Has posters soften a bit for Rafa after seeing Roger interact with him so comfortably???
Not me either. I was chanting USA USA USA for Isner Rafa didn't get to be the hero, for now. I am so happy Isner won. It's a rare chance for me to be patriotic. I hope Roger beats Nick, and I also hope he doesn't kill himself doing it. No mater what the result is, Roger's event has been a great success and he should be extremely proud. GO ROGERRR

Yes he should be proud. AND he also has the rest of the year to look out for. They will still have a chance with the dubs, RIGHT?

Man, I kinda thought Europe had the Cup in a bag, especially after Sasha won. I admit that I was cheering for Rafa because I knew Kyrgios could be trouble for Roger and so it is proving. Would be nice if Roger could find the AO/IW/Miami BH again. So far, his BH is not holding up against Kyrgios.

Break him, Roger! Gooo!!!!!

Ok, Roger! Win the second and the super tie-break, ok? It is your tournament, our boy!

Why do they keep saying 13 points for victory??

Too bad he gifted the break in the first set. Frustrating to see Kyrgios save all those BPs by attacking Roger's BH. Ugh... brings back such bad memories. Wish he could find that new-and-improved BH from earlier this year - been MIA for a while now.

Nick is playing like it's the Olympics, he loves to score against the Fed. He is really good but Oh boy .. it still hurts to see Roger lose to him. He celebrates really big, rubbing it in. pfffffffffffffffffft Come on Rog ..

Because you have to get at least 13 points to win. If Roger wins this match, Europe will have 15 points, so they would win. If Kyrgios wins, World team would have 12 points which isn't enough to win. They would be tied at that point, which is why they would play a 1-set doubles match for "winner take all".

Kyrgios rises to the occasion whenever he plays one of the very top guys. His problem is that he doesn't bring it every week like this.

Well, regardless of who wins, The Laver Cup itself has been a huge win for Roger and Team8.

Hello chaps!

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!

Roger breaks! Now hold, Darling Boy!!

Edit - well of course Nick, or any player will try to rise to the challenge - why else would they play? And to beat Roger is probably the ultimate for most. COME ON ROGER!!

Pppppffffttttttttttttt! Damn & blast. That was not the plan, Roger. Anyway, it is back on serve, so let's see what happens.

by Márcia Sun Sep 24, 2017 6:03 pm

by striker Sun Sep 24, 2017 6:04 pm
