Tennis!

Rosol now is up 5-3 in the third after edging the second set against Nadal. He surely isn't going to beat the great Rafa?

[Baddar]

Sorry I was a bit koi about saying battered.

I was with you Ace, don't worry!

[IAceI]

Thanks Baddar. I wasn't sure whether it was the time or the plaice.

[Baddar]

Btw Kats, do you like fish sticks?

[Adam]

Rosol has brilliantly broken Nadal in the first game of the final set. Holy shit...

[IAceI]

Well this is something, let's just hope Rosol doesn't get too tight at the crunch time. I love the roof making the serves of Rosol sound like a shotgun going off.

[MJB]

Here we go then. This is Rosol's chance.

[IAceI]

He can't miss his serve! He hasn't even looked like choking in this game. Insane.

[therockbox]

fucking hell

[Guest mr. potato head]

Holy shit tuned in just in time to see the last serve

[MJB]

Talk about playing the match of your life. Amazing stuff.

[IAceI]

Unfathomable tennis. He played such high risk/low percentage tennis for 5 sets and kept it up. That's just ridiculous.

[IAceI]

EDIT: So good I posted it twice.

Lukas Rosol, have my babies.

Irony is he'll probably go out in the next round.

[IAceI]

And probably very meekly too. That tennis isn't sustainable by any means, surely he can't always play like that.

This. He'll be so shattered mentally and physically.

[Adam]

That felt like watching a tournament final anyway. Even if Kohlschreiber triple bagels him in Round 3, Lukas Rosol will never forget this week and I doubt we will be forgetting him! That was unlike anything I've ever seen in tennis before.

[Katsuya]

He's playing Kohlschreiber, which will be a tough one.

To be honest, I think it's just going to be the case that Rosol has exactly the type of game that exposes Nadal. Never played each other before, so nobody will have seen it coming.

Blows that entire side of the draw open - especially because Lopez and Dolgopolov got knocked out too (as did Niemenen). Essentially, it's three absolute wildcard players and then Kohlschreiber, presumably up against Tsonga/Fish in the Quarters. Crazy.

[Lineker]

The missus' mum is gutted about Rafa! Great for Rosol though.

Just found out about Nadal :w00t:

If Federer can win this and reclaim # 1, that would be an amazing way to make up for the last 2 1/2 years.
