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

[brokenshoelace]

Nadal's forehand misses, Jesus.

 

[Moxie]

Not long!

 

[mrzz]

keep on playing boys

 

[shawnbm]

I have been wondering about the Bulgarian and his fitness after so many hours. We know Rafael will not be tired.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Those aren't even close.

 

[britbox]

That's a huge hold.

 

[teddytennisfan]

probably a little bit of tired arm there.

 

[Moxie]

Nadal should have broken.

 

[shawnbm]

What is the score and who is serving first in the set?

 

[brokenshoelace]

This sort of match makes it look pretty dumb that the semis are played on different days.

 

[brokenshoelace]

This is like Verdasco all over again

 

[Moxie]

Oh, don't start.

 

[teddytennisfan]

i quite agree. that was always a bit strange - different days.

 

[teddytennisfan]

but thats the way they do it - so players just have to take it.

 

[mrzz]

smelling blood

 

[Moxie]

Dimitrov served first and hld. 1-0. and 0-15.

 

[brokenshoelace]

You know for all the odd harsh criticism Grigor got after losing the third set by a few Fedfans, his ability to keep the UE's down is super impressive.

 

[shawnbm]

Mean to tell me they are only in the second game of the set?

 

[teddytennisfan]

i agree. he did really well. in that come-back in set 4

 

[Moxie]

0-30 Danger.
