Because he let a clearly injured man beat him, if Nadal knew how bad he was he shoulda retired before end of tiebreaker

[Milltown Row2]

Fcuk that. People like him aren't programmed to do anything else but win. The way it should be.

I get that, I'd just feel short changed if I was a punter that got lucky enough to have tickets for mens semi finals day at Wimbledon

Nadal out 

Gutted. Glad he didn't pull out when losing like the majority do. The fact he won was very impressive

If I was the guy that he beat in the quarter final then I would be very pissed off. Why don't they let the beaten quarterfinalist play?

Because he lost, obviously.

Tough, the rules don't care for whether you have a ticket or not. If Nadal can't play his opponent advances, simple really. You'll get your refund.

I thought it was class, usually you see someone who's losing pull out "injured" the fact that he played on, won and then pulled out is very refreshing. He didn't look for the easy way out

Agreed.  The fella he beat wasn't good enough and I'm sure the players are playing each game as it comes and not thinking about the next day out.  It was crazy to see Nadal winning given he was basically hitting 2nd serves for a lot of the match.

Despite their best efforts the Brits couldn't stop a Russian winning Wimbledon. She doesn't seem too bothered about it all.

Raducanu was beaten in the first round of the US open after winning it last year. Why has she failed to reach the heights she reached last year? Is it because shortly after winning the US Open she replaced her coaching team with a new coaching team? It doesn't seem to have helped.

Probably won it a couple of years too early in her development, but no one can take that away from her now.. Few years to mature and develop further, she could get better just very patchy at the minute with her form

Has she not changed coaches a few times. Maybe it was just a lucky win, I would nearly guess that she has lost more than she has one since last year's US open win.
