I only watched the first set before I had to get ready & leave for work. Verdasco played pretty good, but sometimes he made stupid mistakes (in critical times, too).
I really root for him this morning, not just because I don't like Nadal, but because I genuinely liked him & wanted him to win. He had really smart hits that made Nadal just stood there helplessly.
Men's side really has tight competition. New & upcoming young players always ready to take over. I might like Verdasco more & more in the future, but I need to see him play more though.
Nadal and Verdasco's match was MAD!
Support Federer all the way....
Sometimes it's hard to love someone because you're so afraid of losing them.

Right, and it's precisely why I don't like him. As I said, in my opinion, Tennis should be about shot-making. Nadal makes very few shots. He had what? 5 winners in the first set? And keep in mind that Verdasco is not a great mover.
His court coverage is great, and he plays great defense. But it's just something really boring seeing someone run around and fetch more balls than the ball boys.
Wow, what a contrast to yesterday's match. <1/5 the length of yesterday's match, without 1/5th the excitement.
wow nadal/fed 3rd set in tie break right now

5 setter. Poor nadal. A ball boy can't be a ball boy when his legs were taken from him by his fellow spaniard.
Congrats to Nadal.
Great game for the first 4 sets....Federer not only lost to Nadal on the 5th set, but he also lost to himself.
You still can do it, Roger......as long as you believe in yourself.
damn top spins of Nadal. Fed will take the french

Seriously legendary that he pulled off another 5 setter, after facing an epic 5 setter only 1 resting day before. I know rafa is famous for his defensive capabilities, but as you see in that match he does have a wide array of shots. No Federer of course, but he relies more than just spin and fetch.
makes me feel like it's all brawn & no brain with that kind of playing.
I do admit that Nadal has significantly improved on his techniques, instead of just relying on wearing his opponents down. But I still don't like him!

I wouldn't say that exactly. Unlike Federer's dominance a few years ago where he's practically untouchable, the current era now consist of plenty of men players who are fighting to be at the top. Although he is at the top, Nadal still doesn't have the consistency that Federer had last time.
The women's side is even worse. None of the players are consistent enough.

Nadal and Fed both lost... wtf!!! o.O' well but too bad for the punters who bet on them to win.
Btw are there any azn men players in top 100 in tennis. Is there one 1 or 2 guyz. i think a jap and a guy from taiwan. Hmmm,,, cos there are now heaps of azn women playing well in the wta.
