Unless he took some painkillers that will take effect soon, I can't imagine him giong beyond this second set
He just won his serve so maybe there's hope. I really wanted him to win, it's sad to see him like this.
Nah, Wawrinka is distracted by Nadal's injury
Respect to him for going through the motions and not ruining Stan's first major win by retiring (like what Henin did years ago to Mauresmo I think). He also seems genuinely hurting out there. Never saw him like that, it's sad to see and I was actually rooting for Wawrinka.
Two sets up though. It would be a superhuman achievement if Rafa were to come back from this.
Blimey, meds are kicking in 🙂 4-1 third set.
Not too concerned by who wins but it'd be pretty cool to see Rafa come back from 2 sets down when he's injured.
It'd be brilliant. I think winning this set's just a temporary bounce though (if he wins that is).
If he loses this game it's over I reckon.
Somehow got 4/9 Wawrinka so put near 200 quid on it. Can't see Rafa winning he's clearly still struggling.
G'wan Rafa.

Only just seen this but I was there. Best live sports match I've seen and it will stay with me for a long time.
Must have been incredible.
Rafa is an unbelievable fighter, the strength of his mind is unmatched.
Not enough on this occasion though, such a pity for the competition that he wasn't 100% today.
What is wrong with him?
Back or rib injury I think. Occured while he was playing a shot in the second set.
Bummer.
Decided not to watch it....Had a feeling that Stan would give him a run....And had an early morning engagement....Although it's a shame Rafa wasn't 100%....But a new champion...Good to mix it up a bit....Next stop, French Open....Go Rafa!
dammit, I had counted 14 and 15 for rafa this two slams. just two away from Federer. dammit.
