Nadal/Verdasco Tennis Match

[Furmanski]

This has been one of the best matches I have ever seen. I am not going to rank it ahead of Nadal/Federer at Wimbledon last year, but absolutely incredible shot making going on.

5th set....here we go.

amazing match...I agree with what you are saying and how you rate it!! wtf time is it there now?

 

[Furmanski]

It's just after midnight AUS time.

 

[trytrytry]

Ah thats right mate..

 

[trytrytry]

stunning shots

Verdasco is in the danger zone right now... gotta keep nadal from breaking here.

 

[trytrytry]

that could be a dagger

 

[trytrytry]

but i have a funny feeling this goes 13-11 in the 5th set

 

[Furmanski]

Wow...great hold there.

Verdasco easily has the best serve I have seen from a Spaniard. Combine the speed of the serve and the fact that he is a lefty. It's a deadly combination.

 

[Furmanski]

Verdasco has made 0 progress on Nadal's service games. That could be the difference in this final set.

 

[SC2009]

I just wish Verdasco starting serving this set... he'll have a lot of pressure if it gets into a high number of games.

 

[trytrytry]

winning the 7th game is usually a sign u will win the set somehow..lets see.

 

[Furmanski]

WOW....unreal inside out forehand to save break point.

 

[SC2009]

yep, now all the pressure is on Verdasco though... a break and the match is over... I don't know if he can deal with the pressure here.

 

[SC2009]

0-30, pretty sure Nadal will finish it off here...

 

[KennyB]

Damn, that shit was close.

 

[Furmanski]

5 hours and 14 minutes.

One hell of a match. Just a shame the way it ended. I am very interested in seeing how much Nadal has left in the tank on Sunday.
