NADAL vs the American Fritz in the final........(mens) (spoiler so far)

[a kennedy]

Fritz is up 4 - 1 over NADAL 1st set.…..I think NADAL is just tired….he’s been fighting for his tennis life for the last three days…… I like Fritz….but he’s got the upper hand with Rafa being older, and not that there’s anything wrong with that…..but he’s tired, hurt, and older. JMHO.

[bahboo]

1. both players seem compromised a bit....but yes, Nadal more....

match seems a little anti-climactic after yesterday's semis....

2. Fritz injured his ankle yesterday and interrupted practice today

Because of it. Both of these warriors are probably playing with pain, after very tough previous matches.

3. Stress fracture and cracked rib
