Seemingly fueled by a hatred for Nadal's attempts of gamesmanship and fairly annoying cheerleading fans, Rosol put on one of the greatest exhibitions of consistent hitting that tennis has ever seen. For one night on Centre Court, Lukas was the absolute best player on the planet

Insane match especially how well Rafa was playing in 2012 with 4 titles to this point!

You know what in all honesty the scoreline actually flattered Nadal in the end. Rosol should have taken the first set but got tight, it had nothing to do with any real Nadal pressure. The fourth set Nadal was playing much better and had momentum. But the fifth set was brutal, to say it was a beatdown isn’t being unkind to Nadal. And Rosol felt that confident on serve that he could throw away return games even when he was up in those games.

I have watched this last set 20 times or more. I have never seen anything like it. Specially the last game full of not returnable aces. Amazing!

People recognizing Nadal's class at the end forgetting that he bumps Rosol, made Rosol repeat 1st serve, avg 26 sec between points. Yep, that's class to some

If only I could play like that just one match. Please just one time.

One of my best experiences, watching it live there was a treat, especially at 1:59:00 when I was catching the ball deflected by Nadal, WOAH!!! absolute fan moment that came true, one in a million chances,. HAIL NADAL. the best of all players.
