Nice. I was thinking Nadal's shot again at this title would be through Murray or Delpo. Was definitely not expecting Delpo to beat Djok
Hopefully Nadal doesn't blow it.

Delpo's only 3 wins versus Nadal were in late 2009 when Nadal was at a low on HC... 3 wins in a row!
Nadal vs Delpo H2H
Let's hope the result will be similar to IW 2011
Rafa could go up 8-3 over Delpo. If Rafa won IW, it would become his best non clay event (only event won more than twice outside of clay). That + the master record on the line + 3 titles in a row. That's a lot to play for! I hope he's up to it. It would be wonderful. But I won't begrudge Delpo's first master title if it happens. Delpo is a nice guy and a talented player who- like Rafa- has had tough reversals of fortune. So I'd be happy for him. Either way, 4 consecutive finals to start the season is as good as it could get for Rafa and I have extremely positive vibes for the rest of his season at this point.
