dump, drop, relinquish, it's all the same right K?

I'd say that a player "dumping" his serve was in control of it and shanked it away. That wasn't the way I saw that game...

Well, how many 1st serves did he get in that game?

There must have been a memo went out regarding drop shots, and Rafa... :nono

I don't remember. How many first serves did he get in during any of his service games, yet he held them all until that one. Credit where it's due, eh? ;)

He actually served pretty well in the other games. He had 15 aces or so.

Rafa got a grip on him in that game. The point he won to get break point was incredible. I think you're being too harsh on Dolgo.

This match could still get interesting, with only one break in it...(where's my nail-bite smiley?)

Maybe, but Dog is notorious for these kind of lapses. Let's see if he breaks back

Umpire just made a lousy career choice, warning Rafa. ;)

Deuce. Close one there for Dolgo on the breaker...

Break back... not sure about the timing of the time violation. All for players getting warned but on crucial points?

I'm sure he won't be umping another Nadal match for awhile.

Rafa will kick himself if he's on a flight home tonight...

Gotta smile watching Dolgo - he's so fricken random.

Yeah, he plays the most incredible shots, never boring...
