And he did it. Nadal figths back from 1x6 to win it 9x7. Berlocq had a chance at 6x5 he will remember for years.

6x0 on the second written all over it.

Yeah, that's something Berlocq will be replaying in his mind, keeping him awake at night for years. Might need a shrink after this...

Turn out the lights. The party is over. Nice try by Berlocq though. But that TB is gonna leave a mark more permanent than any botched tattoo job.

The moment he missed that backhand passing opportunity at the tie-break, the match was over.

Berlocq took a set off Nadal at Brazil in 2013.
But 2015 Nadal is greater than 2013 Nadal.

Exactly, that's why if Nadal won the 3rd set tie-breaker versus Berdych at the AO (when Berdych led 5-1 but Nadal got it back to 5-5), then Nadal would have won the match.

What does that have to do with the price of eggs in China? Berdych won the match. In straight sets.

Isn't it time to go suck on your Nadal doll or something? Stop trolling.

Thanks for that vid. It seems that Rafa is on his way step by step. It a pleasure to watch him when he is on. Berlocq is not one of the top ten but he is a good competitor and plays well on clay.
He is going to sleep well for years thinking about that first set, he was close :rolleyes:

Nadal is one match win away from drawing level with Vilas (46 titles) for the most Open Era clay court titles.
