Well it is on grass with an archaic facility where matches are 2 days.
NONE of these guys will be around this long at the US Open.
But since Anderson isn't american.... GOOOO Anderson. Wont' be watching though. I hate Isner as much as Tomic and Kyrgios.

Isner is far worse than Kyrgios, Kyrgios might tank games but he's at least entertaining.

Remember the good ole days when as soon as you were on the wrong side of 27, your career was essentially over?
Nadal - 32
Anderson - 32
Isner - 33
Federer - 37
Del Potro - 29
Djokovic - 31
Nishikori - 28
Raonic - 27
This is a bad loss for Milos and there's really no sugar coating it, but there's some time left to try to get that elusive major.

Maybe Milos can find a late career major, but at this point you'd have to saw Denis is far more likely to be Canada's first major champion. Still, Milos showed really no heart today, which is too bad as we watch DelPo showing mega heart out there right now.

I've been one of his biggest advocates and this was a tellling sign to me that he simply doesn't have the will to win the big events.
The loss isn't the biggest thing, it's the way he went down, choking in the second set tie-break and then acting like one of the Queen's guard the rest of the match almost made me sick watching. Hopefully there is more to this injury front than was let on because as it stands now I'm not at all impressed with what I saw from the big guy today.

DelPo on the other hand showed plenty of heart. What a warrior.

Wow I'm blown away with the brilliant Nadal Del Potro match. It may be the greatest match i've ever seen it was that good. Both men laid it on the line and were making insane shots, including several diving shots.
There is still plenty of room on the Nadal bandwagon guys! Would be one of the most unlikely major wins of all time. No one was picking him to do anything at Wimbledon this year (myself included).

What kind of utter ####ing horse#### is this? The Nadal fan victim mentality is embarrassing. Better for the sport for Novak to win, clearly.

Hahahaha, no kidding. "The #1 ranked player in the world just won a major tournament he's won twice before! TOTALLY UNPREDICTABLE! Completely eclipses Michael Chang!

I mean even Novak winning would be less expected than Nadal. Just a bizarre statement.

Rosol, Darcis, Kyrgios, Brown, Muller. Those are the last 5 people to beat Nadal at Wimbledon not exactly world beaters. Senator you even said Nadal had a 0% chance of winning Wimbledon before the event started.

Awesome, glad a random internet poster can single handily make Nadal winning seem like the greatest, most unexpected victory in the history of the sport. Just stop embarrassing yourself, this is just your attempt to make this seem like a stunning accomplishment. This is also a way to make it seem like nothing when he loses to Novak Friday.

The big question, if true, is why?
At this point he supposedly had his leg issues resolved as a matter of training intensity, rest etc. If it is still happening after all this time and adjustment, I wold wager he is never going to kick the issue for any substantial length of time.

Presumably, at this point, everyone who isn't a Nadal fan is pulling for Djokovic. There's the underdog return story, combined with the Federer people who don't want to see the gap close any more in terms of total majors.

I'll cheer for Nadal to win Wimbledon if he does one of these press conferences after Djokovic.
