China Open : Semi Nadal / The Fog

[Fiero425]

Rafa up 3-2 in second. I hit the sack.

In the outside event Fog wins this match, the Beijing final will be between two players who are the only ones to win four matches against Rafa in the same year.

Not sure F3 is up to it today! Spraying quite a few balls! Down another break after getting it back even! Rafa truly "gifted" today! :cover :nono :angel: :dodgy:

Looks like my gut feeling was right. Round 5 to Nadal?

Match Point saved.

Yah Nadal was a non-factor :roll eyes:

Nice lob ... again.

GSM Rafa. woo hoo.

Good for Rafa (though lucky they didn't play beat of five :snicker ). He's nowhere near the level to beat Novak but he's putting himself in the right position, which is the first move...

Congrats to Manacor's bull, Front and all Nadal's fans around the world

After "all the gifts" that Nadal gave to Fog this summer one more gift would have been too much, isn't?
Oh, by the way, sorry for those posters who were waiting for the "fourth" and "the Groundhog Day" :snicker

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Congrats to Nadal. He has now proven that he can climb all the way up and face Novak in ATP tourneys and not just face him exclusively in exhibition matches. :snicker

the vamosmobile is revved up for the final at least.

Who knows?

Maybe Rafa orders Novak a room service pizza tonight, and he is forced to withdraw ill tomorrow.

Ridiculous!
