    Wow, huge call there. Djo touched the net and lost the point. All even 4-4 now.

    And Nadal has broken back. I honestly don't think I've ever witnessed mental toughness like Nadal's.

    Nadal is so mentally tough! Hope he manages to hold serve here.

    Gotta say, I've got quite a bit of admiration for Nadal here. His level of self-belief is really amazing.

    Not a massive Tennis fan but fúck me!

    This is incredible. Rafa is a genius, and Djoko is so mentally strong.

    Great Tennis.

    Most of their meetings are high quality. I was surprosed to read earlier that you didn't care much for their meetings.

    Always thought that one of the toughest feats in all of sport, is to be the player who serves second in a fifth set where there is no tie breaker & goes on to win the match. The mental pressure of knowing that you have to hold serve or you are out, game after game, has to be incredibly intense.

    That was a great match. Great showcase for the game. Nadal seems like a genuinely nice lad too. Can't believe how much his English has improved! I remember his first Wimbeldon when they interviewed him and he could barely say anything!

    When Nadal held at 8-7 I went to the bathroom... came back and the match was all over! :eek::eek:

    So disappointed that Novak lost. Not for Novak, but for Jo! The final is a foregone conclusion now.

    Jaysus, bad start for Jo. I can't stand the thoughts of a Nadal/Ferrer final. It fills me with terror through the sheer bordeom and one-sidedness of it all!
