Somehow Nadal finds a way to rest for some time.
:shaking:
2-0/////
3-1 Nadal plays the ending notes of Dimitri in his racket!
அப்பாடா! ஒரு வழியா டிமிட்ரிக்கு சங்கூதியாச்சி! ஹ்ம்!
Rafael Nadal avoided becoming the latest victim of an Australian Open upset with a battling four-set win over Grigor Dimitrov.

Leander Paes and Radek Stepanek lose their doubles quarterfinal match to Michaël Llodra and Nicolas Mahut 2-6, 6-7.
Roger leads two sets to love !!! Anyone watching ?? whats happening out there ? Is Roger good or Andy bad ?
A bit of both! Murray is not playing that good, but Federer seems to be playing very good.
Nadal playing with blisters in his hand!! :shaking: :shock:

Now he seems to be struggling. Summa irunthavana sorinju vuttutu :twisted:.
Phew, wrapped it up this time. But if he is such a bundle of nerves, he can't beat the Bull. He has to see through serving out the set/match, grab break points when they are up on offer. Wonder what happened to Federer that he turned into the men's version of Novotna. :(
Marks the first time in years that only one of the top four ranked players has reached the men's semis in a grand slam. Don't even remember when was the last time. Even Wimbledon 2013 had two - Djoko and Murray - getting to the semis.
Federer gets it in 4. A match that should have been winded up in three. Off late he's been literally struggling to close out matches and this is another such instance. Its gonna be a good one come Friday. Lets see as to how that pans out.
Happy but he shud have closed match in 3rd set and saved lot of energy.
What a good hearted fellow # 4/17 BP
Hope that blister is not much of a problem in the semis. Come on Nadal
ஃபெடரர் - முரே ஆட்டத்தை பார்க்கவில்லை. ஆனால் ஸ்கோர் பார்ப்பதற்கு சிறப்பா இருக்கு. வாழ்த்துகள் ஃபெடரர்! சரியான ஃபார்ம் -ல இருக்கிறார். புது ராக்கெட், புது கோச் எனச் சொல்லிக் கொண்டாலும்,இந்த முறை ஆட்டத்தை ஃபெடரர் எதிர்கொள்ளும் முறையே ரொம்ப நல்லா இருக்கு. எனக்கென்னமோ எதிர்மறையா கமெண்டரி, விமர்சனம் பண்ற எல்லா மனிதர்களுக்காகவாவது இந்த முறை ஃபெடரர் கோப்பையை வெல்லனும் என நினைக்கிறேன். அல்லது இறுதிவரையாவது செல்லனும். :notworthy:
Very pleased with Federer's game the first 2.5 sets. He should have closed it out in 3, but nevertheless it was a very good match.
No hopes against Rafa!!
If Wawrinka let Rafa get a hand to AO trophy yesterday, Roger made sure it is safe and secure in Rafa's hands today!!
Roger is always a good friend of Rafa no!!....
Rafa has won GrandSlams with just one leg, blisters are nothing!! expecially against Roger
History says that whenever Rafa reaches the final of AO, he would have a terrible rest of the year!!
you are being very kind and generous in your choice of words :)Quote:

Resurgent Federer books dream clash with Nadal in Melbourne
"The win continued Federer’s revival after his annus horribilis of 2013,
and with new coach Stefan Edberg and a bigger racquet in his arsenal,
the Swiss master is confident he can give the top seed a shake."

Blistered Rafael Nadal into Australian Open semi-finals
"Nadal coughed up seven double-faults and conceded the deep wound was
causing him big concerns ahead of a semi-final blockbuster on Friday night..."
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/spor...-1226807933153
"blister-wracked Spaniard ". What a joke. Always we need a tag for excuse.
my 9 year old girl plays tennis. She competed and played 2 matches back to back for 4 hours in 12U juniors with blisters on hand and without even saying a word about it.
Some of these pro players like Nadal looks so immature and unprofessional to me. my respect to my 9 yr old daughter as a person grows a lot everytime I see and hear from Nadal
never came to my mind that 9 year old tennis is the same as pro-tennis. :)Quote:

Comparing Male - Female Tennis players, I asked my son's coach this question last year "We all know Serena is a powerful woman ever Women's era witnessed. To what level of Men's tennis range she can compete with?" He immediately replied "Any PRO from anywhere in this globe can easily kick her out in straight sets. Period."
:lol:
My daughter's favorite WTA player is Serena and in men's section she loves a Rafael Nadal lot because he plays very much like WTA, such as double handed backhand, grunting and whining about something always(court speed, blister injury etc..)Quote:

Ditto. The history bit is interesting but there is always time for a first occurence.
