Watching tennis trying to take my mind off the Kobe tragedy; couldn't watch basketball at all. Looks like Stan and Medvedev are going five.

Joker was a Kobe fan and called him a lot when he was going through his injuries a few years ago. He was Kobe's favorite tennis player too. Probably gonna win this for LA's GOAT now.

Nick got the #8 Kobe jersey on

Kyrgios wearing the GOAT jersey. He gotta win this match.

Kyrgios crying.

Kyrgios is an NBA fan so no doubt he stanned Kobe.

Kyrgios wearing the GOAT jersey. He gotta win this match.

Nadal and Fed wore special made Kobe's in Monte Caro in 2016 honoring the date he retired.

You already spoke on Novak's and Kobe's relationship.

Man he was JUST at the US Open last year on special guest commentary talking about his children's book series and how he loves tennis. Found this other interview man. fukk this get me bruhs



said Novak is the GOAT to him cause that's his dude

 

[malbaker86]

This match is as good as expected.

 

[Yapdatfool]

This match is over... Nick man.
Has every shot in the arsenal except the correct one when the situation asks for it. Credit to Rafa the BH is very solid and putting him in winning positions.

Nice fightback by Nick

This is the most motivated ive seen him play

 

[Formerly known as...]

Problem for Nick is he just played a 5 set marathon the other day, he must feel much tireder than Nadal.

Either way Winner of this may be food for Thiem come next round.

 

[Egomaniacal1]

Great match, I love watching these two and Kyrios was focused just the greatness of Rafa was to much.

 

[Formerly known as...]

• Rafael Nadal (Spa, 1) vs Dominic Thiem (Aut, 5)
• Stan Wawrinka (Sui, 15) vs Alexander Zverev (Ger, 7)
• Tennys Sandgren (US) v Roger Federer (Sui, 3)
• Milos Raonic (Can, 32) v Novak Djokovic (Ser, 2)

Dope.
