[Kirijax]

Nishikori drops a set but wins the third 6-1 to advance to the SF! :clap

 

[Carol]

Good win by Robredo yesterday, he is still an artist and be able to make more than one upset
Vamos!!!!!! :clap

Why Nishikori walks so slowly after every point? he always looks like he has problems in his feet/legs

A good win for Martin Klizan today over Robredo.
Klizan has already a title on clay this season, he may be challenging here for a second one?

In just about 45 minutes, Andujar is up 6-1, 3-1 against F3.

 

[Fiero425]

In just about 45 minutes, Andujar is up 6-1, 3-1 against F3.

Typical; upset a top player then fail to consolidate the big win! Rafa will feel even worse now! At least Fabio should have won another round to make it not seem such an upset after winning twice over Nadal! :nono :cover :eyepop :dodgy:

You should see Fognini and Delpotro. Those two are the slowest between points I think, followed by Isner.

Great win for Pablo, the very Handsome taking the very Fabulous.

Great win for Pablo, the very Handsome taking the very Fabulous.

It's been a terrific week for the beautiful Andujar, but I strongly suspect it will come to a fatal end tomorrow against Ferrer.

Nicely done by Klizan to get to the semis, but I think his time is up, too. It looks like we're heading towards a Nishikori/Ferrer final.

 

[Carol]

I wouldn't mind if Andujar would play the final and win, he is playing pretty well until now, we'll see tomorrow :huh:

Its a common tactic to pace the game to your standard to give yourself a psychological edge for the next point.

Guess who started that nonsense....

One more round and I get my wish! :clap

Not surprised by Fickle Fabio Fognini!

I'd be really happy for Pablo is he could take this one all the way, but I guess I should root for David, as he's the more likely to spoil Kei's Sunday. (I agree about Klizan. And no offense to Kirijax, but I gotta hope for Kei to drop a few points, at least. :snicker )

Was it Novak w/ all that ball bouncing...? :snicker

Nishikori needs to do well here to stay in range for a No. 4 FO seed. He is curently tied with Berdych at No. 6. If he wins his SF, then he'll pass Raonic for No. 5. He won't pass Nadal even if he wins the tournament but at this rate it seems that it all depends on Nishikori at Madrid and Rome.

It is an open race which will be clearer after Madrid. Too many scenarios are in place, because both Rafa and Kei defend many points in Madrid. In case neither defend their points in Mardid, that opens the door for Raonic or Berdych. Let's wait how Barcelona pans out first.
