Nadal V Kyrgios

[ChillDoubt]

For anyone not watching, this is a cracker. Nadal has lost the first set true to current form but is by no means on track for a comeback just yet, games going with serve and the young Kyrgios is not fazed by the occasion, he's positively revelling in it and going for everything.
It's got the makings of a ripper.

[Eve]

I'm watching, it's a fantastic game, I'm gripped too!

[ChillDoubt]

OMG did you see THAT!!!!

[Eve]

Wow, that was quite something haha! Bet he couldn't even re-create it if he tried!!! I almost hoped Nadal would go shake his hand over the net :)

I honestly couldn't call this one!

[ChillDoubt]

Kyrgios has got a nonchalant swagger about him, what a temperament for such a match.

[Eve]

I know, it's so different! Quite something to seem that calm while playing such an opponent!


Rafa does like bouncing them balls doesn't he!

Sad to hear the Williams sisters pulled out of the doubles in such circumstances.

[ChillDoubt]

Not heard about that Eve, what's the story?

[ChillDoubt]

Just read it on the BBC site, they've forfeited.
Injury, or things not going their way and the teddy has been thrown?

[jim360]

Apparently Serena couldn't even serve straight, something to do with vision.

[ChillDoubt]

Thanks jim.
Meanwhile, Kyrgios is playing like he's having a knockabout with a mate at an exhibition match, despite the intensity of it.

[Eve]

Yep, she wasn't well, such a shame to pull out that way.

[ChillDoubt]

The unshakable Kyrgios comes under pressure, serving to stay in the set, couple of bad errors but he's back on track in a flash, 30-30.

[Eve]

He looks so much more relaxed and natural, none of the killer focus of many of the others at that level.

[Eve]

Oooh set point...again...

[ladybirder]

She was almost in tears on court. Anyway, Nadal and Kyrgios 1 set each. Game on!

[Eve]

Just heard Sharapova is out! Anyone know how Lisicki is doing?

[ChillDoubt]

The 19 year ols Aussie looks like he should be serving in a London bar, not currently taking on the world number 1 at SW19.
That said, he loses the second set. We could be set for a classic here folks.

[ChillDoubt]

Lisicki got through Eve.

[Eve]

Really sad to see, all the build up to be knocked out by a viral infection, such a shame. She looked so (understandably) upset.

[Eve]

Could be a fight "to the death" tiebreaker!!! Could have made a good final this.

Thanks Chill, I really felt for her in last year's final and hoped she'd do well this year.

[jim360]

I'm really looking forward to Lisicki v. Halep. Think it could be a classic match. Would love to see Lisicki win the title this year, but I expect Halep to come through in that match.
