It must be so disheartening to see Djoko comes back after you think he is dead. How many times has he done that.

So it's going GP v Tenez again!!!!
We rarely disagree but on key things like who will win the 5th set...I always backed Djoko.....Tough call maybe,....we'll see.

I never expected him to go down easily in RG, esp this match, Nole will have to drag him off the court kicking and screaming, so good he's got that break you can see him swinging freely now which is crucial.

Nole should try and break Nadal, not squander these golden opportunities he's been handed on a plate by Nadal.

I saw an interview with Fed in some French mag- where they asked him to build the perfect player out of the big 4... Fed said the movement and forehand of Nadal (on clay), the physical strength of Murray and versatility, and the "believe he is never out of a match and will come back to win" of Djokoivic.
As usual- the Fed knows his stuff.
For good measure he threw in "my one handed backhand" "not because it's the best but to give that player the beauty of the shot"

I am not gardening.
Turned the sound off and whispering occasionally.
But mainly cheering on the inside, even I ran out of gas, have just enough for the final one or two winners when the MP comes along for Nole.

I just cannot, repeat CANNOT believe Nadal and how he wins some points, the guy has definitely dabbled with the occult.
(that's Nole netting the super easy overhead after the desperate "tweener" from Nadal).

But I admit, I do mental gardening during Nole serving games
Maybe I should just do out and do some for 5 minutes anyway...those danelions are spreading like crazy in this sun!

The stream is turned off.
I don't even know how Nole lost that game, didn't see any of it except the chrowd cheering on one of the points.
Nole threw the match away, that's what hurts most.

Coaches everywhere need to teach the overhead smash........smh..
I know it's sour grapes- but every time I watch a Nadal match- I just can't beleive the luck that's needed for him to be successful, and he gets it every time......

Well done Rafa, he was the better player for most of the match, so all in all a deserved win. Funnily enough, in the fifth set itself, Nole may have been the better player, but that is how it goes.
GP was right then. Rafa in five.
...and Nole should learn overheads.

What a turn around. The mistake was clearly when he was a break up and had that easy smash but touched the net. He coudl have been 5/2 up!
Really bizarre.
I just hope now that Tsonga (or Ferrer) and the crowd will finish him off Sunday.
But Nadal....what a scrapper. He was on all corners.

But I really think Rafa was the better for the most part. And you can say what you want on v2 too; they are just a bit sensitive on the style.

At first I wanted Tsonga to win but if Ferrer plays an easy 3 set he might arrive fresher in that FO final and unlike Tsonga won't try to shorten the rallies.
SO maybe I want Ferrer to win.

The really unusual thing is, I am not that upset at all, more angry than sad because Nole blew it like that.
I was quite sad when Fed lost, strangely.

I do not think Rafa will be tired on Sunday. This match was not a typical Rafa vs Nole encounter - especially not the first 3.5 sets. They were both playing far more aggressively than usual.

Yes, Rafa surprised me at times. I can't say he played better over all but he certainly played some key points with guts and luck.
NITB - I am pretty sure that had Djoko not said he was going to win that one...he woudl have won. Really strange of him to say something like that. Those words may have haunted him at times.

Well against Ferrer and Tsonga it may not be a problem but had it been Murray? It woudl have certainly been an issue.
