Of all the top players, when he's off, Rafa looks the lousiest. Struggles and sweats like a swine against fellas who could be park players. But now, I think he'll fix in on the backhand and take this from here...

It's a depressing affair when Andujar is the player making the exciting shots on court.

Stop complaining and enjoy the view, that Romeo is playing well, why do you need the Beast to come out on top all the time, kinda boring:s

This would assume you're not an Andujar fan. Personally, I'm not thrilled by how Rafa is playing, but I'm very pleased for Pablo. (Though I'll be more pleased if he loses honorably. :snigger )

Well, Rafa is putting some "spite" into it, as Kieran might say. I think he's angry at himself with how he's playing. Andujar is not folding, though.

For those who claim that Nadal never gets docked for a time violation, he did there.

Not not a fan of Andujar, more a reference to the low quality of the shots if Pablo, is the exciting shot maker of the game. I am rooting for Andujar, but it has been a very boring match to watch.

My stream died and I restarted my laptop just in time to see a shank Fed would have been proud of from Nadal :D

I know you're not a fan of Andujar, and I know why you're rooting him to win. :cool: But if you find this boring, I wonder at your attention span. Not a classic match, but some really fun points.

Pablo holds for 5-4. Rafa has to hold. He has to put all of his competitive mojo into it, now.

Awesome job by Dolgopolov. I'd love to see him play Rafa in the final.

Agree...tremendous job. Everyone including the TC crew was wondering when the train would go off the tracks. It never did. Ferrer was below par however.

Ferrer is a real class act however. Onward for The Dog.

The class excludes conduct towards lines people I presume.

One bad day and you'll hear about it forever, I suppose.

To be fair, I am pretty equal opportunity when rooting for upsets if I am not a big fan of the high ranked player, not only against rafa.
