Nadal v Ferrer Mexico Final thread

[TTMR]

Match over. Nadal to win RG without dropping a set.

 

[Nickzor]

This is probably Nadals biggest test since coming back!

 

[Beryl]

What's wrong with Ferrer?

 

[Towser83]

lol Nadal already up a break.

 

[Onehandedbackhand]

Ferrer is NOT playing well at all.

When they played at RG, Nadal was in godmode. Ferrer was hitting consistent, but Rafa was otherworldly that day.

This is just ugly right now. He has to get his head out of his ass.

 

[kishnabe]

0-30....come on Ferrer.....WTF happened to those close matches you gave Rafa in Barcelona and Last year clay matches except RG.

 

[veroniquem]

Good start from Rafa!

 

[ark_28]

Ferrer has not hit an ace as yet this is a cause for concern! A huge serve even on clay had the potential to take away Nadal's rhythm!

 

[MichaelNadal]

Just tuning in here. bamos!

 

[kishnabe]

Rafa wins I am leaving!

 

[Rob31]

LOL already 3-0 Nadal

 

[veroniquem]

3-0 I smell bakery products

This shouldn't be a surprise really. I said before the match that Ferrer's form hasn't been great and he'd really need to lift to win.

Rafa up a double break, oh Clarky, where art thou???

 

[Towser83]

oh my God this is grim for Ferrer. Nadal is back and is favourite for RG. By the time that rolls around he'll be ready to resume his usual dominance.

 

[Ronaldo]

Umbrellas at Night?

 

[Onehandedbackhand]

Plies needs to put an absolute boot in Ferrer's ass when it comes to these big matches. I mean do SOMETHING. Lock him in that closet, or whatever it was, and make him think!

I mean there's just a horrid mental block with these big guys!

 

[albatros_forehand]

Ferrer started to choke the moment he stepped on the court

 

[Relinquis]

If ferrer can somehow stem the bleeding a bit this set (especially on his service games), he'll have a better chance of putting pressure on Nadal in the following one.

he needs to extend points and keep Nadal back. Nadal is shortening the points, taking the ball early, coming into the court. not good for david.

Break point for Ferrer!

 

[Onehandedbackhand]

TERRIBLE shot! Man, that was a chance!

 

[bezs]

The sweat is dripping off Ralph's nose like a tap

 

[veroniquem]

I love how good Rafa is at saving BPs on clay. It must be pretty discouraging for the opponent.

 

[The_Order]

The sweat is dripping off Ralph's nose like a tap

Yeah true, most likely from his hair though.

 

[Onehandedbackhand]

To Ferru's credit, he hit better there than he has all match...but the nerves killed any chance to win that game.

 

[veroniquem]

4-0 The way this is going I'll get to go to bed early

 

[MichaelNadal]

Rafa hitting his backhand very well.

 

[Relinquis]

what's all of this arguing with the umpire?

What?! that was clearly out....

 

[The_Order]

Another great bh from Rafa.

 

[Ronaldo]

Davide taps

 

[Rocky89]

Rafa really shortening the points...that's what I want to see.

 

[albatros_forehand]

5-0 LOL. Ferrer better that Berdych my as.

 

[Onehandedbackhand]

Rafa's just hitting well, but this isn't godmode at all.

Ferrer's body language is garbage. Absolutely disappointing!

 

[Relinquis]

At least Ferrer got his first ace... C'mon Daveeeeeeeed!

Pull it together.

Are the umbrellas just there for the sponsorship? haha.

 

[The_Order]

Man! Nadal is feeling it!

Up 5-0 now again I ask:

Oh Clarky, where art thou???

 

[veroniquem]

This is not a test, this is a joy ride!!! Rafa looks unbeatable. Fresh bagel coming up asap.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Rafa really shortening the points...that's what I want to see.

Same here, he's hitting well off both wings and being aggressive.

 

[Telepatic]

Time to retire Ferrer, embarrassing stuff from world number 4.

 

[Strategy]

Does anyone have an ENGLISH stream for this game?

 

[Towser83]

Clarky must be pissed off at this.

Of course it'll be

"ferrer played like a mug, otherwise he'd have won 6-0 6-0"

 

[ucr_tennis90]

espn has the stream on their website. i think it's espn3 or espnwatch

 

[Relinquis]

i think Ferrer needs to start junkballing a bit or something... throw in some slice and drop shot/lob combos... anything to break the rhythm

 

[MichaelNadal]

Clarky must be pissed off at this.

Of course it'll be

"ferrer played like a mug, otherwise he'd have won 6-0 6-0"

Pretty much. Nadal isn't letting him play well though. He's putting on a clinic out there.

 

[THESEXPISTOL]

Is it me or Rafa is in god mode?

 

[Rob31]

Nadal is just too good for Ferror today.

 

[amx13]

Damn, I forgot how awful clay tennis could be

 

[The_Order]

6-0 to Rafa.

LOL, let's be honest we all knew who the real top 4 player was.

 

[eliars]

Rafa playing great. But really, so has he done all week. I also think Rafa is a bad match up for Ferrer (take their clay h2h)

Rafa bagels Ferrer in the 1st. Let's hope for a more competetive 2nd set.

 

[Onehandedbackhand]

Seriously folks, SHUT UP with the please retire garbage!

It's like some of you are just quitters in life and expect everyone else to be the same!

 

[Strategy]

Since when does Rafa go for so many winners?

 

[bezs]

Oh man, come Da veed at least give him some challenge

 

[veroniquem]

Clay goat is goating. Yummy bagel got served.
