It was good to see those 2 players playing after a year off because of injuries.It wasn't the best but we could see glances of their potential.
Duel of great backhands.
I hope Nalbandian wins the tournament.

I dont mind watching murray i like him for the most part, im just wondering how people can find murray boring when Simon exists.

And any idea of Nalbys ranking with this Semi appearance?

Nalbandian is currently ranked at 117 and has 465 ranking points. By getting to the semi finals of Washington, he will get at least 180 ranking points, which will take his ranking up to somewhere around 78. A runner-up finish would give him 300 points, which would take his ranking up to around 63, and a tournament win would give 500 points, taking his ranking up to around 45.

Both players looked like they were fighting their nerves. I was glad to see someone stay in a rally with Dave and make him work. Today was a good stepping stone for Dave. Anytime you take away the 'W' when you are not playing in top form is a good day, despite all the unforced errors.

The thought of Simon or Murry attempting to put away a short ball still makes me cringe. :-?

My impression of the match was that Simon didn't have the firepower to hurt Nalbandian. Once Nalbandian got going there was little Simon could do except hope for an error.
