Warwinka just needs to get his focus back and play a simple game. All he needs to do is force Nadal into a movement game. Move him around, make him go to the ball rather than hitting it into Nadal's zone.
How the hell has Rafa taken the third set? Just unbelievable. Tremendous fight from him (why I love Rafa!) but Stan should have finished this by now. At the very least a bit of pride intact when he eventually loses the match in 4.

Absolutely, the only reason Rafa took that set was because Stan was being an idiot and hitting the ball central and into Rafa's strike zone, which he start clobbering hard and flat.
A bit more pace on the serve for Rafa. Interesting.

Stan started off absolutely dominating Nadal, broke him early on in the the second before Rafa started rolling his serve in. Apparently a back related injury and Rafa took an MTO. Struggled until the third set where he started to improve and won it by simply smashing balls that got into his hit zone.

Wawrinka should have this though, just has to hold serve really.


You've got nothing to contribute but hate on Nadal. Get out unless you have anything else to say.

He seems to have the worst luck at the Aussie Open! I expected to wake up to see that Nadal has won in straights! Like I said sport is so unpredictable!

The crowd was booing him when it became known that he was injured and then suddenly when he was playing well in the 4th set, they loved him again.

That's tennis crowds for you (apart from the French, who only bum Federer). Just hilariously short memories and relentlessly fickle.

The awards ceremony should be really funny.

Lol Nadal is one of the best, if not best fighters in tennis ever. Period. Best clay court player. No doubt. I just personally think he's ok. I will not be leaving as I have ever right to be here thank you.
