Wawrinka up 2 sets to 1. Good chance to knock out Novak

rafa was not very impressive today. very lucky to win the 3rd set which was very pivotal.

hope he can improve that against fed/murray. i will be rooting for fed and hoping for another FEDAL classic.

Nadal's style of play is too much for old Federer. He stands no chance, unfortunately!

As I said earlier, Dimitrov offered much more of a threat to Rafa than anyone else in the competition...

true. but i feel fed's gonna play it different this time. even in his interview after the match, he looked relax and simply thrilled about the idea of playing a semi. he is going to go all out. would be a good match.

dimitrov looks like a real talent. would be interesting to see how he copes with the likes of rafa, djoko, murray, potro in coming years.

And I think Nadal has Federer figured. In most games between the two, Nadal attacks Federer's backhand

Although I agree, I dont think Federer has got what it takes anymore. Even if he is focused and tries his best!

The game is too physical for him and Nadal's got his number on his pocket...

On Dimitrov, he is the most talented player I have seen in a decade!

true.

lets just hope its no.14 for rafa and by default no.15 (french open) goes into his kitty. :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

VAMOS RAFA.

VAMOS RAFA.

No, I will definitely be rooting for Roger (aka.The Best of All Time). But I acknowledge he is clearly the underdog...

fed is a GOAT, no doubt

but rafa's a WINNER.

i seriously dont care if rafa is always overlooked in that discussion. its just his passion and his fight that makes him so endearing.

I don't even know if we can say Fed is the GOAT. He's the most talented and technical player of all time, but I think Rafa's making a case for the greatest. 23 wins over the supposedly GOAT in 33 meetings say a lot. Also have has a winning H2H against each and every one of the top30 players in the world.

It was business as usual for him against Fed yesterday. He was really good and I hope he plays as well tomorrow against Stan. He's going to need to to win #14.

VAMOS RAFA!!!!!!!!
