SHANGHAI ROLEX MASTERS - ATP-1000 - OCT. 6 to 13, 2013.

All right, Del Potro takes the first after a slow start from Nadal: 6 - 2. Can he keep it up?

Slight drop in form from Juan Martín. That's because I put my lucky shirt on.

DP could show Novak the door with this current form. This is better than Wimby.

The surface suits his game much better than grass but he played an unreal first set. Missed the start of set 2 running around the house doing stuff.

This match has IW written over it I am afraid.

Not sure. Delpo hasn't had much resistence this tournament.

 

[Denis]

Del Potro's backhand is starting to break down...

 

[kskate2]

That point! UNREAL

 

[Moxie]

Some point! Rafa should have put that smash away.

 

[NADAL2005RG]

Del Potro has a large fist-pump.

 

[kskate2]

I think this could be the match right here. 2 BP's for DP go up 2-1

 

[Denis]

Milimeters from the break, but he doesn't get it (yet).

 

[Front242]

Another absolute rocket from Del Potro.

 

[NADAL2005RG]

Despite the lopsided score, this match is a great tennis spectacle. The fans are receiving their money's worth.

 

[Riotbeard]

Vamos Juan!

 

[Denis]

This is an excellent match I must say. It helps that Del Potro is winning.

An extension of the 1st set but Nadal actually gets on the board early.

 

[Front242]

Most impressive thing, for me at least, has been Del Potro's ability to turn defense into offense. What a difference it makes when both his wrists are ok and his full repertoire of shots is available. In the US Open he was slicing like a butcher with his sore wrist.

Another absolute rocket from Del Potro.

I think I saw a vapour trail after that one...:speechless:

 

[Denis]

Del Potro goes up a break.

 

[NADAL2005RG]

LOL, that ball was well in. Chair ump should have seen that too.

 

[Front242]

What an awful call.

 

[kskate2]

What just happened there?
