And then he suprises you by playing "normal tennis" like the last two games. Evil fecker.
All the top players get that. Nadal just hasn't dealt with it well.
I still think Nadal will wear him down, but this is incredible.
"What Has He Done Wrong??"
They're being kind to him. He's allowing them to do it by playing badly.
Rosol, Darcis, Kyrgios and now Brown. This after making 5 Wimbledon finals in a row. Honestly, can't be arsed with Nadal's season anymore. It's plunged to unimagnable depths.
This has been a superb match to watch.
He keeps stealing balls 
When Brown wins a point he asks for the same ball, and when he loses a point he asks for the ball so that Rafa can't do the same.
Rafa is doing nothing on his serve.
Needs to get into Brown's service game
Nadal really needs to break here to have any sort of chance.
Another easy hold for Brown.
I think that will be that
Bloody hell. This guy has been rock solid all day. Brilliant.
Looks like Nadal’s done. I’d be surprised if he ever manages to win another GS.
It's going to take Nadal all of this year to figure out how to play in this current state.
He's 29. He can win another French.
That's an unusual way to describe it, but I suppose, in a way, yeah...
He needs another coach. Djokovic hired Becker and Federer with Edberg.
He doesn't need to get rid of Toni. But someone with a different approach.
Won't be easy though.
I feel like I need to go and watch the 08 final again, just to remind myself what a great player Nadal once was.
This just isn't the same guy.
This just isn't the same guy.
Wow.
I wonder how much of it is mental and how much is physical.
Of course. He probably has a window of the next 2 years.
Perhaps, if he can find some form again, but I'd be surprised now to be honest. He's really looking past his best. Injuries seem to have caught up with him.
Why did he leave it?
I sort of want this to go the distance now. Been a ripsnorter. Yeah! Tennis!
Nadal not giving in too easily, still in with a chance.
Could that miss be the turning point?
Nadal looks f*cked. His hair looks all thin.
Great save from Rafa but it all still feels inevitable.
Nadal seems to come up against all sorts of ridiculous players on grass
Can't believe he left that? Volley it in ffs!
Volley it in ffs!I think it's probably more physical. He's generally always been one of the strongest players in the game mentally.
Huge game.
vamos Rafa! stop fecking around
He needs to change things, a change of coach might help. I doubt it though, which is sad considering he was my favourite player. The matches between him and Federer were epic.
This match is all about the inherent power of hair.
