Great match by Rafa today. He really needs to skip Cincy now, otherwise I don't know how he will do at the Open.

Soooo many negative Rafa fans on here! The guy's a giant! He brooks no argument, and he took on a great HC player tonight on a fast court and was magnificent!

You were right! We're not in 2011 any more. This was significant cos Ralph hasn't beaten Nole on the hards since 2010. Both players were great tonight, though, another addition to modern classics...

Great match.. This needs to be said.. Its time to stop all this bloviating talk.. There are some members on this board that just call the matches as they see it, they don't profess being the Rafa, Djoker, Federer or Nalby experts. I think if you remain in your humility and set an examples like Tented and Moxie(although, I don't always agree with her assessments but she is fair), it shows that you respect others poster instead of using this forum as a way to again bloviate your tennis knowledge and the insights of these player. Example, is there a poster who watches tennis as much as Tented, Moxie, Britbox or Kskate, Nope. I sure in the heck don't. Congrats to both players for playing a excellent match. However, it was just a MS semifinals, it wasnt the goal for this RafaFan who isnt Blind.

Djokovic gifted away the first set with double faults, cheap errors, and failing to convert break points.

Good win for Nadal - a classic Nadal win. No double faults, very few errors, and some timely offense here and there when opportunities presented themselves.
