Nadal gonna get blasted off the court by Zverev. Keep dropping the ball off short into his strike zone. I fukking feel it

 

[ThaGlow]

Nadal's top spin balls stay sitting right up for a taller opponents to crack dat shyt

Zverev blew this tiebreak on his first serve. Shoulda won both points.

 

[Regular_P]

Damn, Zverev came back and won the next two points off Nadal's serve. I'm impressed.

Edit: Then blew the first point on his serve on a drop shot into the net. The struggles of a young player.

If his body fills out , he's going to be a PROBLEM. Zverev got everything you would like in a top player expect hands at the net which will come in time

He's cramping now so he may be done. Hope this doesnt end in an anti climax.

these are things young players get! He will learn from this and his conditioning will improve with time and experience.

Give it a year or two when Murray/Djokovic slide down rankings, Nadal/Federer will be done and Wawrinka/Tsonga/Berdych that group will all be near retirement... and Zverev will clean up and be a dominant number 1 till someone steps up (Krygios?)

Novak won the career grand slam and is on mode. It's crazy because after Fed won the career FO in 2009 he went on to win Wimbledon, lose in 5 sets in USO final to Delpo, then win the 2010 AO. After Rafa won the career grand slam in 2010, he went on to make 5 of the next 6 grand slam finals with two wins. Novak gotta manufacture motivation from somewhere.
