Nadal vs Verdasco (warning: tennis ITT)

[kettleofish]

Anyone else see this match? Holy fuck that was awesome, I'm now about 4 hours behind in my work today, haha.

Verdasco hit 95 clean winners, against the man who gets everything back over the net, and still lost. That's gonna sting some. Match was almost better than the Federer/Nadal Wimbledon final from last year imo. Certainly less rain breaks

And fuck playing a 5 hour tennis match in that heat, night-time or not.

Yea Fed def. has to be the favorite in the finals now after that brutal match.

[Jack Sawyer]

yup, watched it until the third set. Very great game.

[bigspenda73]

40-all 5-4 Nadal in the 2nd set might have been the sickest point I've seen in a while

I can assure you this match will not hinder nadals performance..

[bigspenda73]

except that in the post-match interview he said that this match made Fed the favorite

[Mr Bigcity]

well Nadal had a super easy ride to the semis not losing a single set.. Fed struggled dropping many sets and barely made it into the quarters I believe..
Also Nadal is in insane shape and has a incredible desire to win. I put my money on Nadal without a doubt.

[Mr Bigcity]

kinda like Andy Murray was supposed to be the favorite at one point as well

[bigspenda73]

did Nadal say Murray was the favorite, b/c he said Fed. was going to be the favorite in the Finals.

Ya, that was the point when i realised i should probably stop even trying to get any work done. In fact the only real shame about the match was that the final point was a double fault.

Oh and Nadal never said Murray was the favourite, but he was the only one outta the top 3 that didn't basically splutter with laughter when asked about it. Final is gonna be close I reckon, but having an extra days rest and a straight sets semi has got to give federer the edge, especially considering he's a better hard court player than Nadal anyway. It's stupid that both semi's aren't played on the same day really.

Fuck me if i didn't fall asleep before it even started. I could've retired from poker this month with that $50
