This has been one of the best matches I have ever seen. I am not going to rank it ahead of Nadal/Federer at Wimbledon last year, but absolutely incredible shot making going on.

5th set....here we go.

Wow...great hold there.

Verdasco easily has the best serve I have seen from a Spaniard. Combine the speed of the serve and the fact that he is a lefty. It's a deadly combination.

Verdasco has made 0 progress on Nadal's service games. That could be the difference in this final set.

I just wish Verdasco starting serving this set... he'll have a lot of pressure if it gets into a high number of games.

yep, now all the pressure is on Verdasco though... a break and the match is over... I don't know if he can deal with the pressure here.

5 hours and 14 minutes.

One hell of a match. Just a shame the way it ended. I am very interested in seeing how much Nadal has left in the tank on Sunday.
