Diego is terrific, really enjoying seeing him. Hope he keeps this up for the next 2-3 years and he could win this slam.

Diego gets a game
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 13:50 (three years ago) link
Serves are kept but Nadal is stretched to a set point, adv, incredible rally and winner there
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 14:06 (three years ago) link
another punishing rally and this set is not over, Nadal made a drop shot for another sp
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 14:08 (three years ago) link
10+ mins and Nadal gets that 1st set: 6-3
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 14:09 (three years ago) link
We've been here many times before but I don't think I've seen someone pull Rafa apart on clay as much as this (can't remember what it was like when he lost to Djoko), but Diego took a while to find himself on his own service game.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 14:10 (three years ago) link
Breaks again, Rafa! Its a more entertaining match tho'
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 14:24 (three years ago) link
Ridiculous that they’re still not using Hawkeye on clay.
― Roz, Friday, 9 October 2020 14:31 (three years ago) link
Good hold for Diego, still in the set.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 14:34 (three years ago) link
wow!!
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 14:36 (three years ago) link
squash shot magic diego!
at the next a net cord pushes Diego's shot over the line then Nadal was ruthless at the end - holds!
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 14:40 (three years ago) link
0-40 now, terrific how Nadal just broke his spirits with that hold
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 14:43 (three years ago) link
Saves them all, an ace among them but still work to do
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 14:44 (three years ago) link
an ue from Nadal, so still in this..
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 14:45 (three years ago) link
excellent hold though still a break down.
― Roz, Friday, 9 October 2020 14:46 (three years ago) link
But finally broken, we have been here many times..
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 14:56 (three years ago) link
indeed, this is a very Nadal match.
― Roz, Friday, 9 October 2020 14:57 (three years ago) link
Feeling broken too, like Diego
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 15:12 (three years ago) link
my god that last pass would’ve been amazing if he had made it. but alas, nothing’s going Diego’s way
― Roz, Friday, 9 October 2020 15:17 (three years ago) link
prob too late but Schwartzman breaks back and we’re on serve in the third.
― Roz, Friday, 9 October 2020 15:37 (three years ago) link
Poor Diego. Fought so hard to get that set to a TB only for Rafa to do what Rafa does. Still an incredible match, hope Schwartzman sticks around for a long time.
― Roz, Friday, 9 October 2020 16:17 (three years ago) link
Went to Tb, but Nadal eases through.
XP - think he can get through to a final, has a serious shot at winning this.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 16:19 (three years ago) link
Djoko got to 0-40 on his serve in the 1st game, eventually saved all and survived that, just looked again and now he's 3-0 up
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 16:58 (three years ago) link
at 4-2 now and they are both playing good stuff
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 17:12 (three years ago) link
6-3, 1-1. Djoko taking 10 mins to save himself, but like the first semi- the more established player does it (ugh)
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 17:36 (three years ago) link
0/10 bps tsi
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 18:51 (three years ago) link

― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 19:28 (three years ago) link
he did great to get out of that, on serve
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 19:30 (three years ago) link
quick hold, do expect Djoko to get it in four..
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 19:35 (three years ago) link
has two more bps to save. Stefanos did ask for the physio earlier..
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 19:37 (three years ago) link
found an amazing angle to create another bp, which is saved again!
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 19:39 (three years ago) link
brilliant bh by stefanos to set up a gp, and converts that, on serve
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 19:41 (three years ago) link
one more bp, 11th in the set
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 19:50 (three years ago) link

digging so fkn deep: 5-4
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 19:52 (three years ago) link

― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 19:57 (three years ago) link

― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 19:59 (three years ago) link
Keeps it on serve at the 5th Stefanos
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 20:09 (three years ago) link

― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 20:16 (three years ago) link
bah
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 20:23 (three years ago) link
For the first time in 13 finals, I’ll be fully behind Rafa on Sunday. Which means he’ll probably lose.
― Michael Jones, Friday, 9 October 2020 20:34 (three years ago) link
id been confident this whole tournament rafa was going to take it, over novak, but now that we're here im having doubts
