This man is not real...
Keeps going like this could easily be a 5hr+ match.
The way Nadal is getting everything back, nothing Verdasco can do.

The point where he got the break had that huge forehand...they said it was around 175 km/h...which is ridiculous

Powerful baseline tennis at its best.

I'm praying this goes to 5 sets... match of the tournament by the proverbial country mile.

rafman takes the tiebreak, tightest match ive seen for awhile

Re: The 2nd Official 2009 Australian Open Thread

Rafa should run away with the 4th now. I was hoping Verdassssco could take the tie breaker and we could have a 5 setter.

Verdasco sounds like a very spicy sauce

Re: The 2nd Official 2009 Australian Open Thread

What an epic match. I doubt it'll go to 5 as Verdasco looks stuffed while Nadal looks like he's still got 5 sets in him. Verdasco's movement is very limited now and his footwork is starting to go.

Another point of the match. Ridiculous retrieval skills by Nadal. This is brilliant tennis.

Re: The 2nd Official 2009 Australian Open Thread

Best Tennis I've seen in ages. They've pushed the boundaries beyond I don't know. Insane. Insane. Insane. I can't believe they have actually played to this standard.

Re: The 2nd Official 2009 Australian Open Thread

This is absurd tennis.
Never seen a match quite like this.
Verdasco is playing the match of his life, but unfortunatly for him Nadal is matching it.

Re: The 2nd Official 2009 Australian Open Thread

I must admit, I was absolutely livid when Murray was knocked out by Verdasco.

I now see why he was knocked out.

Absolutely incredible by him, and Nadal has been brilliant too, but we already know how good he is.

What a match.
