the drama is like warm toast on a quiet Wednesday.

 

[tented]

I don't think I can watch. Serving to stay in the match is the kind of thing a non-confident Rafa can easily blow ...

 

[Denis]

Huge error by Nadal.

Yeah, his backhand passing is usually world class. Thats why I dont get why so many players go for that corner in the approach.

Big hold by Andy 5-4. Sudden death for Nadal

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

OK! Break here Andy and it's done!

 

[kskate2]

that's easier said then done Kiu

 

[Kirijax]

Why is Nadal ALWAYS the last to come off the bench? One of my pet peeves with him.

 

[kskate2]

freebie from Andy 15-0

 

[nehmeth]

Two very loose shots from Murray. You can watch now tented.

 

[kskate2]

another freebie 30-0

Because making your opponent wait gives you a psychological advantage. Thats why so many of these players are breaking the time limit rules.

 

[tented]

Fortunately Rafa has stayed aggressive. This could easily have been one of those "You mean I can hit the ball beyond the service line?" games.

3 GP's

This reminds me of one of the marathons between Rafa and Novak. I'm glad Novak isn't playing in this one.

Barely ... but the love hold helped.

 

[kskate2]

5-5

 

[Front242]

Nice dropshot.

I think Novak's & Rafa's matches are more interesting.

 

[kskate2]

0-15 on a dropper

 

[Denis]

I think Rafa will break here and end it.
