Andujar played like a jar of dirt for the first half an hour or so, while Nole looked pretty sharp. He then proceeded to play his heart out in the second, hitting with nothing to lose (with a classic 0/7 BP conversion), jarring Nole somewhat. Third was a pretty standard outcome. Was a great effort from Mr. Jar :hatoff:

[MIMIC]

Andujar on fire in the 2nd (and a bit of the 3rd)

Awesome test for Novak.

 

[GSMnadal]

This man can play. Now he needs a pair of cojones to get those BP's in and save some as well

 

[Mr. Oracle]

Good warmup from a gritty opponent for the inevitable date with the lawnmower man in the final.

 

[nsidhan]

I don't think Pablo was in a mood for that hug at the net.

 

[Yves.]

very good break point conversion 5/5

 

[LastRocket]

Good fight from andujar

That can be said of anyone outside the top 10 actually. :shrug:

 

[henke007]

Andujar showed us he could play vs Nadal and today he played great. Most of the bp.s were saved by Nole.

 

[Ben.]

Jar...... Jar?

 

[EddieNero]

Too bad Pablito can produce this good shit only against Djokovic.
I can bet my house he would bend over to Nadal nicely without any fight.

 

[LocoPorElTenis]

Andujar lost the 13 bps that were played in this match :spit:

 

[MuzzahLovah]

I don't think Pablo was in a mood for that hug at the net.

But Djokovic couldn't resist. Andujar is a very sexy man.

 

[JediFed]

Djoko just about pissed this away. 8 BPs, including one in the final set.

68 percent winning on FS, isn't going to cut it. Second serve bailed Djoko out here.

 

[GSMnadal]

That can be said of anyone outside the top 3 actually. :shrug:

Doesn't make it less true. It's the big difference between them and the slamless chumps

 

[Time Violation]

Nole only 2 UEs in the 1st and leaking them off the backhand all over the places after that. Andujar fought really hard, deserved the 2nd completely, and was better than the result suggests in the 3rd

 

[Naudio Spanlatine]

Nole wasnt at his best today but he got the job done:cheerleader:

Pablo great great effort in the second unfortunately you ran outta gas but amazing effort:worship: :hug: :smooch:

 

[Voo de Mar]

Andujar was two points away from losing this match 0-6 4-6 and being bashed here for a beatdown. Good performance from him between middle of 2nd and 3rd set, but D'Joke helped a lot making pathetic mistakes at 5:4 in the 2nd set and in the tie-break.

I wonder why Djokovic in the past had fantastic tie-break record being an inferior player in respect of different things comparing to himself nowadays, currently his TB ratio is average.

I think it's mainly connected to his magnificent physical preparation, he doesn't need to focus extremely in tie-breaks as he is still far away from losing a match, he prefers to keep the highest concentration on the crucial stages of the decidng set.

 

[Sunset of Age]

Great, great fight from Andujar! WHAT a performance, after losing that first set 0-6. After that, nothing to lose, and he surely showed that. Won the 2nd set TB, and unfortunately suffered an immediate break in the 3rd set, but never gave up, in stead, kept on fighting. This guy has COJONES - Fiasco, did you watch your countryman, here? -
=> straight into my siggie. :yeah:

Eventually Djoko's talent and, moreover, experience prevailed. Still, no way near to his unbeatable form of 2011 imho, and to all who claim he'll easily deal defeat #8 to Rafa, should they both reach the final here - do you still feel that sure? :aplot:
Sure as hell I don't, and I'm not minding that at all. :angel:

 

[JediFed]

Nadal better stock up on some Big Macs before thinking about Djoko.
