I'm gonna laugh my ass off if he wins the tourney... The kid can do it tired as fck

You wont need to because Nishi aint winning a sh.t

Federer forgot to serve up a break in 2nd set and made tons of unforced errors when the court was half empty in the 3rd. Main reason is he always chokes on the slow surface of Miami. In the morning I was thinking small units on Murray and Nishi as I was expecting one upset but come game time made my mind that Nishi would be tired. He was not physically and I dont think he will be tired at the next game.

Another thing really boogled my mind Federer taking a few steps back of baseline on a lot of Nishi's second serves. I think it is a dumb tactic, he will serve slower but Fed going backwards will return poorer and makes room for a rally. He shold just step up front and try a winner, BH or FH. Towards the end of the game he moved closer which was the right move but he missed a few opportunities at 15-30 and Nishi's second serve by stepping backwards

In the end Nishi was good but Federer faded mentally. I really wanted Federer to win so I can fade him with good odds. I am sure Nishikori wont win here, Federer and Dimitrov's styles differ a lot from Nadal or Djokovic. He will fight but surrender in the end

Congrats to Nishi backers

I watched the entire match, Nishi was tired from the start.federer kept Nishi alive with all the unforced errors this giving Nishi a second win. He most likely won't win the tourney, but you never know what's really gonna happen

Did you see how Federer stepped backwards on Nishi's second serves? I think it was a wrong move.

And Federer also played good in the 2nd set before changing racquet, then he lost his serves in less than 2 minutes

Yeah it wasn't smart. Nishikori is one of the best in the rally's, not sure why fed would think that would help. He was due to lose eventually. Maybe he was mentally tired. I know this is Nishis home turf, his whole family and coaches have been there to help and cheer him on

[Hardcoar]

Going to go with DogPooLove @ 56. Everyone except Nadal has been looking tentatively vulnerable, and Rafa's never had much success in Miami (comparatively). Add to this the fact that DogPooLove just beat Nadal in a tournament where he's enjoyed tremendous success and played him damn tough on clay a week before that.

[Hardcoar]

Sick bitch early!

[Hardcoar]

Wind seems much less prevalent than yesterday.

[Marillion]

How's the game guys, is Pova awesome, Serena horrible or both?
Took Masha in-play at 4.33, hope she takes this.

[Hardcoar]

Some remarkable tennis thus far!

Both women on an absolutely incredible level! Sharapova is winning, rather than Williams losing.

[Stokes36]

Sharapova is looking amazin' so far. Wonder if (or when? lol) she's gonna have a meltdown as the Serena pressure builds

[Stokes36]

.....damn....

Right on cue I guess. lol. She just mentally imploded

[kenz]

Masha can win this, court is slow great for Masha, she is a good clay player, she is better on slower conditions

[Hardcoar]

How can they allow these bitches 60 seconds to put up a serve (let alone a 2:nd), but Rafa can't get three to pick his crack??

[Hardcoar]

Po'Po looking fine in yellow. That outfit suits her well. Too bad she still cannot benefit from serving though.

[Marillion]

Amazing how public always pounds the mainstream names on ML, even if lines open at 1.10 or something like that.

Btw why are opening odds on PaddyPower often way different than on other sites?

[Hardcoar]

Most likely because of incompetence.

[Marillion]

Wondered whether to take Gagagaganga ML but decided to stay away... first set quite close though!

[matt1216]

Gangbang! Taking it to Groth

[Cappinpicks]

great odds to fade groth

[Hardcoar]

Nadal may find it troublesome covering the spread with Giraffe serving first.

[Cappinpicks]

still can't get over what a fruitcake talentless piece of horse shit andrew rumgay is, maybe one day he'll stop defending 99% of the time

[Cappinpicks]

Code violation obscenity mr elias

[slayer14]

nadal playing good level of tennis cappinpicks

[charley365]

wow raonic serve is a monster, is it better than isner?
very impressive!

[slayer14]

raonic all round game is poor though

[slayer14]

nadal is too defensive here he is letting roanic dictate play

[charley365]

is it lump on nadal time
1.69

[matt1216]

wow raonic serve is a monster, is it better than isner?
very impressive!

Lol, it's much better than isners... And about 2-3mph faster.

[slayer14]

i would not trust nadal he is known to tank these tournament matches

[slayer14]

spanish bookies want nadal beat today

[Marillion]

It's the first time I see Groth play. Does he always play serve and volley or he's tired and wants to end the points shortly? He missed badly in the several rallies I've seen on Garanganga's serve.

[slayer14]

yeah groth does it every point

[Hardcoar]

i would not trust nadal he is known to tank these tournament matches

You would not trust Nadal, and he is known to tank matches in this tournament.

Am I reading that correctly?

Slayer, Raonic was at Duece 3/6 Raonic service games. Just lucky IMO.
