Thank you Rafa and Verdasco

It was a great match. What a shame someone had to lose and there was no trophy for the winner. I know many are disappppointed, that their favourite didn't win and one or two may be gloating that Verdasco did win... but it was a great match to watch. There is an extra tension when these two players meet. Also both players know each others games so well and both players play at such a high standard its possable to see the sort of tactical play that isn't often present in other matches.

So Thank you Verdasco and Rafa! I can't wait until next time that Rafa will be humbled. Hopefully in Rome or at the FO or Wimbledon and in the final not the early rounds!!!!

It was a great semifinal.

3rd Round.

ouch!

Somebody should check Verdasco's liquid bottles for traces of the you know what

great match, well played Verdasco.

Yes it was! Just wondering why a guy like Verdasco who posseses all the tools in the game had to wait for a decade or so to put up a match against Nadal

Well now he's finally got a win against his nemesis. He's already got four against Novak. Only Fed still to beat. Must be on his radar now ! Oddly, they've only played four times.

Put it down to his misspent youth.. if he had put as much effort in when he was younger as Rafa did he would doubtless have won some of the big ones. Too busy running around Madrid in his Ferrari on the pull... He has left his serious tennis too late in his career unfortunately. He sought the help he needed prior to the AO when Rafa beat him, at the Andre Agassi Academy in Las Vegas. I believe he is still friends with Andre

Atleast Verdasco had a life when growing up Nadal was used as a puppet on Uncle Toni's string since he was 8. Vamos Fernando

I seem to remember that was in answer to Jeremy´s query. Now you want to turn it into another excuse to do a bit of Nadal Bashing... sorry I wont oblige you by responding-
