ATP Masters Series 1000 Indian Wells - Quarterfinal
5 Rafael Nadal d 2 Roger Federer - 64 62
Rafa improves his mastery over Rog to 19-10 in their H2H.
And he pulled even in matches played on hard court: 6-6.
Out of respect Rafa did not celebrate this victory after match point.
It was painfully obvious that Roger was not playing at 100%.
I mean, Gimelstob used the word 'compromised' for Rog a million times.
It became a tequilla shot game in my head. So annoying.
Post match: I played a fantastic first set, in my opinion.
The second set was strange.
The second set, I think Roger didn't fight as usual.
He probably had some problems and he didn't feel enough comfortable
to keep fighting. Both of us tried to play our best. I played much better
than yesterday. My movements today were much, much better than
yesterday, so I'm very happy for that, especially after a long match
yesterday, to be able to compete well the next day.
He gets Tomas Berdych in the semis on Saturday.
Tough one but I'm going full-stop vamos.
