Internazionali BNL d'Italia - ATP 1000 - May 11th to May 18th

[Denis]

Is this Ferrer's evil twin?

 

[Moxie]

That was a great game from David for the break. Yes, D, he was very aggressive there.

Yup, no arguing with that. Great stuff from the energizer bunny allright.

 

[Denis]

Need to go, enjoy the rest of the match.

 

[Moxie]

I gotta go, too. Hopefully back for the end of the 3rd.

 

[Kieran]

I'm unable to see what's going on but I'm always amazed at Ferrer's energy levels and honesty of effort. No matter how he's outgunned, he makes the bigger chap work for everything...

 

[nehmeth]

Novak did want to run around on that wet court... now he has to play a third. Nice tenacity from David.

 

[nehmeth]

Incredible fight (and shotmaking) from both guys to begin this third set.

Saw this commercial on the changeover. :laydownlaughing

Good but tough hold from novak!

 

[Riotbeard]

Baffling errors by david. Can't complain though.

 

[Riotbeard]

Beautiful break from novak. Great way to spend a lunch break.

Thank you David.

Please Nole, no more gifts like in the 2nd set. :nono

No such luck... Good play from David, but you have to help to lose four points in a row on serve.

This tournament has turned out to be one of the most exciting this year, in my opinion - and there's some great matches coming up:

Rafa or Andy vs. Grigor
Novak or Daveed vs. Milos

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

I see Novak has his hands full.

 

[nehmeth]

Novak needs to commit here. A cute dropper into the net does not speak well for what's ahead.

 

[nehmeth]

I see Novak has his hands full...

... of one very feisty Ferrer.

Too many wonderful points to count.

 

[El Dude]

Wow, what a point (Novak going up 30-15 on Ferrer's serve at 3-4).

 

[Kieran]

Ferrer missed the boat at 3-3, 0-30. The margins are wafer thin...

 

[Riotbeard]

Another dumb dropper on break point!
