2019 US Open QF: Nadal vs. Schwartzman

[Moxie]

The small collection of Argies are quite loud.

Not sure how small they are, but they are historically loud. Diego will have some support, without doubt.

 

[Double Bagel]

Look, Rafa will find his way back. He got lulled early, and Schwartzman is throwing all he has at it, but this won't last, trust me.

I agree, this is still Rafa's match. Schwartzman is playing great that is for damn sure and if it continues it could be a long night for Rafa, but he will still prevail.

Schwartzman knows that he has to win the first set. He will kill himself to do it. But this is Bo5.

On a positive note, Nadal's serve has been HUGE and clutch in this set.

 

[Moxie]

good on Diego for that shot

 

[Moxie]

Diego pressuring him. That's the right play.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rafa I am sleep deprived and cranky and Italian you dont want to get me offside....Come on you should have been in the 2nd set by now.

 

[rafanoy1992]

The second point of this game is the type of point I want to see Nadal. Lost the point BUT he did not let Diego dictate the point

Set point for Nadal...

 

[Double Bagel]

Schwartzman has to be disheartened. He battled so hard for that set only to go down.

 

[Moxie]

And just like that, Rafa wins the first set. So much for Diego's comeback.

 

[tented]

Wow ... just wow. I can’t believe he won that set then, after such a bad streak. Amazing.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Nadal finally wins the first set 6-4 but BOY that was a lot of nerves and pressure...

Please Nadal, just focus throughout the match no need some unnecessary drama for tonight.

 

[Moxie]

That's how to take his heart out, Rafa. Let's see how Diego recovers from that.

Too late for that, though, right? My nickname for him is Mr. Drama.

 

[Double Bagel]

I'm calling it a night. Enjoy the remainder of the match. @MargaretMcAleer I hope it doesn't last too long.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I need Brain Food and lunch,back later,will keep checking scores

Finish this Rafa in 3 sets.

Diego seems pretty damn tough after coming back from 4-0 down. I don't know if he is going down with a big fight.

Ci vediamo presto Margaret. Forza, Rafa!

 

[rafanoy1992]

I think Diego will be fine...it's Nadal I should "worry" in these next two sets. I know he will fight hard but I hope he keeps his focus.

 

[Moxie]

Find the Forehand, Rafa. All else follows.
