Wawrinka from the brinka back to 5-6. Watch him double fault here! :snicker

re-edit: 7-6 Stan.

 

[Denis]

Good stuff from Stan. Still one sp for Nadal.

 

[Kieran]

Bloody hell, Stan is channeling Sampras... :cover

 

[DarthFed]

Nadal is getting worse than Ferrer with the grunting. Clearly he's struggling.

I noticed that too, and he's also brought out the "grunt a full second after I hit the shot" trick.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

6-6...............yikes.

 

[crystalfire]

stan throwin the frickin sink at him

 

[Kieran]

Seriously, this is why it's a great sport...and a miserable sport!

An extraordinary tiebreak...

 

[Front242]

What amazing play from Wawrinka there.

 

[Denis]

Man, that was a thrilling tie-break!

 

[Kirijax]

Stan the Man Wowrinka! How did he DO THAT?!!!

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Well played Stan. The guy has been playing positive tennis all night. Gutsy comeback in the TB.

 

[Johnsteinbeck]

from 2-6. not bad. and the way he did it as well.

 

[Kieran]

Have to hand it to Stan, at 2-6 in the breaker, he was immense. But still, Rafa was twice up a break in that set, and had 4 consecutive set points. Goes down as...bad.

 

[crystalfire]

first tiebreak stan has ever won against rafa..funny it happens on clay

 

[Denis]

And Stan really took it to Nadal when down four setpoints. Five winners in a row.

 

[Puppet Master]

Nadal just lost this match.

 

[DarthFed]

That was insane. That's part of what makes Stan so dangerous and frustrating. He can go on a crazy streak for five minutes and then bring out Mr. Hyde
