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

[teddytennisfan]

AT leas tfor GRIGOR -- he knows now that he has the good - even up in the mind - and endurance -

 

[Moxie]

Cali still thinks Dimitrov won their QF 3 years ago.

 

[Tennis Fan]

I am shocked at the level that Dimi displayed. We should've had a clue when he dispatched Gasquet, his nemesis so easily.

 

[teddytennisfan]

he can win his own major sometime - hopefully soon - and he has the goods to do it definitely

 

[brokenshoelace]

Either Fed will show the world what he's been doing wrong all these years and finally get it, or he will choke away another loss to the gnat by employing poor strategy that fails to capitalize on superior forehand and overall talent

 

[DarthFed]

I wasn't shocked at the level from Dimitrov, he looked damn good against Goffin. I was surprised he held up mentally after set 3

 

[teddytennisfan]

i was definitely wrong for ''IGNORING " GRIGOR.

 

[DarthFed]

But at the end of the day he only made the semi, not really a positive to take out of this

 

[teddytennisfan]

IT'S A little lesson to learn -- so easy sometimes to start under-estimating someone

 

[DarthFed]

^ You peeps are just being proper

 

[teddytennisfan]

but all along grigor worked very hard too

 

[Carol]

I have to leave, work is waiting for me, a big hug for the ones which has still faith on Rafa, VAMOS!!!!!

 

[Moxie]

I'm glad that Grigor seems to be embracing his talent. I'm glad if he just didn't improve on it today.

 

[teddytennisfan]

OK CAROL -- ENJOY the day!!!

 

[brokenshoelace]

Impressive thing about Dimitrov is that despite the numbers showing a high number of backhand UE's, I thought his backhand held up well and very few of those errors looked as cheap as say, the ones Roger commits against Nadal

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Bye Carol!

 

[teddytennisfan]

hope to see you sunday -- - me too i better get to doing things. lol

 

[Moxie]

Hey, Carol, and Vamos! Hope to see you on the live chat for the final. Keep the faith.

 

[teddytennisfan]

[Tennis Fan]

Yes, he did Teddy, because he wouldn't have been able to withstand all that running and pressure. He was as fit as a fiddle.
