I am looking at Nadal's face right now and he even is smiling sarcastically saying: "What in the world am I even doing here right now?"

BTW there is No Way in Hell he will win a final if he plays like this or s/final.
I feel this is true, but I'm somehow sure that he's only going to play Schwartzman this way, of all that are left.

I think he will be playing better in the last two rounds. I just think part of the reason Nadal is playing like this because it is Diego. He has too much respect for Diego in my opinion.

He has to stop respecting his opponents full stop....Honestly pretend it is Fognini over the other side lol!

Schwartzman isn't exactly a mini-me of Rafa, but he has the kind of game that tempts Rafa to sit back, rally, go for the long game. It's a mistake, but hopefully one that he only would make in this match-up, not at one going forward.

I am being serious here: I do not feel happy that Nadal is two sets up right now. I feel like he is losing the match. That how mind boggling Nadal's performance right now (in a bad way). I am not even relieved at all...

Read what I wrote above. I stand by that. Rafa is lulled into playing like this today, given the opponent.

Rafa Can’t get in the way of Diego’s. “I have to win 3 straight sets to beat Rafa” mindset..

Rafa got some cream on the left forearm, Schwartzman had a toilet break.

Watch out Moxie, Nadal might break here and he will start getting to tight forehands again :scratch:
