US Open - Men's Quarterfinal
4 David Ferrer d 8 Janko Tipsarevic - 63 67(5) 26 63 76(4)
That folks is a match David had no business winning.
David fought back from 1-4 down in that 5th set to force a TB and win.
I have a rule for 'instant classics' - they must be played in the Sf's or finals.
If I were to make an exception, this would be a match to make the case.
Just wow.
This is now David's 2nd US Open Sf ('07), 4th at Slam & 2nd of '12 (French).
He is a force to be considered.
After all he has a tour-tying 5 titles (with Federer) on the season.
His reward? A Sf with another Serb, Djokovic. H2H: 8-5/Novak.
But the way Novak played Juan Martin last night... Yikes is the word.
Post match: It was a very emotional match,
one of the best emotional matches of my career.
My opponent, he also deserved to win this match.
In one tie-break it's a lottery, and I had luck in important moments.
