The Official Tennis Thread (Vol. 2024 US Open)

[quell]

Yeah probably

 

[shooz]

Rafa has too much pride to just retire...and I think he's waiting for the painkillers to kick in..could take 30 min, if he survives that long

 

[quell]

Rafa has lost his last 4 Slam finals when he's lost the 1st set & hasn't come back from a set down to win a Slam final since 2006 French.

ESPN soaking this up too.

What are they saying?

Well, he may well be injured but they didn't wait so much as a game to already say he wasn't right and it couldn't be.

He's probably injured but he was getting dominated so I'll raise my brow initially.

 

[quell]

Pospisil looked just as bad physically against Ebden, and he ended up winning in 4 sets.

 

[thadangerousmind]

Stan better step it up before the pain killers kick in. Don't show him any mercy.

 

[651akathepaul]

This is dumb.

I was super excited to stay up for this and now I have no idea what to believe.

 

[firepower]

Didn't want Stan to win like this, sad to see.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

This is completely unbelievable. Never have seen anything like this before.

I give props for Rafa for riding this out. I hope the pain killers kick in soon so we can get the match we deserve to see.

 

[quell]

Yeah I didn't believe him at first. Injury is legit though

 

[eiddyfouw]

He's moving around a bit more..not much..but a bit...

 

[mr marcus]

I think his injury is legit

Epic nadal comeback here

 

[quell]

Henin quit against Mauresmo when the latter was spanking her *** so hard I felt the pain through my computer screen.

She said she was so sick she couldn't play on. Within 60 mins she was spotted carrying her own bags out to her car.

 

[thadangerousmind]

Stan checked out mentally?

Epic nadal comeback here

 

[Sinner]

I know the haters/trolls on the tennis forum will be saying he's faking, but just watch his movement and especially the serve (first to go on back injuries).

And no, you don't sacrifice an entire set just for the sake of gamesmanship.  That's just stupid. 

 

[thadangerousmind]

These serve speeds are Radwanska like from Nadal. They should be getting creamed.

I'm hoping we get a pick up here.

Surely, you're not implying..............

 

[Sinner]

Wow, Stan has checked out. 

 

[651akathepaul]

Wow, Stan has checked out. 

He thought Nadal was dunzo.

 

[Sinner]

Rafa's still spinning his serves in... no lift... all arm.  

 

[thadangerousmind]

Welp. Nadal is only going to get better through the rest of the match. Once the dope kicks in it might be too late for Stan.

 

[frank 7he t4nk]

Smh.
