2019 US Open QF: Nadal vs. Schwartzman

[Moxie]

Finally a BHDTL that worked.

If Nadal loses serve in the next two service games...oh boy...

 

[tented]

Whew! I feel a little better about Mr. Drama ... for now.

 

[Moxie]

Nadal is still giving him a fair amount of cheese to feed off of. Where is the depth? Where is the aggression?

 

[rafanoy1992]

Whew! I feel a little better about Mr. Drama ... for now.

Watch, Nadal will start to lose just a little bit of focus, tented.

See...0-30 now

 

[Moxie]

Whew! I feel a little better about Mr. Drama ... for now.

Too early not to panic.

 

[Jelenafan]

Rafa is tight.

 

[Jelenafan]

But that serve!

 

[Moxie]

THAT was a good serve and follow up. More of that, please.

 

[rafanoy1992]

30-40...with a bad forehand miss...like I told you Nadal is losing focus.

He saved a break point with a clutch serve.

 

[tented]

Rafa is tight.

And Schwartzman is a tough opponent. Wasn’t he the only guy to take a set off Rafa at RG last year? It’s like playing Mighty Mouse.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Seriously, this is some BIG and CLUTCH serving from Nadal tonight. In his first three matches, he was serve was average at best; but tonight it is A+ serving.

In a way, Nadal is serving like Djokovic is serving at Wimbledon. Just painting the lines right now.

 

[Jelenafan]

That serve is the difference.

 

[tented]

Stats thus far:

 

[Moxie]

And Schwartzman is a tough opponent. Wasn’t he the only guy to take a set off Rafa at RG last year? It’s like playing Mighty Mouse.

He was, and Nadal had to have known that the one thing he needed not to do today was let Schwartzman into a rally war, and he absolutely has.

 

[Jelenafan]

Finally aggressive ROS

 

[Moxie]

Now maybe finding better range.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Here comes Diego's comeback guys! 5-1 Nadal is serving...

 

[Moxie]

That was a helluva point won by Schwartzman, there.

 

[rafanoy1992]

What a point from Diego! Wow
