[Kwanfan]

[Tennis sensation]

BP Ferrer...

 

[Kwanfan]

Nadal holds serve after a long, long ass painful boring game. 5-3.

 

[Rainalkar]

thx 10 char

 

[Bud]

Nadal holds serve after a long, long ass painful boring game. 5-3.

You just in here to complain?

 

[Kwanfan]

what is 10 char

 

[Kwanfan]

Com on NADA give us some thrilling ass kicking shots!!!

 

[bezs]

Not the best of matches but at least Ferrer is putting up a fight unlike last year's finalist

 

[Bud]

Each and every game has been a battle

 

[MixieP]

Lord Ferrer, come on, break again!

 

[Tennis sensation]

5-4
Nadal serving for the set

 

[Bud]

These points are monumental

 

[Kwanfan]

Yeahhhhhh that's more like it !!!

 

[Tennis sensation]

Not the best of matches but at least Ferrer is putting up a fight unlike last year's finalist

What are you saying? Last year's final was the Greatest Match OF All Time.:wink:

 

[Speranza]

Holmes: Thing is, you know where every ball is going to go even before either of them hit it. Their patterns are repeated constantly. That wasn't the case yesterday, hence more interesting yesterday too.

 

[Bud]

Double set point Nadal

6-4

75 minutes!

 

[Kwanfan]

An injured Murray would destroy these Spaniards.

 

[cucio]

Good thing about matches between extremely good defensive players on a very slow surface is that you can get some chores done during the first 10-20 strokes of the rally.

 

[Kwanfan]

Vamos!!!!!!!! Nadal 6-4

 

[Mustard]

First set Nadal, 6-4

 

[ledwix]

Longest set ever. Almost.

 

[Tennis sensation]

Nadal takes first set 6-4

 

[niff]

Ridiculous that Ferrer didn't break back at 3*-2. Such a chance on that overhead.

 

[MixieP]

The ump must be a *********, giving Rafa a time violation warning when he knows that it will only fire up Rafa and make him play better.

 

[ledwix]

Nadal is insane on break points...he seems to be able to just will them out of existence.

 

[Tennis sensation]

An injured Murray would destroy these Spaniards.

Just like he destroyed Nadal yesterday. :wink:

 

[nadalbestclass]

An injured Murray would destroy these Spaniards.

Ya that worked out for him really well. :twisted:

 

[Sartorius]

Holmes: Thing is, you know where every ball is going to go even before either of them hit it. Their patterns are repeated constantly. That wasn't the case yesterday, hence more interesting yesterday too.

Murray's game plan yesterday seemed to be hitting to Nadal's BH as much as possible before exploiting the gap on the FH side. Today it looks like Ferrer is keen on making Nadal hit FHs instead of BHs... Nadal also let Ferrer off the hook many times in that first set. Not a good match so far with both players making life easy for each other.

 

[Bud]

3 BP's Nadal

 

[Tennis sensation]

Triple BP's Nadal

 

[Tennis sensation]

Brilliant volley from Ferrer

30-40

Make that Deuce

 

[Mustard]

Deuce......

 

[TomatoSoup]

Die Ferrer die

 

[Kwanfan]

Ferrer saves 3 BPs! Nadal doesn't want to beat his friend and looks bad.

 

[Mustard]

Another BP Nadal.

 

[Tennis sensation]

Another BP Nadal

 

[tennis_pro]

Ferrer saves 3 BPs! Nadal doesn't want to beat his friend and looks bad.

Nadal would beat the crap out of his own mother if he had to

 

[Mustard]

Deuce again.

 

[Kwanfan]

4th BPs for Nadal.
duce again.

 

[bezs]

Yet another deuce

 

[Tennis sensation]

Nice FH Winner by Ferrer to make it Ad Ferrer

 

[TomatoSoup]

Nadal back to pusher mode.

Ferrer now is looking as aggressive as Murray yesterday. Nadal continues to push his way through the clay, through the dust and patches of difficulties coming in waves and storms in his path. Pushing is the way, pushism the religion. Push the way to victory. **** Best Class.

 

[Mustard]

Ferrer holds, 1-0.

 

[Tennis sensation]

Ferrer holds
Nadal to serve at 0-1

 

[Bud]

Ferrer's court coverage is pretty incredible

 

[Kwanfan]

U know King Nadal sucks when he can't convert all these BPs.

 

[Seth]

Wozzy looks busted in those sunglasses.

 

[Tennis sensation]

Wozniacki in the crowd

 

[TomatoSoup]

Omg Wozniacki's forehead is larger than my backyard...

Cameraman's got an obsession with pushers and big foreheads?

 

[Tennis sensation]

Nadal holds
1-1
