― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 8 October 2020 16:24 (three years ago) link
jeez Petra’s first serve was non-existent there.
― Roz, Thursday, 8 October 2020 16:24 (three years ago) link
30-30
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 8 October 2020 16:28 (three years ago) link
fuck Petra annihilated that 30-40
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 8 October 2020 16:29 (three years ago) link
fucking ue
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 8 October 2020 16:30 (three years ago) link
another ue, MP
for Petra its all or nothing. And today, its nothing
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 8 October 2020 16:31 (three years ago) link
Yet another FH error and Kenin takes it. Ah well - easily rooting for Iga in the final then.
― Roz, Thursday, 8 October 2020 16:32 (three years ago) link
Same, looking forward to it
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 8 October 2020 16:53 (three years ago) link
god rallies starting in this first game
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 13:11 (three years ago) link
10 min game, half a dozen excellent points already
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 13:17 (three years ago) link
14 mins and Nadal has finally made good on his own serve lol
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 13:19 (three years ago) link
Neither here nor there but Nadal’s baby blue and pink outfit is pretty adorable (my first time seeing him play this whole tournament).
― Roz, Friday, 9 October 2020 13:20 (three years ago) link
diego broken. :(
― Roz, Friday, 9 October 2020 13:24 (three years ago) link
Nadal breaks at first attempt, weird game, almost as if resistance by Nadal just followed with a slightly deflated serve from Diego
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 13:24 (three years ago) link
bp for break back, I know I know..
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 13:29 (three years ago) link
Sensational play from Diego, won 3 rallies in a row to break back!
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 13:30 (three years ago) link
He did it! My god, this match is going to take five hours even if Rafa wins in straights.
― Roz, Friday, 9 October 2020 13:30 (three years ago) link
Nadal breaks back again. Diego needs even more 1st serves, that's meat and drink for Rafa
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 13:36 (three years ago) link
He may not be able to hold his own serve but I’m deeply enjoying Schwartzman doing to Nadal right now what Nadal routinely does to other players. These rallies are insane.
― Roz, Friday, 9 October 2020 13:40 (three years ago) link
Nadal hit two ues and can't help to hint at a smile...serves an ace to see off that bp
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 13:43 (three years ago) link
Nadal again just sees Diego off, another ~15 min game
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 13:45 (three years ago) link
Diego is terrific, really enjoying seeing him. Hope he keeps this up for the next 2-3 years and he could win this slam.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 9 October 2020 13:46 (three years ago) link
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
