Cobham 1,569 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Going to have to do it the hard way in typical Andy style. Never makes anything easy for himself. However, Wawrinka hits the ball at some rate!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the goal machine 7,802 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Wawrinka's unplayable when he's at his best. Deserved win. That was an encouraging tournament though for Murray after the year he's had so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the goal machine 7,802 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 This is like one of the Nadal v Federer matches at the French. Nadal's a stylistic nightmare for players with one handed backhands on this surface. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Persson 547 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Cannot see this other semi going any other way than Nadal. At a set down, young Thiem is having to work so hard for every point. His natural and brilliant crosscourt backhand, feeds right into Nadals best side. This young guy takes some toll on his body with every bit of his weight and sinew going into those forehands.

Orange Persson 547 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 At two sets to love, Nadal has dominated and forced Thiem to hurry on every shot. Nadal's driving shots into corners have ground Thiem down. The young mans previous win on clay, where he stood on or inside baseline for serve and rallies, has been impossible to implement. Nadal's serve and groundstrokes have seen to that. When Nadal serves well, it is actually one of the best,given the swerve and placement he gets. Great second serve too.

Orange Persson 547 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Yes guys the interesting thing here is how Stans game will stand up to this Animal form from Nadal. This is Stan and he has massive experience compared to Thiem, but is he going to be hangin on, or can he impose in any of these sets? It is the match ups that are fascinating. I mean, Nadal does not care if you hit flat to him, slice to him,or topspin and force him to stand further back. Will Stans flat hitting be effective? I would love a competitive match. Big Sod found a way remember. It would be a massive surprise but there are many in tennis. I am just going to enjoy it and know that Rafa is best ever on clay and the complete legend at Roland Garros. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Persson 547 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 You can see the massive pressure that Stan is under on all these points. It is a wearing down process. Thiem was worn down like this. Lets hope Stan is more resilient and has a few more tricks. Needs to serve well and set up that big forehand.
