If he couldn’t do it on clay, he can’t do it in any other grand slam from now on. The steroids are no longer enough at age 35. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,992 Posted June 12, 2021 Caught part of the 3rd set, those dudes are freakish talented - but questions: Why was Nadal ranked 3rd, why did he have to face Joker in the semis? How many butt picks did Nadal have? I took the over at 100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Blue 06 195 Posted June 12, 2021 That match was fantastic. It’s seemed to last 10 hours but I would have watched it for another 10. I’ve been watching the other big names in the tournament and there are some shots that I saw yesterday where I’m convinced nobody else can make them. My only question is whether Novak has a letdown for the final now that he performed the near impossible here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just checked the stats and he had 415 serves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's another: If tennis wants to eat at the big boy table, be given the same respect that other sports get - they have to be judged with the same scrutiny that they are... If a MLB or NBA team goes up 3-0 in the Finals, then loses 4 straight, even if they go to OT in game 7, they're getting roasted....... labeled Choke Artists for life. How are the ATL Falcons viewed? Up 28-9 in the SB, headed to 4th qrt. - they blew it. Does it really matter that they lost in OT - that lessen the choke stigma? I really don't know, not much of a tennis follower - just joshing you really....... But it is a good debate - I'm sure that dude feels like he gagged it away if nothing else.

The thing in your favor, for your argument. Tennis is the only 1 v 1 sport in the world. No teammates to blame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
