Hats off to Shortman!

Most mortal human beings would have folded after being 2 sets and a break down to Ralph.

But, Shorty climbed back, broke Ralph twice in the same set and valiantly reached TB, only to not score a single point in TB.:thinking-face:

Joined the match at 5:5 in the 3rd.
Jesus what a horrible TB from Diego, should have won first two and couple of other points, what mistakes by dictating whole rally.
And typically easy overhead mistake by Diego, and Bob the Peasant fistpumping!
Just disgusting.

Well that tiebreaker was an anticlimactic finish.

The commentators were saying Diego climbs up to #8 ( and Rublev to top 10) so a personal high by him.

I thought Rafa looked solid, not spectacular but then again he didn’t need to be. Like I said previously Diego doesn’t have an impressive service game he can hold consistently versus Rafa. Diego loosened up the last half of the 3rd set after being down 2-4, Rafa got a little tight including some Misfired gimmee volleys, but hey reminds us he’s human out there. He got a workout but wasn’t extremely challenged so was nice he got to wrap it in 3.

They also mentioned this is the 11th time that Rafa has won the SF in straight sets.

Insane.

Of course you are right. It was pure irony.

Novak lost 3rd set. Hope we get our dream F friend!
