Santiago Giraldo Hits Shot of the Week at Acapulco

This could easily end up on Tennis Channel's year-end review.

Giraldo won the match in 3 to move onto the Sf's to face top seed Ferrer.

US Open - Men's Fourth Round

8 Fernando Verdasco d 10 David Ferrer - 57 67(8) 63 63 76(4)

Easily the best match on the men's side at the Open so far.

Shame ESPN couldn't give it more airtime. I streamed it, hope you did too.

This is the 2nd time Fern has come back from 2-sets down to win.

Spare a thought for David - the USO 4th round will haunt him (and Querrey).

Fern showed some real heart in making it 2 Qf's in a row at the Open.

This was his 12th Slam 4th round - he's now made it past in 3 of them.

And this match wasn't without its far share of drama...

Check out this unbelievable match point - which was ESPN's shot of the day:

Ha, that was lame. Sorry.

But it does look 100% better than Roger on clay. Wouldn't you agree?

And in case you missed it: the point of the match:

Rafa may have (easily) won the match but Fern won the point of the match.
