go RAFA go!!!!!!!

fair play to nadal

Vamos Mariano :bounce:

No offence to Rafa - he's a great player - but I think this is a fairy tale story for Mariano - it's probably his only chance of winning a Grand Slam (Rafa will have many more), and I want Maraino to win soooo much! :)

JMac is emphatic about this being a one-sided affair. I don't know that I totally agree with that.

Grunt king Nadal breaks!!! Now, he serves.

promising game by puerta though

:wavey:

:bigwave: Hi BG!!

Rafa consolidates the break, 2-*0

Puerta stands so far back on Nadals serve. I hope her can win.

So, BG, it's just me and you?!?!!

Puerta stands so far back on Nadals serve. I hope her can win.

Yay! Someone else came to play. :hatoff:

Yeah, you have a good point. I don't think he'll win, though.

So, BG, it\'s just me and you?!?!!

it looks that way, and the thing is i dont even like clay court tennis :shrug:

deuce

I don't think he will win either but maybe he will do a Guadio and Nadal will do a Coria.

it looks that way, and the thing is i dont even like clay court tennis :shrug:

:lol: I remember!

game point Puerta :)

Puerta opens his account.

Nadal *2-1

I don't think he will win either but maybe he will do a Guadio and Nadal will do a Coria.

I hope not! :scared:

Puerta is hitting some nice angles. He won his first game.

Puerta is hitting some nice angles. He won his first game.

Awesome angles. :)

I just want a close match, the last thing we need is another slam final blowout

Let's go, Rafa! :clap2:

good drop shot by Rafa, 15-15

puerta is a tough nut

Nadal 3-1*

who's the ump?

Rafa 3-*1

puerta is a tough nut

:yeah:

Emilita, I don't know who the ump is.

Nadal is going to kill Puerta with drop shots. Puerta stands way to far back.

2 bps :yawn:

Nadal is going to kill Puerta with drop shots. Puerta stands way to far back.

It's looking that way. Double BP, Rafa

Puerta is injured.

who's the ump?


French guy.

Puerta has called the trainer! :eek:

Oh my goodness. Puerta walks to his chair and calls the trainer. :sad:

omg...no way

trainer for puerta

He didn't finish the game or anything. I think it's his right groin. The trainer put some cream on it. JMac is talking default. I don't know about that.

is it some sort of leg injury? (i'm trying to go by net cam pics!)

Thigh taped, too. Back on court.

30-40

looks like a thigh injury

did he sustain this in this match? or did he come on with it?

saved a BP, walking slowly in between points, 30-40, fault

he will probably retire if he keeps getting dished out a lesson from nadal

angled BHs and a drop shot gives him DEUCE, Rafa's not making him run

game point Mariano

Focus, Rafa, and PLAY!

Rafa's not making him run

awww Rafa...so sweet

Puerta is moving Nadal around now.

did he sustain this in this match? or did he come on with it?


i didnt see anything during the match that would suggest he picked it up, might be a ploy just to slow this down

3-2 nadal

he will probably retire if he keeps getting dished out a lesson from nadal

I don't know. Mariano is laying into his shots more and Rafa took his foot off the gas. This could get dicey.

i didnt see anything during the match that would suggest he picked it up, might be a ploy just to slow this down

yeah i did think of that too

i didnt see anything during the match that would suggest he picked it up, might be a ploy just to slow this down

I think it's cumulative.

He seemed to get injured during one of the drop shots that Nadal hit. Puerta's coach said this is a new injury.

0-30

0-40 holy shit...COME ON RAFA

Three break points with a great lob.

NOOOOO 0-30 Rafa Triple BP Mariano; There was a commercial I gather Rafa had some DFs

COOOOMMMMEEEE OOOOONNNN RAFA!!!!!!

lol he is playing better after the injury timeout

15-40

i hope nadal crushes him in straight sets.
though i had bad dreams last night that this match goes 5 sets.
i've got a huge payout if nadal wins this match
15 units on nadal at +475 to win french open.
hope nadal doesn't fuck me like coria did last year.

15-40

30-40

Go Rafa go!

1 saved

THe break for Puerta.

fuck 3-3

FUCK.
break back nadal.
your win over roger doesn't mean jack shit if you lose this match

:mad: Puerta breaks back. 3-*3

COME ON RAFA! Take him down! :(

nice break puerta :D

this is great play now by door

3-3

keep it up

shit

does Puerta look injured at all or was that momentary timeout bs?

fight through your injury puerta!!!!! :hug:

Vamos Mariano!! Take this first set and watch Rafa crap his pantys. :lol:

This was always a possibility, 30-0

FUCK.
break back nadal.
your win over roger doesn't mean jack shit if you lose this match

i know

puerta is sort of limping!!!

fight :fiery:

puerta on fire

30-0

watch nadal lose this match

fucking injury time out...he's been better since then

Puerta is somewhat injured. He not moving fast and is limping.

puerta leads for the first time in this match

4-3*

watch nadal lose this match

oh geez :rolleyes:

Game Puerta with huge serve.

I think the injury is real, but, not major.

Mariano leads on serve *3-4

FOCUS RAFA!!!! Play your game!

Puerta is somewhat injured. He not moving fast and is limping.

yup!

but he's focusing more and seems more determined!

rafa, on the other hand, is not showing his usual fire. He's not having the start he had against fedex!!!!

Nip this in the bud, young gun!! :mad:

Puerta is somewhat injured. He not moving fast and is limping.

then i hope Rafa makes him run...don't want him to get put off by his opponent's injury like what happened to Gaudio last year...losing his serve to a crippled Coria

fucking injury time out...he's been better since then

call me a cynic but could this be a ploy to put off nadal

rafa has gone AWOL since the timeout

got to hold here

I think the injury is real, but, not major.

Mariano leads on serve *3-4

FOCUS RAFA!!!! Play your game!

I just hope he isn't like an F1 car...limping around a track for a lot of the race then suddenly blows.

I hope he can complete the match without causing himself a lot of damage.

4-4

call me a cynic but could this be a ploy to put off nadal

i thought of that...but would he try it so early on in the match???

spoke to fast. nadal is now showing his usual temperament!!

easy hold to love for him :lol:

Cmon Rafa....break and hold for the set....show Puerta how things are gonna be going today

nice hold by Rafa...now BREAK HIM HERE!

Nadal used Puerta's injury. Didn't run for a lot of balls.

good serving by puerta has got him back into this match

puerta bashing the ball, trying to keep points short. working so far :D

Sick angles again from Puerta.

holds to love, wtf :(

another good service game by door

5-4

i wish Rafa would make him run and make the points longer

COME ON RAFA!!!! GET ON YOUR GAME!!

i wish Rafa would make him run and make the points longer

Again, lucky net cord, 40-0

Game Nadal. Puerta didn't run to drop shot.

A lot of hard hitting from puerta but tried the drops hot and Nadal hit a winner.

Puerta is so bad a volleys and that is hurting him.

nadal played him this year.
he should be used to it

1-2 hours against one player during a year in which he plays a crapload of other players, doesnt mean he's going to get straight back into that kind of shape the moment he steps out against Puerta....its taking a little too long

FUCK!!!!!

Amazing defense from both players.

thanks for nothing nadal
roger, why did you have to lose to him.
at least he wouldn\'t have choked in the final vs puerta
