Marchenko chances with Nadal at Doha semis

[samoilyk]

What do you think about possible match? He plays flat balls a lot. Can he make some problems for Nadal?
p.s. Do you now what's his racquet?

In the wrong forum and Nadal isn't even in the semis yet.

 

[samoilyk]

yes, sir

Nadal may easily lose the QF - he is mostly struggling to keep up, although I can see his endurance and fitness carry the spaniard through.

Actually rooting for Nadal to get through to the final at this point. Assuming Djok does his part, we're potentially two matches away from that h2h finally tipping (forevermore?) in his favor.

24-23

I think Rafa takes it in straights, 6-3, 6-3...but who knows, this is a fast Doha surface.

 

[roger presley]

Rafa in two.

Nadal in straights, 6-2 6-1 or something like that

No way, If he wins and that's a big if it'll go the distance.

I'm catching it live and on a replay on "beINSP." It just above NBC's pay cable sport's channel on RCN! The replay will be on in 2 hour 1/2! QATAR Open; can check Nole and Rafa struggling a little! Rafa actually lost a set to some kid IDK! ;-)

Rafa is gonna have a hard time dealing with this guy, he is no joke for beating higher ranked players than him like Ferrer and Chardy.

Djokovic will have his hands full against an aggressive Berdych. Maybe three sets
