Rafael Nadal (ESP) [1] vs JM Del Potro (ARG)

[DownTheLine]

Delpo heating up now. VAMOS

 

[abmk]

holy cr*p ! That's absolutely MONSTROUS from delpo !!!!!

 

[Buckethead]

Oh stop it del Po Nadal is gonna cry.

 

[DownTheLine]

New nickname for Delpo: The Boss

I second this.

 

[Totai]

Now that Delpo's up a break 3-0, did someone ask about where being broadcast? KABC

Thanks, got it

 

[OddJack]

Delpo is bossing him around actually.. even in longer rallies

 

[Buckethead]

And Del Po is not even close to his best.

 

[cc0509]

Time to call for the trainer.....

LOL.........!

 

[Ralph]

You know, he looked rattled before he started. Similar to how Federer is against him at times. Ironic

 

[BreakPoint]

So far, Del Potro is partying like it's 2009!

 

[Araxen]

The match is far from over. Del Potro is prone to mental lapses sometimes over a course of a match.

 

[Totai]

So far, Del Potro is partying like it's 2009!

His inside out forehand is still not what it was in USO 2009

 

[Buckethead]

So far, Del Potro is partying like it's 2009!

No He is not. He is far from that. Maybe 3 months away from it.

 

[Bud]

They need to axe that ***** net sensor. Nadal's serve was not even close to the net. If the ump can't hear a let then it shouldn't be called.

 

[Buckethead]

great shot by Rafa

 

[SuperDuy]

Delpo destroying him..

 

[Totai]

its amazing how nadal can generate such a big forehand while flying backwards!

 

[SuperDuy]

3-1 del potro

 

[MichaelNadal]

Rafa's serve SUCKS. But he needs to bring that DTL-FH out more often like just now.

 

[ReturnWinner]

two great winner in a row for ******, Pony has to be very careful

 

[BreakPoint]

No He is not. He is far from that. Maybe 3 months away from it.

I'd bet that's not what Nadal is thinking right now. :shock:

 

[World Beater]

good shot from rafa.

he's in trouble if he has to keep hitting those though.

i dont understand nadal on his serve...why is he trying to blast his 1st serve...just slide and go for slow body serves..then move delpo around with his fh.

 

[Buckethead]

Nadal's on the board

 

[Bud]

3-1 still Delpo up a break

 

[Love Game]

So far, Del Potro is partying like it's 2009!

good one! :lol:

beautiful bh dtl by del 15-0

 

[MichaelNadal]

Good job Rafa!

 

[Buckethead]

I'd bet that's not what Nadal is thinking right now. :shock:

Yeah, but Nadal isn't playing that great neither.
Nadal must win this match, Del po is still on his come back and should not be a real hard hurdle from him.

 

[DownTheLine]

Is it just me or is Nadal in total push mode? What a pansy

 

[World Beater]

love the intensity in this match though...you know both guys will fight to the death

 

[jjermann]

Delpo lost his 1st serve

 

[DownTheLine]

LOL.........!

Yea look for him to retire this next change over because of a.. T-shirt injury?

 

[Love Game]

love the FHs that come when delpo groans ... deep and hard ... 40-15

 

[Buckethead]

That is why I think del Po will be a number 1 next year. He is already giving top players hard time and He is not on his best, further, He has so much to develop.

 

[Totai]

Delpo cant buy a first serve

 

[cc0509]

Yea look for him to retire this next change over because of a.. T-shirt injury?

Be nice now!

 

[DownTheLine]

Huge hitting

 

[MichaelNadal]

Man Rafa has been so subpar this year. Ugh.

 

[Buckethead]

Good hold.
Rafa picked it up

 

[abmk]

delpo holds, leads 4-1 ...

 

[ReturnWinner]

****** was not that bad in the last game, three of his errores were forced and the other was a drop shot to try something different.

 

[cc0509]

That is why I think del Po will be a number 1 next year. He is already giving top players hard time and He is not on his best, further, He has so much to develop.

He's got the potential that is for sure.

 

[OddJack]

Holly molly... Delpo playing even better than his match with Kohl

He is pushing Nadal back and side to side

 

[World Beater]

delpo is just bossing nadal around and nadal is trying to play defense...trying to hit winners from that far back isnt high % tennis.

 

[Telepatic]

Delpo in terminator mode.

 

[Buckethead]

Del Po needs to start charging the net to keep points short.

 

[Bud]

Rafa is hitting much better now. His goal should be to move Delpo around as much as possible in the event this goes three sets

 

[ReturnWinner]

He's got the potential that is for sure.

The potential is there for sure, the only concern is his body.

 

[Talker]

Just imagine when Potro gets his game working.

 

[wilkinru]

Styles make fights...

 

[OddJack]

Did they show Nadal's first serve percentage? Looks like below 50
