Un.....believable! Blows this half of the draw wide open now!

 

[Stewy]

Wow... fair enough.

 

[ic1male]

Golly, poor Rafa. Could this chap be the next Djokovic?

 

[glitch]

And he's 100 seed?

No, he's ranked 100 in the world.

And for good reason as he's not really ever shown potential like he has in this game. But with any luck this stunning victory will propel him in the right direction that his talent deserves.

 

[Merlin5]

Well, that's what you call czech mate!

 

[Cosimo]

Oh my god Nadal lost !!!

I'm speechless.

 

[mranderson]

Let's hope it's not a one-off until he plays Andy

 

[The_One]

Well, that's what you call czech mate!

 

[McPhee]

Anyone wishing they'd placed an outside bet now? Bet the odds were good.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Let's hope it's not a one-off until he plays Andy

Lets hope so. No one's returning those shots he was hitting near the end.

 

[glitch]

Seems pretty grounded in his post-match interview. Got to be tough to keep a lid on your emotions at that point and talk any sort of sense.

I'll place a bet John Inverdale gets piles.

 

[paulc25]

Fiver bet he goes out next round in straight sets

 

[Caseh]

He played so well, I really hope he can keep that form and shoot up the rankings!

 

[glitch]

I'll place a bet John Inverdale gets piles.

Golly, poor Rafa. Could this chap be the next Djokovic?

Nah he's a no mark mate, only won 18 TOUR MATCHES before tonight, 26 and his highest rank was 65, 100 at the moment.

Just an unbelievable game for him.

 

[Merlin5]

Lol, if we'd looked at this list before today, of all those players listed, we'd never in a million years pick out the very last placed player to beat nadal.

Nadal was 1/200 pre match, rosol 33/1.

And at a set down nadal was 1/1000, rosol 100/1 on bet365!!

 

[mranderson]

This is Rosol’s 6th Grand Slam appearance. His best Grand Slam performance is reaching the 3rd round as a qualifier at 2011 Roland Garros (l. Juan Ignacio Chela). He defeated No. 8 Jurgen Melzer in the 2nd round there for his only victory to date over a Top 10 ranked player

and now no 2

Just woken up from a nap to see there's been a (little bit of a) shock.

Not sure if this is good or bad for Andy though. People are going to expect him to win now, but I still think you're looking at QF/SF. I reckon Ferrer might take him down again or even Tsonga.

All this means is that Novak will retain.
