Nadal fully in control in the 2nd - a flurry of BPs

Fed's BH has been excellent tonight. That forehand has been so up and down, we've had Shiterer and Shankerer and Jesus-Fed all in one.

fed ends with a bullet BH for the longest rally in the match
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 29 January 2017 11:50 (seven years ago) link
Nadal's resistance vs Fed's is such a great winding of the clock back. Nostalgia evaporates.
Another BP but will he take it?
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 29 January 2017 11:56 (seven years ago) link

Hes like 58-42 on points this set. About time he got something to show.
Nadal is such an incredible big point player.

its in! 18th slam title - the greatest of them all!
I was way too tense to look at this thread, much less post on it, for the duration of that match. Astonishing stuff.
― Michael Jones, Sunday, 29 January 2017 12:18 (seven years ago) link
Lol at Fed blocking his fanboy Goffin from the top ten
― oh, boy, .GIF! That's where I'm a Viking! (edwardo), Sunday, 29 January 2017 12:22 (seven years ago) link
God Basil Zempilas is an inept TV host and an embarrassing MC

Missed most of the final set cause I was chasing a story but yay, old man Fed! Fabulous match.
Sorely needed this, and Serena's win, after the utterly dispiriting news of the past couple of days.
― Roz, Sunday, 29 January 2017 12:25 (seven years ago) link
Yeah its lifted my spirits too.
