It's amazing how Ralph has been winning using primarily ONE strategy...Moonball to backhand...Works every time under pressure.

Not impressed with Nadal at all. He is not making the final playing like this.

I concur. Ferrer is playing better than him and will beat him here like at MC. I think it will be a Djokovic vs. Ferrer final. Because Murray sucks on clay.
 
In all seriousness, Nadal has played very well in this match. Thiem has done pretty well to get 6 games now (up a break in the 3rd). This is much better than what we've seen from Nadal this clay season so far.
true. He remind me to old Rafa from the past. He still have his game.

You'd really fancy Ferrer to beat him at RG over best of 5? Even on his best day I wouldn't.

It's amazing how the haters never have a single positive thing say about Nadal :oops: but they're glued to his matches.

Well nothing negative about that...He uses one strategy but executes it very well...Credit to him for perfecting that pattern of play...Works against majority of the tour.

Something bad might be happening to UK viewers of ITV4 soon, Garcia-Lopez is very close to winning in straight sets and it might just happen as Thiem (MAYBE) takes the 3rd set. Then they will switch to Murray...

Ferrer has already beaten Nadal TWICE at the slams, including the very slow AO surface. As well as at the USO. Ferrer also beat him this year at MC where the surface is very similar to RG. It can happen.

Indeed! Unbelievable that Nadal needs cheating by himself and linesmen to close out the match vs this yongling.
Haha we all know that Nadal will win this match but that forehand was (by my eye) quite clearly in. Ah well, Thiem has played well today and can only improve.

Thanks. The ball was in. That is quite clear and that is what I am talking about.
