Nadal vs. Hewitt (Hamburg Semi-Final)

[Dangus]

That was a loud f-bomb too. Nadal stepping up and controlling the rallies.

Yup. Nadal's really starting to turn it on now.

 

[zpeed7]

Wow, what a forehand from Nadal!

 

[Dangus]

Nadal holds, 2-0.

 

[Morrissey]

Nadal with the stinging running FH down the line. He´s got his groove on. Where´s FedFan 2007 now? That troll.

 

[zpeed7]

Nadal's hitting A LOT of short balls today, right on the service line, that won't work against Fed.

 

[Dangus]

What a forehand down the line!

 

[mmuubb]

And Lleyton holds.

 

[Morrissey]

Nadal's hitting A LOT of short balls today, right on the service line, that won't work against Fed.

I tell you what won´t work. If Fed hits the forehand like he did with Moya he´ll be seeing an 0-6 record against Nadal on clay. He sprayed alot of balls with Moya. Both Nadal and Fed aren´t playing their best tennis this week. Difference being that Nadal only lost one set.

 

[Fedace]

what do you think Lleyton's wife will say tonight ?? "Lleyton, if you can push rafa to 3 sets on clay, you can take federer on grass and beat him" ??

 

[Morrissey]

Probably, ¨Hey Lleyton honey, can I dye my hair to blonde again?¨

Good point. Maybe we'll see a flurry of UE's from both...

 

[Dangus]

Probably, ¨Hey Lleyton honey, can I dye my hair to blonde again?¨

I still think she looks pretty good either way.

 

[Dangus]

Hewitt down 3-4 in the third set, with Nadal to serve.

 

[Morrissey]

Yup. Nadal's really starting to turn it on now.

It´s looks like Nadal has figured out Hewitt´s groundstroke patterns. He´s taking Hewitt´s crosscourt backhand with a forehand down the line. Hewitt is a tough customer, he plays smart high perecentage tennis. Nadal is down 2 break points as I type.

 

[Dangus]

Hewitt breaks! The set is tied at 4 with Lleyton to serve.

 

[Andres]

Hewitt breaks back!!!
4-4 !!

 

[Morrissey]

4-4 even in the final set. Nadal needs to take it up a notch here.

 

[newbiett]

hewitt breaks. delicious.

 

[mmuubb]

And a break!!! 4-4 and Lleyton to serve! C'mon

 

[BigServer1]

Wow, this just got really interesting...

 

[BigServer1]

LOL 0-30 Nadal, looks like he's wanting to break right back.

 

[Morrissey]

Nadal up 3 break points

 

[Dangus]

Let's see if he can convert.

 

[Andres]

I can't believe this Aussie

 

[mmuubb]

And Hewitt's down 0-40....

 

[Morrissey]

How dare you cats doubt Nadal on clay. Shame on you kids.

 

[Dangus]

Vamos Rafa! Nadal leads 5-4. Serve out the match!

 

[Andres]

Amazing crosscourt backhand pass!
Nadal breaks, serves for the match 5-4

 

[Morrissey]

Nadal just needs to hold to win and to shut Fedfan 2007 up.

 

[BigServer1]

Well it was a closer match than I expected, but I'm glad that we get another Rafa/Roger final.

 

[mmuubb]

Now it's the true test if he's still the great warrior who fights each and every ball...

 

[Ripper]

One "COME OOON!!!!" immediately followed by one "VAMOSSS!!!"

 

[Dangus]

Well it was a closer match than I expected, but I'm glad that we get another Rafa/Roger final.

It's not over yet...

 

[Andres]

0-15 ... Cmon Lleyton!!!

 

[Morrissey]

Nadal down 0-30. A case of jitters.

 

[Andres]

0-30 and 2nd serveeeee

 

[Dangus]

F-bomb number 2!

 

[Andres]

Damn netcord!!!!
15-30

 

[Dangus]

Hewitt's going crazy! 30-30

 

[Andres]

Grrrrrr!!! Come on Lleyton!!! INSIDE the COURT!!!

 

[Andres]

30-40

 

[mmuubb]

[SalvadorVeiga]

[Andres]

Hewitt breaks back!!!!!

 

[Dangus]

Hewitt breaks! 5-5 with Lleyton to serve.

 

[Morrissey]

5-5 now. Coin toss from here. Server doesn´t seem to have any advantage.

 

[mmuubb]

C'mooooooooooon!!!

 

[SalvadorVeiga]

[Andres]
