Its official this a match. Not a particularly entertaining one, but a match nonetheless.

Nadal doesnt want to complicate this match. He needs to hold serve and try for the break to keep this in straights

I was just happy to see Gasquet hold his serve there.

Its like Kohl: you know Rafas going to win, its just a matter of how many detours it takes to get there.

I remember seeing some computer graphic that displayed Nadals clearance over the net with his shots compared to Murray and it

Ralfs forehand really is suspect these past few games

 

[Andrew William]

I wonder if that has anything to do with how well he does against the field. He just doesnt miss at times.

more errors than normal.

Richard needs to stand closer to receive serve if he wants to pressure rafa

 

[kskate2]

2013 US Open SF: Nadal vs. Gasquet

yeah. I just think he lost focus and is having a hard time regaining it

 

[Andrew William]

2013 US Open SF: Nadal vs. Gasquet

aye, this hasnt been Nadals usual level. But this year hes trying to take control of the points earlier and that
