[AnonymousFan]

Hopefully better than the SFs and F on both sides so far which were one sided

Brad Gilbert just predicted Rafa in 3 or 4.

Yes, it's on the main page of the forum.

Mixed reception for Danill as he's been introduced. No surprises there.

 

[Vince Evert]

Nadal in 5 sets, match will be as close as their USO 2019!

thnx Trent

 

[don_fabio]

I'm on a radio at least, not bad at all. Should be a fun match, plenty on a line.

 

[tented]

Rafa elected to serve first.

 

[Vince Evert]

Did not show that here as we're in a flaming commercial. Channel 9 has a monopoly on Grand Slams tennis this year here.

 

[Vince Evert]

Just heard as C9 came back from commercials that the roof is open, will that favour one player or the other, do you reckon?

 

[tented]

Rafa loves an open roof, so I would say advantage to him in that respect. If it's hot and humid, though, that could bother Rafa.

 

[Vince Evert]

Yes warm evening around 26 degrees they just said.

 

[tented]

Cahill just predicted Rafa in 4

 

[don_fabio]

I don't see weather as a factor here. They just mentioned a little breeze, so I guess nice conditions for great match. Open roof is always better for Rafa, pshicologically as well.

 

[Vince Evert]

Yeah but i wanna see a barnburner in 5 sets go to Nadal !

 

[tented]

OK, here we go!

 

[Vince Evert]

Here we go.

 

[Vince Evert]

Huge ROAR !!!

Well played first point to take Medvedev off court, then hit behind him.
