Nadal out here abusing the pace of play rules like usual when he's trailing.

Took an eternity after the first set and held the match up; after a couple games in the second he took extra long on the bench; been pushing the serve clock to zero numerous times without warning (exactly what they didn't do for Kyrgios); oh, and Fowler is in the booth with his pom poms out for him at every turn for these bullshyt antics that nobody else gets away with.

Finally gave this prick a time violation warning and he's throwing a fit. I respect you less for stanning Nadal, @malbaker86

 

[Regular_P]

Nadal had a meltdown on his serve, got broken and then went to a tournament official to complain about the time warning.

Crazy watching Rafa be a mental midget. He should be up 2 sets by now

He's such a brat. If the chair ump at the US Open Final did their job and gave him a warning and didn't allow his stalling bullshyt on Daniil's serve, he probably woulda had a meltdown in the fifth there too.

 

[Regular_P]

Big facts. He's the only person on tour that this happens with. Even Novak isn't this bad.

It's go big or go home on serve for Rafa.

I like Thiem, I really do. Hope he can win a slam one day. He should.

It's a thing of beauty when he grips and rips

All the top players are, that's what makes them great

Fed chewed out a lines judge snitching on him for cursing

Nole bounces the ball 100 times and hits near 0 a lot on serve

Thiem puts his whole body into ever shot, its crazy to see

Thiem's outgrinding him and winning every big point.

It really is a thing to see.

He about to win this in straight sets by the look of it

Right and for whatever reason, he's now going DTL with his forehand.

Could still lose this second

 

[Regular_P]

Thiem wins the second breaker.

I gotta tap out soon. Two sets and over two hours.
