Rail nice call on pretty boy Radek, match just ended. I only saw midway through it, from what I saw very entertaining--both players played well. Radek has some nice zip on the serve, is moving beautifully and coming in on almost everything. Fernando had numerous chances to break (8 in total) including triple break point at 3-4 in the 3rd. Radek survived with a fantastic volley (he appeared dead, Gonzo should have passed him) then two huge serves to bring it to deuce. Next game, Gonzo gets tight at 30-30 with a df, Radek then breaks and serves with conviction to end the match. Nice to see Radek finally playing well, he has had a trying year
again nice call

again nice call

nice call on Nole, Rail. He, imo, next to Federer has the most complete game on tour. I cant imagine this kid not winning a GS eventually--he plays these big points HUGE (like a Lendl), no fear. Nadal was too passive all week, no where near the man we saw at IW. I'm sure Toni and he will realize this and change things--ain't beating the elite playing like that. That backhand dtl by Nole is a thing of beauty

Great hit.
Hope1, completely agree. I finally got to see a live match here. Nadal really wasn't good enough. He played some loose service games near the end and looked pretty tired. Nole managed to outrgrind him at times. His retrieving skills have always been brilliant.
Over the past few months I've read a few people insult Novak for not having any 'weapons'. I'd say being very good at pretty much everything is a weapon. When his serve is on, it's fantastic. I'd like him to win today but I think Fed may just have too much for now.
