How was that first set? Was it Nadal playing insane tennis and sending a message to everyone that he can beat anyone in the world on clay(I mean how many people can bagel Ferrer on clay?) or was Ferrer being a mug?

At the top level, for a set to go 6-0 then two factors mustbe going against the victim. Firstly, he must be playing bad and secondly his opponent must be playing well.

That's what happened in the first, it was a combination of both which made it so one sided.

Thanks for non-sarcastic response, Mike.

I figured. I was just wondering if it was anything like 2008 or 2010, Nadal was bageling people brutally.

No I'm being serious. He was actually playing that well
Can't u tell? I'm very happy with the way he's playing.

Gotcha.

Although, I have seen Nadal bagel guys who were fighting tooth and nail before on clay.

Rafa 1 game away from the match. I think this is the fastest match he has ever played vs Ferrer. 1 hour, wow :shock:

Yeah for sure he has, but when I said at the top level, I meant the top guys. Fed copped a bagel off him at RG but I wouldn't say Fed was fighting tooth and nail.

What a way to finish! Another backhand winner. Rafa shaking his head in disbelief, as if to say "This was too good". Congrats!

Man, congrats to Rafa put on a real display tonight but ffs Ferrer really pissed me off in that last game. Everyone says that he's a fighter and he never gives up but he flat out tanked that last game. Shame on him for that.

For the third time:

Oh, Clarky, where art thou???

What do you do if you are Plies?

There's nothing more you can do but get him ready for these big boys. He beats everyone else.

no idea... needs something to help him break the momentum those guys get against him.



Very emotional win for Nadal by the way... gotta feel for what they guy has been through the past year.

Scintillating display from Rafa. This was:
- his 2nd Acapulco title
- his 2nd title this year (and judging from today's perf, definitely not his last!!!!)
- a straight set run to the title
- his best match ever against Ferrer

Congrats Rafa!! Perfect intro to sweeping the clay season again. Can't wait!!

Rafa crying into his towel?

of course. imagine what he has been through the past year and now to win against Ferrer in this manner. It means a lot. Very emotional year for Rafa.

by the way, the girl in the blue dress standing int eh row of people giving out the prizes, is fit.

Players who already got 2 titles this season: Gasquet, Ferrer, Djoko and Nadal. Yeahhh this is gonna be another "Djoko/Nadal sweep everything" season! ( my favorite kind:))

all his head, and heart, which is tough to say about ferrer, but...he's done everything with his game..maybe lock him in that closet again and do some kind of therapy with him to have a little more belief

You really have a thing for Isner, OP. Lol. I bet you even dream about him.

As for this final, I think Ferrer will take it. Nadal barely squeaked by Nico last night and I do not see him beating Ferrer with him playing so well. Daveed in straights.

"i think"...no, you don't, you rant
