Rio Open, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, ATP 500

[Carol]

Cuevas holds... eventually. Nadal being pushed all the way... big service game for Rafa here.

Can you watch the match? I see the score and I can imagine how bad Rafa is still playing.....incredible but true

Cuevas breaks for 3-1.

Yes, I'm watching on the Tennis Channel. Rafa has no rhythm - he's hustling for points. Cuevas is keeping the ball very deep and been accurate. (said as he just misses a gimme). Disjointed match, but impressed by Cuevas...

Cuevas consolidates the break... 4-1 up in the second.

Rafa is down 1:4 in the second set.

 

[britbox]

It's ugly tennis from Rafa @Carol.

 

[Carol]

Thanks britbox, like I said before it's hard to believe the low level that Rafa is going through.......

If he scrapes a win out of this, he'll be thankful. Cuevas has been the better player... but hey, winning ugly is better than losing pretty.

The only time that I give my credit card number through the Internet is just when I buy an air ticket

Just wait for the countdown to end and close the message. It does say that you have to be a member, but not really. I opened the website so I could copy a link for you.

Rafa breaks back and stays alive in this set.

 

[Carol]

i think I'm going to watch a movie, this is too much stress for me......playing against Cuevas.....come on o_O

 

[britbox]

Big hold for Rafa. Rafa was lucky with that dropshot on the set point. It was a poorly executed shot , but Cuevas didn't read it until too late.

 

[Billie]

2:32 match time and not even 2nd set is done. Cuevas looks more tense than Rafa.

 

[britbox]

Cuevas takes the breaker... into a decider. Nothing less than he deserved.

2 hrs 57 minutes gone...

 

[britbox]

^Maybe 2 hrs 37, didn't take 25 mins for the breaker, so must have heard it wrong.
