Rafa is the defending champion here. I know it's an exho, but all the players try to play at their top level. It's only 5 days before the start of the season.
So, Rafa will meet Tomas Berdych in the 1/2 finals. Discuss! VAMOS RAFA!
P.S. Federer will play Soderling/Tsonga in the other SF.
I was not impressed by Rafa's level of play today. It looks like there is little to no improvement to his backhand, ROS and serve. Where did this USO and Tokyo serve go?
But that said there were some really great rallies and his forehand is as lethal as ever. In the middle of the second set he was literally killing Berdych. I hope he can build up on that mid second set.
Good luck tomorrow, champ. Every win is valuable even the exho ones.
Great start of the year for Rafa! I didn't expect to win the match, but he did it. VAMOS!
I think he surprised Federer with the way he played- he wasn't so aggressive and played not like he played in 2010. Rafa's game was at most defensive and that surprised Federer. I am happy with his game today.
Record second straight Abu Dhabi title without losing a single set! Great job! He still needs some improvement on his game. Hopefully Doha will fine tune his game!
never in doubt, nadal just needed to be fresh and fit.......nadal is the real king of this generation.......whatever federina does, nadal does better........he simply finds answers to whatever federina throws at him........
