Into a 3rd set for the first SF. ARV is up a break in decider and Pouille is receiving a MTO.

Commentators saying that because it's so warm there, the ball will spring around quite lively. How could they get it so wrong? :snicker

The Dirt :devil vs Obi Wan.. This maybe a tough matchup for Rafa ..First time match up typically troubles Nadal. Goffin backhand is a poor man's version of Novak's. Plus Goffin can change the direction of the ball almost Djokovic like..hopefully Rafa will need remember he is a lefty but he will play this match like he would versus the Serbian Slayer..

Sounds like Paul Annacone but I don't know who the other guy is

This umpire can't be that blind, can he?

Poor McFly. He loses serve after a 16min game that should have been over if not for that terrible call. Rafa holds to love and Goffin looks destitute 4-3

The umpire Cedric M most likely will gets some extra vacation time for that miscue..Obi Wan was killing the Dirt :devil up to that point.

Nadal takes the first set 6-3. McFly didn't win another game after that point mess.

Carillo said Rafa should have given the point to Goffin.

I don't understand why the linesperson didn't show the mark to the umpire. Soon as he saw Cedric looking at the wrong mark, why didn't he get out of his chair and show him the correct mark?

I think if Rafa seen it was out he would have ..I think Rafa was responding from what the line judges call and bad ruling of the umpire.

KS I don't think that a lines person is allowed to question or challenge the judgement of a higher on court officials such as an umpire. It's unfortunate
