Serve-drive volley. Wrong thread, surely!

If it is this tight and Nico has lost a match point, then my confidence is high Nadal wins. Almagro had one shot.

Looks like Almagro got inspired by Ferrer's win.

Hope he holds it together.

Well, maybe I spoke too soon and was mistaken. I just don't have much faith in Almagro when it is tight--and this is sounding mighty tight at the moment.

Well I seen it all now! In fairness to Almagro, he played a great final set. Rafa in crisis? Too soon to panic!

Well, has Nicolas finally come through in the clutch against the Spanish Bull?

Wow. Just caught the last few points. All I can wonder is: What's up with Rafa?

Holy Moly! Almagro actually beat Nadal, in a tight match, on clay????????

I must eat my hat, as I candidly had no faith. First Ferrer and now Almagro--these other Spaniards getting tired of Nadal. Felicidades Nicolas--bien echo--y con fuerza. Ole.

Well Nico played a very good third set and it seems Rafa got a little tight and lost some confidence.
All the best to Nico's fans. :)

The funny thing is the #3 Spaniard has not yet ever beaten even the
#2 Spaniard. Today, he held it together to take out the #1 Spaniard.
