2013 Paris BNP Paribas Masters SF: Nadal v. Ferrer

[BalaryKar]

Ferrer will among those very few who have 4 wins against Nadal on hard-courts

 

[Front242]

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

Seems you missed the error to winner ratio. 25 errors. Ferrer had 29 winners to 20 errors. That's the way the ratio works best and not less winners than errors.

He also had 25 unforced. Those aren't good numbers 2005. :nono

 

[NADAL2005RG]

Nadal has never quite managed to master Ferrer the way Federer has.

 

[Denis]

Well done Ferrer! Congrats to him, Kieran, herios and his other fans

No complaints from me, because a 3rd set would mean an awful lot of energy expended (plus whatever were to happen in the final). Nadal continues to avoid the marathons like a genius ahead of London. Wouldn't have it any other way

 

[Kieran]

Ferrer won? Ah feck! The old radar needs tuning. Well done to him, though, great effort all week and he deserves his place in the final to defend his trophy :clap

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Congrats to Ferrer.. he had a great game plan against Rafa and executed it well
Well deserved win and good luck in the final

 

[Moxie]

Ferrer was terrific! Great win for him. I hope he defends his title. Vamos, David!

 

[Front242]

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.

Yup. We were both right on that one. He said exactly that :clap

 

[nehmeth]

:snigger Congrats to Ferrer.

Geniuses tend to win more matches than lose them, genius.

 

[NADAL2005RG]

Yup. We were both right on that one. He said exactly that :clap

Glad we all agree about the marathons. As the saying goes, "Great minds think alike :idea: and the rest can please themselves".

 

[Postpre]

Nadal didn't need another encounter with Djokovic. He wasn't going to beat him here. It's best to limit such encounters with Djokovic (especially on indoor hards) outside of Slam Semis/Finals. He's worked hard to get the mental edge back, no use in letting it slip away on Djokovic's favorite surface at events that aren't that important.

 

[Front242]

Well done Ferrer! Congrats to him, Kieran, herios and his other fans

Don't congratulate Kieran. He hates congratulating anyone but the winner of the match

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

wow..a shock defeat, rafa thwarted in his bid ro win a world record 6th masters title in a season,

daveeeeeed managed to contain his mental midgetness against rafa and 'eeeeeeeee' his way to victory.

 

[tented]

Well done Ferrer! Congrats to him, Kieran, herios and his other fans

Don't congratulate Kieran. He hates congratulating anyone but the winner of the match

Well then, congratulations to Kieran for only congratulating the winner of the match.

 

[Kieran]

I never congratulate fans. For what? Supping beer and screaming at the telly? :snigger

 

[NADAL2005RG]

Is it true that Ferrer is a regular smoker?

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

I never congratulate fans. For what? Supping beer and screaming at the telly? :snigger

congrats to fanz for sitting on their hole shouting at the telly watching a gerbil beat a capybara :laydownlaughing

its wildlife Jim, but not as we know it..:snigger
