Wimbledon Day 8

First topic message reminder :

So we are nearing the business end of Wimbledon.

Federer is up against Robredo looking to avenge his US Open defeat last year.

Nadal will face the new kid on the block Kyrgios.

Wawrinka is up against Lopez and Raonic will face Nishikori.

On the ladies side Sharapova against Kerber.

Kvitova, Lisicki and Halep all in action.

Interestingly enough Wimbledon is the only event not to have Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray all clash in the Semi's. So could we see that duck get broken?

Come on feta cheese, melt him.

Nadal waiting for Kyrgios to blink.

Hold on Korgi, u can do it.

Kyrgios takes it.

Nadal far too passive in that TB.

Yessss what a shot.

Korgi needs to drop his body wallpapers and chains.

He's loosing in aerodynamics department, too much drag affecting his torque.

Now do you see why I don't rate him belonging to the same school of Tomic, this guy has the heart to fight, a complete different breed to Tomic.

Tomic if he had the heart to fight and work he would have been a Grandslam champ now or at the least would be a top 5 player.

All about Kyrios' mind now

Djokovic finally on Court 1 tomorrow!! And the winner of this one!! About time!

Last set of this match.

But how is body wallpapers take the blame for his lack of aerodynamics?

I guess his body wallpaper personifies who he is and he likes to be that way, an aggressive kid.

funny, nadal looked much better in this set than in the one he won

very very difficult right now.

Needs to get serious. His aussie friend Tomic, showed us what happens when u fool around and have talent. Nothing!

Kyrgios has very light hands for a big guy.

Nadal has got to up the aggression!

Who is the puberty voiced guy with Mac commenting?

Does Kyrios know he can challenge?

I was wondering that too.

He is awful!

Sounds like he is commenting from a 10 meter water well.

Nadal just doesn't know what to do.

He has to try and get some purchase on the Kyrgios serve.

Ronald McIntosh - he was commentating on Shvedova's golden set and failed to realise what had happened.

Korgi has a little of Rosset/Goran in him.

TSJ, thx, never heard of him.

Come on Korgi break him now and just serve the match.

Just a stroke of luck he mentioned it at the start of the set.

Holy mamma.

Uh oh

Brokennnnn

yessss

Kaboom!

Kyrgios breaks!!

Can't see Rafa breaking unless something changes

This guy Krygios has mastered the art of 'hit and hope' very well.

Three more holds for an upset? Come on Kid.

Kyrgios has got the heart and the physical prowess on Tomic, but the elder has the shots. There's time for Tomic yet but I won't expect too much from him.

So many UEs from Rafa

Beg to differ, Gerry!

Hit and hope?

Still think Rosol's fifth set was epic in sheer power of blowing Nadal out of court, but this great too

Full defence mode from Rafa

The slice just hasn't worked against Kyrgios.

You need something else Rafa

Better then slap and hope from Djoko   

Drop shot him, he doesn't have the movement to get to the net

I bet you this kinda game won't work against Federer, Djokovic or Murray.

Kyrgios 9/14 Net points vs Nadal 14/18.

Federer can slice par excellence, and Djokovic has a return and a BH that changes direction.

I wonder what Roger's thinking.

I will grant you this LF. I didn't expect this level of play from Kyrgios with all the hours he has clocked up on court.

I am very impressed!

Awful at the net there

Nadal does have the experience, so that might help.

Man, you CANNOT volley. Maybe he should do what other players who can't volley do and hire Boris Becker.
