born a blue nose 90,720 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I love watching sportsmen who are right on the edge of there abilities though. Formula 1 too when you know that a person is pushing to the absolute limit. Gets ma winky hard Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Persson 547 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Nadal, fresh and top form. Stan can play better but might not get the chance. Stan's backhand is better on a faster court when players attack the net. He is too far back to hit his winners from that wing, with a guy who covers the court like Rafa. The serve is so good that Stan cannot hit out a winner from backhand either. Stan is doing no better than Thiem at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Took Nadal at -6.5 at 10-11. Looks like the easiest money ever. The guy is just incredible....... born a blue nose and eejay the dj 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Feel sorry for Stan at times. He's playing some great shots in some rallies but Nadal is just a phenomenon! Rangers_no1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Betting on Nadal to break Stan in each game could be decent value in the 3rd. He'll defo do it once, very possible more than once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Persson 547 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Stan is shell shocked. When he came to the net and did nothing with the volley. Rafa watches the ball though in that running winner. It is the minds eye that knows where the target is..........like a good striker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieD 18,892 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 That inside out forehand moving backwards from Rafa was fucking ridiculous. That right there is why I don't like him. He has some of the best attacking weapons in the history of the sport but plays mostly defensive tennis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Persson 547 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 You see Stan hit his best shot crosscourt and it is run down and returned. On the faster court, Stan is used to that being nothing more than a get. I don't see why Rafa cannot come in and win Wimbledon now. Yeah, I know it's a different surface etc. He was winning Wimbledon and Roland Garros consecutive before though and beating natural grass court players. The key thing is that he is back to his peak. Get enough practice on the grass..... eejay the dj 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a weird thing (could be common) where I seem to associate and like sportsmen that are left handed/footed due to me also being a lefty Carlos, albertz, gio spring to mind. I actually feel left footers have a better strike overall tbh, probably an unfounded assumption though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually feel left footers have a better strike overall tbh, probably an unfounded assumption. Not that I'm comparing myself to a top sportsman, but I'm two-footed, I feel perfectly comfortable kicking a ball with both feet, but I have definitely scored far more screamers on the volley with my left foot than my right, so there may be something to that Can't think why it would be though. born a blue nose 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
