Excellent game.
Had £300 on Nadal @ 1.61 after going 1-0 down;
Verdy had me sweating, played excellently, like a new man
But anyone who serves 2 double faults in that last game at the very top level deserves to lose imo. Lost his bottle when it mattered most.
Yeah I agree - getting down to love - 40 on his serve put pressure on himself. He saved 2 match points then rushed his 2nd serve. Something you see club players doing on key points. He has too many flaws in his game to challenge the top 3 but he has improved immensely from 2008.
gg wp gl - Federer will now have a tired Nadal in the final with an extra days rest up his sleeve.
