Nadal ahead for the first time in the 5th set. The will to win from both these men is just unbelievable.

Get in, Rafa!

If Andy Murray had the character of either of these two.....

He'd have won a grand slam? Oh wait...

Fuck me what a point for Nadal to win.

Oh wow Rafa

b_joseph · « **Reply #286 on:** June 7, 2013, 04:28:03 pm »

Credit to Novak though because he is the only man who can push Rafa this far on the clay. He is making a habit of it now, which stands to reason as to why he is world #1.

Haha, lucky shot/good shot 30/30

This is brilliant stuff from both players.

About 4 or 5 I'd guess.

I'm not even a massive fan of him but what is the point of bringing Murray into it, he's not in this tournament for a start.

More importantly he's beaten both of these in massive grand slam matches. He may not be (quite) as a good a player as them but he's not lacking character.

child-in-time · « **Reply #292 on:** June 7, 2013, 04:30:50 pm »

I don't want this game to end, really. Superb display by both Rafa and Djokovic, can watch them play all day long.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #293 on:** June 7, 2013, 04:31:14 pm »

Why aren't their arms falling off by now? For fucks sakes...

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #294 on:** June 7, 2013, 04:36:29 pm »

Brilliant hold from Djokovic, didn't give Nadal a look in.

6-6, we go on.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #295 on:** June 7, 2013, 04:38:27 pm »

The forehand is like the hammer of Thor.

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #296 on:** June 7, 2013, 04:44:07 pm »

Fuck me, that point.

jfc · « **Reply #297 on:** June 7, 2013, 04:47:50 pm »

im a nadal fan but the way novak has improved his game on all surfaces over the years is impressive. so solid and consistent

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #298 on:** June 7, 2013, 04:48:46 pm »

We still have Tsonga v Ferrer to come after this as well, think I'll need a lie down by then!

I'm watching on a really stuttery stream. Anyone have one that's smooth and clear?

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #302 on:** June 7, 2013, 04:50:22 pm »

Djokovic is fucking up a fair few of his overheard shots.

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #303 on:** June 7, 2013, 04:51:17 pm »

3 match points!

ashleyrose-66 · « **Reply #304 on:** June 7, 2013, 04:51:44 pm »

Djokovic had a go at the Umpire in the break and now seems to have lost his concentration.

3 Match points for Nadal.

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #305 on:** June 7, 2013, 04:51:47 pm »

NADAL HAS DONE IT!

-Willo- · « **Reply #306 on:** June 7, 2013, 04:51:58 pm »

Get in

b_joseph · « **Reply #307 on:** June 7, 2013, 04:52:13 pm »

GET IN THERE YOU BEAUTY!! Never blinked!

ashleyrose-66 · « **Reply #308 on:** June 7, 2013, 04:52:29 pm »

And it's over! Nadal wins. Djokovic seemed to get really angry in the break there and lost the next game for love.

Hope it's an all Spanish affair for the final.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #314 on:** June 7, 2013, 04:55:19 pm »

Massive win this for Nadal, think he needed it more than Novak and probably wanted it more as well.

b_joseph · « **Reply #315 on:** June 7, 2013, 04:56:20 pm »

I love that these Tennis players speak a number of languages. Even though Rafa is mixing english and french

Titan · « **Reply #316 on:** June 7, 2013, 04:58:47 pm »

What a great match.

I like Ferrer but i'd love to see Tsonga reach the final of his home grand slam.

Already has the feeling of an anti-climax this match. Ferrer 3-0 up already, Tsonga needs to cut out the unforced errors.
