AO Semi: Rafael Nadal (9) vs Grigor Dimitrov (15)

[shawnbm]

I thought it would be set. For the Bulgarian

 

[shawnbm]

And it's over

 

[mrzz]

Nadal survived by the skin of his teeth there

 

[shawnbm]

Still go five but Rafa wins

Quality tie break

 

[Moxie]

(Sips scotch) Holy cow!

 

[shawnbm]

You will have at least two this morning tía

 

[Moxie]

Not five. I think he's ripped Grigor's heart out here.

 

[Vince Evert]

Dimitrov will regroup and take the 4th set, LOL...

 

[brokenshoelace]

For those wondering, I'm not dead. But pretty close.

 

[shawnbm]

Yes, I would agree with you, but since I picked five sets of the beginning I must stay the course, thousand points of light etc.

 

[Moxie]

Hi, Broken. Were you the spectator they were giving chest compressions to in the crowd?

 

[britbox]

Rafa serves first...

 

[brokenshoelace]

Yes, Moxie. I faked it to throw Dimitrov off his game a bit.

 

[Vince Evert]

This thing will take longer than Roger vs Stan sf. "Keep it Going Fellas" "Keep Going" LOL..

 

[britbox]

I don't think Dimitrov is out of this match yet guys

 

[shawnbm]

It is a good thing for Reif that he serving first and the set. Isn't it amazing that he makes that air to begin the first game of the fourth set, but was so good just a minute ago.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Whatever happens this tournament, this will be Nadal moving forward. The inconsistency on a point-to-point basis, the shanked forehands, the nerves, etc... It's called getting old. Same thing happened with Roger.

 

[shawnbm]

Siri messed up there
