2017 US Open Semifinals: Nadal vs. Del Potro

[rafanoy1992]

Now, can he return closer please?!

 

[Moxie]

We figured it was worth the live, since everyone was chatting.

 

[brokenshoelace]

That shot again. Why couldn't he go for it in the first fucking set?

 

[rafanoy1992]

Because he is a stubborn BULL

 

[brokenshoelace]

Sorry about the language. But it's 4 am here and I'm running on no sleep and nervous watching Nadal.

 

[Moxie]

Nadal is suddenly feeling it.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Now, that was a return

 

[Moxie]

We have no language issues here, BS. LOL.

 

[kskate2]

well it looks like now he's playing the ball instead of letting the ball play him

 

[brokenshoelace]

Nadal really raised his level and DP's shanking some costly forehands. I'll take it.

 

[britbox]

Has Delpo mentally checked out of this set?

 

[Moxie]

Not del Po, BB, Rafa has raised the level.

 

[kskate2]

i think DP is a little surprised by the level of Nadal's game now and is offering some donations

 

[Moxie]

Great shot there, though.

 

[rafanoy1992]

That rundown by Nadal in the 1st set woke him up

 

[brokenshoelace]

Most worrying thing when playing DP is even when it looks like he's down and given up (and he often has that body language) he can just casually fire up some forehand rockets and all of a sudden you're sweating again.

 

[britbox]

Yep...

 

[Moxie]

Understood, BS, and I think he's given up on this set. But Rafa is feeling it.

 

[DarthFed]

Fed lost to "this" DP. Says it all. Easy 4 setter

 

[kskate2]

i like that about DP though. It's the one shot of his arsenal that's usally firing.
