Straight sets victory for Nadal. Sets up the clash with Federer!!

 

[Mcfrank]

I am going to the Monkish Beer Festival tomorrow, so i will be very drunk while trying to hold my phone steady and watch.

 

[DrWong]

After 2017 I am no longer worried about Fed vs Nadal. The 2017 AO was pure cathartic joy.

So right now I'm quite worried since Nadal took a MTO and is not looking so good

I think most of Fed' fans are now looking forward to those duel.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Fed is 15-23 against Nadal all time. 39%

 

[Mcfrank]

But why

 

[Sax]

lol, reminds me of Brandon Sanderson or Patrick Rothfuss signing each other's books that they find in airport book stores as they travel on book tours, just for fun.

 

[TheDestructiveSquirrel]

Andreescu won the first set and the 2 big sports networks in Canada aren't showing the match =/ Does TSN only have rights to the men's matches?

 

[bigred50]

TVA Sports is showing it en Francis

Ridiculous though that TSN or Sportsnet can't show it on one of the dozen channels they have.

Yea, you'd think TSN would have one channel to spare for it, I get that the NCAA games on right now are a bigger deal but TSN 2 is showing old UFC

They've usually been good at finding a way to show Canadian matches when they get this far in tournaments so I'm a bit surprised


Looks like she won :D

Canadian in the finals! Now Raonic needs to win tomorrow

 

[Niraj]

Impressive win there.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Kerber is in peak form right now...she completely broke down Bencic' game. Kerber v. Andreescu in the final

 

[NekoNeko]

well done Angie! go and win it.

Unfortunate but TVA won the exclusivity and are the main broadcaster for the WTA...not that they dont do a good job but they only start coverage of the quarter finals and even sometimes the semi and final for the tournanments,even the big ones like Indian Wells.

Anyway so happy for Andreescu,I hope she can upset Kerber and win it.

 

[NekoNeko]

Last time Nadal won against Federer, Djokovic had 6(!) GS.

 

[miserable]

Nadal pulled out of Miami. Not a good sign :(

 

[NekoNeko]

Fuck

 

[BorkBork]

Damnit I wanted my Fedal match. :(

 

[sam777]

Expected after yesterday, when he was in some pain

 

[Deadman]

Dodges to stop the h2h getting ever closer.

 

[NekoNeko]

well hopefully he can bag 101 tho.

 

[EvilChameleon]

And so, Federer/Nadal must wait for another day.

 

[Niraj]

Oh well.

 

[miserable]

Rafa has missed or has retired due to injury in 15 of the last 18 hard court tournaments

 

[BorkBork]

He's withdrawn from Miami, too. Resting up for the clay season, as he should at this point.

 

[Sax]

Damn, was looking forward to the match, irrational PTSD aside =P At least he'll likely be recovered for the clay season.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Dammit Nadal, your body has always been your biggest opponent

Is it even worth playing them, considering this? Slams I get, but maybe a reduction in general would be better for him. Maybe just skip the sunshine double? Or stick with only Miami.

 

[TheDestructiveSquirrel]

Damn

Raonic had his chances =/


Looks like DAZN has the WTA rights for Canada........when did that happen?

 

[perfectchaos007]

Thiem and Fed final. I think Fed will dominate

 

[NekoNeko]

Nadal on HC since 2017

DC: w/d
Basel: w/d
Paris: w/o
London: w/o
Brisbane: w/d
AO: retired
Acapulco: w/d
IW: w/d
Miami: w/d
Toronto: CHAMPION
Cincy: w/d
US Open: retired
Beijing: w/d
Shanghai: w/d
Paris: w/d
London: w/d
Brisbane: w/d
AO: Lost in Finals
Acapulco: R2
IW: w/o

maybe he shoud consider skipping everything besides the slams.

 

[AoM]

Tomorrow will be the fifth Federer/Thiem meeting.

 

[Ricker]

C'mon Bianca...one last set.

 

[Sax]

I'm hoping Andreescu can pull it off but she looks like she's running on fumes -_-

 

[Ricker]

Crap,Andreescu called for a medical time out...

I'm hoping Andreescu can pull it off but she looks like she's running on fumes -_-

She always does that though if she is in long matches,she will need to tone that down as it makes it look even worst...

 

[Sax]

Wow \o/. Now hopefully Fed can do it a bit quicker ;D

 

[Ricker]

Yes,she did it....grats to Andreescu...

 

[AoM]

Poor Kerber lol.

 

[Ricker]

Andreescu just won 4 times her career earnings ;)

 

[TheDestructiveSquirrel]

Wish I could have watched it

Biggest win by a Canadian ever!

18 year old winning 1.3 million dollars, good job

 

[bigred50]

What a match! Amazing for Bianca

 

[DrWong]

What a big tournament/win by Andreescu.

 

[DrWong]

I think Fed returned all the service to his backhand in the second game, without slicing.

 

[AoM]

Expecting Thiem to come back since I don't trust Federer to raise his level.

 

[Mcfrank]

Hopefully fed can find his first serve in the 3rd

 

[NekoNeko]

This feels like an L

 

[AoM]

That chance for 0-40 will cost Federer the match.

Also, I'm surprised Thiem hasn't blown out his shoulder with all these forehands.

 

[Omzz]

Is federer gonna hit something

 

[sam777]

When Thiem is flowing he is unstoppable

 

[AoM]

Old Federer in a nutshell. He can't raise his level anymore.

 

[DrWong]

Again, age showing its weight.
