This will be Nadal's biggest service game in the life, no?

He'd been saving THAT serve. And why?

Bad Nick at the end. Chucked his racquet, and didn't stop to sign any big balls for the kids. That's too bad. Nick has nothing to complain about in that match. (But @the AntiPusher, I still don't think this puts him back on the ATP villains list.)

Either of his SF opponents create their own set of challenges, but Rafa has to be relieved he is through with servebots for a bit... :dance2:

Either way, he definitely needs to raise his level up just a tad bit.
Rafa just needs to do more top spin serves thats all.. just practice 3/4 spin serves.. its an easy fix. it was his nerves. he just needs to management of his nerves
Fiero Did you see how Da MAN problem solved today.. Bravo Nadal

Always thought this would be tough, but Rafa figured out how to solve Nick. What everyone is seeing now is not just how well Rafa plays his own game, but how well he solves the games that others play against him. I absolutely think Kyrgios makes him nervous, and there is reason for that. IMO, with respect to @tented, Kyrgios is not JUST a servebot. He is a plus one, and he's also full of tricky shots. He just happens to have a big serve.

Vamos Rafa

Nick and his new found focus? please dont make me laugh

Nick can only concentrate for 2 sets of tennis....having a go at Ben Stiller,the crowd,the umpire
Some of his language was just gutter stuff....looking at you Nick K.
