2018 US Open Men's Semifinals: Nadal vs. Del Potro

[DarthFed]

That's the thing see...I GUARANTEE you if Del Potro someone managed to lose this set there's no chance he'd retire.

Well I wouldn't blame him if that happened. You never know, but 2 sets down with a gimpy knee/s forget it

 

[kskate2]

They just showed how many miles Nads has run this year vs last year

 

[Federberg]

Well I wouldn't blame him if that happened. You never know, but 2 sets down with a gimpy knee/s forget it

Carol what have you done with DarthFed. This isn't funny anymore!

 

[Fiero425]

I'm with you brother. If he can wait until this set is over to retire then it doesn't seem serious enough to quit

He can't help himself! He'd rather have a "retirement" or WD behind a loss! No biggie; I just see a pattern over a decade of watching the guy! NO MAS! It's over! I feel like a winner just keeping him out of the final! His record's intact concerning defending a HC title!

 

[DarthFed]

Lol you guys are nuts. He's moving like a 400 pounder who just got done with his 5th time up at a buffet

I agree IF it's gimpy but as Mastoor said, how can someone run that fast if they're supposedly injured.

Vamos DelPo.

Humanity saved!

I like the Tower's chances against whoever he may face on Sun.

 

[Mastoor]

Pity, I hoped for a five hour match between Delpo and Rafa.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

At least Federer was man enough to stay in the court and take his beating even though exhausted by heat and lack of circulation.

 

[Federberg]

Come on Delpo. Summon the Stanimal in you and win this thing on Sunday

 

[Front242]

I like the Tower's chances against whoever he may face on Sun.

Likewise. May well win it now.

 

[kskate2]

DP getting teary. Stop it big man. No waterworks please... That's some bromance between those two

You guys are funny....
Bad news for Rafa...great news for Djokovic fans...another slam in the bag.

 

[Fiero425]

If Rafa had snuck out that 1st set, we would still be watching the match; I GUARANTEE YOU! This guy's too shady for words! B-)

 

[tenisplayrla08]

Alright. Well that's it. The warrior has to retire. Of course thrilled to not see him get another grand slam this year and gain on Fed. But I just don't have the malice for him that some of you seem to. I would never wish this on him. And while I wanted to see Thiem come through so bad, Rafa pulled it out. You hate to see your grand slam semifinalist have to retire midway through the match.

Ended David Ferrer's grand slam career via retirement at the beginning of this tournament. And ends his own tournament via retirement. A somewhat fitting end.

Now we'll see if he can play at all the rest of the year.

DelPo definitely right that the key to the match was eeking out the first set. Nadal would definitely still be trying to eek out a 3 set win if he won that set. DelPo did what needed to be done. Deserves this week. Deserves this final more than most.

Not necessarily. DP can beat either one of them.

Wouldn't be so sure about that at all. Del Potro has a serious chance here. He knows he may not get many more and I think he may well take it.
