When are going to acnowlodge that Nadal is playing way better than he played in the last few months and has actually a shot against Djoko in the QF?

While he does look good and has got some game back, one does not judge based on matches with Fognini how he would perform against Novak.

Novak is just a different beast at this time.

Erah... thinking he might as well give up.. Fog.. Feliciano... Djoker (or RBA???)

This is probably the best tennis Nadal has brought this year. He looks fitter and and more focused than hes looked in a LONG time.

This is probably the best Nadal has looked since the French of last year (And Im sure he will get better as each round goes). I don't think he will beat Nole but if he does he will take the title IMO.
Rafa needs to return to the clay where he will be buried next year!

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH. He's almost never played FED in US hard court series.

Hes beaten Fed in his own back yard in Cincy. This court is slower, Fed would never have a good chance beating Nadal on this surface.

We also know Nadal has the clear winning h2h over Fed on outdoor hards

Yeah in 2013 when Fed having bad year in dotage an Rafa having his best hard court year ever (kudos by the way). Reality is this matchup has not occured very often because Nads has been physically toast.

All that being said, I'd love to see him take the Djoker and settle this in the final with T Fed (kinda like T Rex).

Fognini play very aggressively and makes a few winners but a lot more unforced errors. Nadal's serve seems to be stronger than I remember.
