Tennis Thread: Australian Open 2019 & onwards..........

[magimedi]

Hope it's OK for me to start a new thread - could not believe we'd burned out on the last one.

Am looking forward to seeing highlights of the Fed/Tits match later.

Damn
Vamos!

Yes, I am a bit.

Rafa needs to regroup now, as they say. Some good signs in the last couple of games.

Sorry Mats, I stopped listening to you then.

Not panicking yet but definitely very nervous.
He Needs to press Djokovic here somehow, start the set strongly

What the heck!

What is wrong with him?

He's not getting close to breaking his serve, and if this goes to a tie break, Rafa will be in more trouble, I think.

Typical- first Wimbledon with the roof- now Melbourne's weather is against him!

Oh blimey.

Don’t really know what’s going on with Rafa but I’m not enjoying this at all. He’s struggling to hold his serve and has had no chance at all against Djokovic serve. He’s making loads of unforced errors

Nor am I Fizzy

Come on Rafa! Will the real Rafa please stand up!!

I said all along, I could cope with him losing to anyone else.

This is going to be quicker than his semi final, if something doesn't change quickly, and I can't see it doing.

Aaargh

Anyone any good at praying?

I'm not enjoying this at all. Vamos Rafa.

Rafa might have a long way to go before he panics but I'm there already Mats!!

I want last January's Djok back.

I'm sort of in shock. This is not what was supposed to happen!!

Private no, it's not.

I think Rafa is panicking... or something I'd going on anyway...

I think Rafa needs a strategic toilet break - I am panicking already Mats

He needs one of those massages Federer had in 2017

Nothing, at all, is going Rafa's way today.

It’s as if he’s forgotten how to play . Some of his shot choices seem a bit questionable. I wonder if it’s because he’s changed his game and then doesn’t know how to deal with Djokovic? Who knows.

Fizzy yes I wonder.

This is just not enjoyable...
