has changed


Everybody has said it just listen to him he’s different than a few years ago his play this year has been pretty good also

[Brock Landers]

Hilarious NO ONE has even mentioned NORRIE, who plays joker tomorrow

[jjgold]

It would be hilarious if Norrie wins

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Hilarious NO ONE has even mentioned NORRIE, who plays joker tomorrow

I think that's b/c those in the KNOW realize that Norrie is up against a beast here. In Best of 5 setting, I really think it would take an injury default or Novak becoming inhibited.

Brock, you give Norrie a REAL chance to win?

[MiDNiTe]

Hilarious NO ONE has even mentioned NORRIE, who plays joker tomorrow

Hard to see how Norrie can boss joker during the rallies as he'll need to break joker 2+ times as I definitely see joker breaking Norrie a few times

[MiDNiTe]

Watching Norrie play live is something every tennis watcher should do, guy can look really awful at times and you think how the f this guy gets amazing results he looks like a scrub but hopefully home crowd can make it a competitive match

[slayer14]

Norrie is no worse than Tim Henman

[flyingillini]

He pulled out because he knew he would get destroyed in the next match. Nadal is beaten down, too many miles on him. He will go down in history as one of the best. However, he had his run this tournament and he has passed the torch. God Bless

[manny24]

No surprise

you should pull out your wallet and pay Bobby

[flyingillini]

Both parties have said it has been resolved. I would like to see a zoom call between the two and post it on SBR. I would pay to see it.

[homie1975]

Hilarious NO ONE has even mentioned NORRIE, who plays joker tomorrow

because he is Minus 10,000 over Norrie

[flyingillini]

Norrie has an overhand and backhand that the tennis world has never seen. He is trained by the tennis Elite.

[Brock Landers]

Nicky has as good a shot as I do of beating the joker on Sunday
