I suppose NADAL2005RG will come along later and tell us this is all part of a huge plan...

He's doing a great job of avoiding marathons since the US Open alright.

I'm giving ONE last chance - Rafa in 3 anyone?

What's the odds, Front?

If you're talking betting I'd have already lost as I picked Nadal in 2. No idea relating to bettings odds or the odds on Nadal winning in 3. Quite strong if past Ferrer meltdowns are anything to go by.

Well played Ferrer "Lord of the apes". Grunting apes that is. Another chance to not screw it up now

Not yet Balary. Rafa drops serve again. Daveed to serve for it a 2nd time. I think he'll get it done this time.

Happy for Ferrer if he can close it out. He gets way too little respect except for the true tennis followers.

Fantastic point to win it. No fan of the grunting but big fan of how aggressive Ferrer was today. I hope he plays like that next week. Very impressed. Didn't think he'd come within sniffing distance of defending his title here but making the final is a huge effort in itself.

NADAL2005RG

Nadal hit more winners today (19) than yesterday (18). Building form nicely ahead of London!

I didn't think he would even make the final, either, but he has to be congratulated for such tremendous efforts in the quarterfinal against Berdych, and now beating Rafa in straights.
