Querrey is the worry imo, after this match. Querrey plays well on grass, was a semi- finalist here some time back; he had also won a title at Queens. He has a big serve and is good at the net.

Federer in three, as Pouille will tense up once he sees his idol across the net.

Pouille also played poorly against Djoko at the AO this year in the SF, losing in straight sets, saying that Djoko was the most […]

Tsonga’s BH is his weakness. Rafa will attack his BH most of the times. Tsonga’s serve not as great as Kyrgios’ so I think Rafa can and will handle that; Tsonga’s FH isn’t that great tbh so Rafa’s new improve […]

FAA is a bit like Rafa. Rafa lost in R3 (at Wimbledon) in his first ever slam appearance, at age 17 in 2003. FAA lost in R3 here in his first slam appearance. Rafa of course went on to win his first slam (at […]

What happened to FAA? Didn’t get to see the match; was he playing badly or Humbert playing that well to beat him in straight sets?

They’re not so bad, just lacking in big match experiences. Tsitsipas has already reached a slam SF at AO, beating Fed along the way before losing to Rafa there. At RG, he lost an epic five setter to Stan w […]

So happy that Rafa won and, he won two TBs in a match against a player like Kyrgios!

I’m just so happy that he won, not having much match play on grass. I hope this win will give him more confidence in his next match(es).

Why is Rafa standing so far right when returning serves from the deuce Court? Time and again Kyrgios would serve DTLT and Rafa simply couldn’t get to the ball!

Rafa really needs to improve in many areas of his game!

Rafa has the bad habit of always hitting to opponent’s BH corner even when his opponent is running towards that corner or is already camping at that corner. I think he should hit more to the open court instead.

Yes, thank God, Rafa finally wins a TB against Kyrgios and he’s 2 sets to 1 now!

The two sets of tennis are quite messy from Rafa, just so happy he finally wins the third set.

Come Rafa, calm down now, […]

See, Rafa should serve like that always and save all those running and rallying!

Now please break Kyrgios to win the set;he has so many chances but squander them away!

So stupid those two points! Can’t believe Rafa plays such dumb tennis to lose those two points! Ridiculous!

He’s not thinking clearly out there, letting Kyrgios gets into his head!

I don’t understand why Rafa is so tensed up! He’s not like that when he was younger. It’s like he’s not trusting his own game, so worried about so many things!

Come on Rafa, be calm and concentrates point by point!

It looks to me that Rafa is not feeling that confident, after losing the second set. He’s not serving like he did in set one, hard time ahead. I hope his fighting instinct is still there.

Rafa, just concentrate on your game, please don’t let Kyrgios’ antics get to you! This is a slam, don’t let anything distract you! Stay focused!

I can’t believe Rafa plays such a horrible set of tennis! Where have his serve gone? After the toilet break, everything fell apart!

Kyrgios wasn’t even playing all that well, it’s Rafa self destroying. What […]

What happened to Cilic? He’s about to lose in straight sets to Sousa the clay courter, on grass??

So if Kyrgios loses, it’s because he’s not motivated? Nothing to do with how Rafa played??

Didn’t you know Kyrgios was very motivated at Acapulco, yet he had to face MPs, before Rafa faltered and letting him […]

The grass courts dont look too slippery, in fact the grass courts look dry and worn out. I think it’s in 2013 that the grass courts were sleek and slippery, even Fed slipped and fell during one of his matches if […]

Hi VR, nice to see you posting here.

I doubt Kyrgios’s underarm serve is effective here as on grass, Rafa is not standing too far back to return serves.

I feel if Rafa is not too nervous, he should be […]
