Yeah, so much for wearing down the shoulder. Maybe not such a good plan not to hit him hard on the BH.

[brokenshoelace]

Good forehand there to set up the dropper.

Smart play from Nadal. Game point

 

[teddytennisfan]

VERY nice combo of hard hitting and at net drop shot. from rafa, COME ON RAFA

Huge hold

 

[teddytennisfan]

sigh -- BIIIIII SIGH -- MOXIE -- hehe

 

[Moxie]

Some hold. Tough holds for both. I guess this is going long....longer.

 

[shawnbm]

That is huge for the Spanish bull. Typically when he has a big hold, he breaks the next game.

 

[britbox]

Shawnbm - nerves not apparent right now... this is just a war.

 

[teddytennisfan]
