[Love Game]

OMG ...... safinator does hoodoo and turns nalbandian into chokinator!!! :shock:

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

That's how you make a putaway volley, David

 

[vortex1]

Safin is sticking needles into Nalbandian voodoo doll as we speak. :evil:

That was a winner...

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Another breaker...

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

MB Nalbandian... he should take it here, Davy still can't get anything going

 

[vortex1]

3-2. Nalbandian to serve. Fully expect a choke here.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

That was classless...

 

[Bud]

4-2 Nalbo

Never in doubt. Easy UE.

5-4 Davy

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

4-3* Nalbandian

 

[Bud]

Nalbandian REALLY doesn't want to win this rubber

 

[vortex1]

Omg..... both are mugs... fail smash at set point.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Well, that was...just awful...as this match has been in general. 6-6 in tb

 

[Cesc Fabregas]

What a shocking smash from Davydenko, choke of the year.

 

[Bud]

Wowee... Nalbo choked the least and won :shock:

6-4, 7-6, 7-6

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Match point

My conclusions: Davydenko is not back to his pre-injury level, and sorry David, but the elite level is a non-choking section. Anyone think Nalby would have won this match had it been a slam? Anyone?

Nalbandian was always overrated. Hilarious how some think he could be a multi-slam winner with his mental strength and crazy amount of errors he makes. Even headcase Safin grabbed a couple of slams. Says a lot really.

vamos David!!!
