Cincinnati Quarterfinal: Federer/Nadal

[the AntiPusher]

Rafa stay on Fed backhand it will break down, he will eventually loose confidence

 

[Didi]

what a missed chance to get the BP, that was like the first MP in the rome final 2006, same line, same point

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Big hold from Rafa

 

[tented]

Big hold from 0-30

 

[nehmeth]

stolen opportunity

 

[Front242]

good hold alright

 

[Front242]

followed by the customary crooked mouth grumpy stare

 

[tented]

Im still feeling its Feds to lose. Rafas spinning his wheel, and not really going anywhere.

 

[rafanoy1992]

That was the first time in the match that Nadal looked aggressive and confident

 

[the AntiPusher]

I know BB.. Fed hasnt look this great all year.. its good to see him playing at his best

 

[Moxie]

Rafa needs to go up 2 gears.

 

[nehmeth]

Im just waiting for Fed to get "tight" as he so often seems to when he plays Ralf

 

[ftan]

That was some serve to hold, Feds first good match in a long long time.. now if he can just finish it

 

[tented]

Agree, AP & BB. This is like a new Roger

 

[the AntiPusher]

Question.. Why is Rafa standing so farback to ROS.. WHy

 

[tented]

Rafas ros on SECOND serve is pitiful

 

[Front242]

Fed is more aerodynamic and fast thanks to the newly waxed legs. thats his secret tonight imo

 

[ftan]

oh shhh AP.. let him be

 

[tented]

Ha! Great lob.

 

[Moxie]

Case in point tented... great lob though on the next point.
