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

[Federberg]

I'm only able to watch intermittently, did Grigor change his gameplan to get the break?

 

[britbox]

More aggressive for sure.

 

[Federberg]

I'm impressed

 

[Vince Evert]

Come on Dimitrov. Turn this match into a 5 set 4 hour battle. hehehe

 

[britbox]

I'm with you on that RZ... Nadal is serving well though.

 

[Moxie]

Haha, RZ.

 

[Federberg]

a 5 setter would only be useful if Grigor wins. Otherwise he'll just work Rafa into rhythm!

 

[Moxie]

This match is going surprisingly quickly...even with Rafa's foot-dragging.

 

[Vince Evert]

Yes but I want Nadal to win this match so the longer he's on the court, the more it favours Roger who has a extra day's rest.

 

[britbox]

Grigor's been flattening out that forehand.

 

[Moxie]

He's tagging them.

 

[Moxie]

Why do you want Rafa to win, RZ?

 

[Moxie]

Rafa was working on his backhands in the warm-up, when I watched.

 

[Vince Evert]

oh don't tell me he's choking. Come on Dimitrov show some intenstinal fortitude FFS...

 

[Moxie]

Excellent DTL!

 

[britbox]

Back on serve.

 

[Moxie]

oh yes

 

[Vince Evert]

and nadal gets the break back. Dear oh dear

 

[Vince Evert]

If Nadal wins this thing in Straight, i don't like Roger's chances in the final

 

[Moxie]

Slow down, big guy.
