this is exciting stuff

[TimW]

two break pts for Nadal ... Nadal is back 4-4

Nadal holds 5-4 ... three (or one if Nadal breaks??) massive games coming up.

Too many unforced errors from Fed

[TimW]

5-5 ... great game by Fed

[TimW]

Fed is moving nadal around incredibly ... interesting to see where they are taking the ball -- Nadal much deeper bedind the baseline.

15-30 chance for a break ????

30-30 aarghhhh --- GO FED

[TimW]

Nadal 6-5 -- Fed hit netcord three times in that match and all bounced back on his side.

Graphic showing where they are hitting the points -- Nadal much further back probably average of about more than a metre.

[TimW]

Another netcord

 

Nadal challenges and ball is 1mm out according to Hawkeye.

 

30-40 ... set point to Nadal

[TimW]

Deuce ...

[TimW]

Ad Fed

[TimW]

Ace -- 6-6 -- tiebreak.

 

Fed is better in a tiebreak and has the bigger serve .... but I'm not betting.

 

Anybody following this?

[D-Mike]

Eish, that's gonna hurt. Federer 1-6 down in the tie-break. I don't know if federer will be able to take it in 5. Nailbiting stuff

[TimW]

What a tiebreak

6-1 Fed looks out of it

6-2

6-3

6-4

6-5

7-5 Whew!!! Lots of Spanish sighs of relief there ... Nadal now 2-1 up in sets.

[dracs]

Aw... come on Roger!

[Grebel]

Irritated me enough after 2mins to turn it off. Imagine watching the whole match live. That screeching is a bit unnecessary don't you think?

 

+1000 I don't see how it benefits them in ANY way...

[D-Mike]

Unfortunately Nadal takes it. Congratulations to him. Don't like either Djokovic or Murray, so I'll be rooting for Nadal in the final.

Watching Nadal play is like watching my own brother competing... i get as emotional as a chick watching Boer Soek 'n Pou...lol

Vamos Rafa!! You are the greatest tennis player ever...
