Painful to watch. Admire him for carrying on.

I've just turned it on, what has he done?

Hurt his back, could barely play second set.

It seems to have affected Wawrinka now, he's lost his momentum.

I assume he will get his shit together but Rafa seems to have found a plan.

Still not got his serve speed back yet though. A big disadvantage for Rafa

I read that as "Stan currently gone mental" which is also correct.
Although he seems to be getting his shit back together as I type.

Who'd have thought it. Rafa wins the third. Stan is shot mentally.
Is it serious has he run out of PED's or something?

well he was going a little mental during Rafa's medical timeout wasn't he. I feel a bit sorry for him but needs to keep focus and didn't really need to get involved then
Rafa was 6/1 half an hour ago

He definitely let it rattle him, not really sure what is problem was, I was only half watching that bit.

Rafa looking better facing serve at the moment.

he had the hump because the umpire wouldn't give him the reason for Rafa's time out. Said he had a right to know - think he just believed Rafa was playing mind games.
glad to see he's back on track though, as much as Nadal's determination is admirable I'd quite like to see a Slam winner outside of the top few

Stan a worthy winner. I think he would have won anyway without Rafa's injury, but we will never know for sure. Stan now up to no 3 in the world.
Libel?
I guess, perhaps that should be a more generic 'have THEY run...'

Injuries will always be a big part of sport. No one likes to see an injury and I feel sorry for rafa and admire him for carrying on. Stan played a fine game of tennis though. He beat Novak in the semis as well so congratulations on winning a slam. Nice to see another name win!
