Oh, it's on ESPN2, the adjacent channel (which I haven't used since we got this new set-up).

Nadal, serving at 4-5 in the third set is broken to love to lose it 4-6. Then on the first point of set four he shanks a very makeable second serve return into the tramlines and reacts by staring at his box and shouting at himself/them in a stream of frustrated Spanish. Andy Murray, who is part of the BBC commentary team for the match, reacts "It's rare to see Rafa looking at his box like that". Hyopcrit!
They do have the right commentary team in place, Murray, Andrew Cotter (Scottish) and Tim Henman (distracted).

Nadal levels, so another is going the distance. There was a potentially big service hold from Delpo at 3-5, as he saved two set points. Yes Nadal got through his next service game easily (to 15) so it didn't come close to saving the set, but that hold does mean Juan will serve first in the decider.
Rafa will still be the strong favourite, though - Delpo looks tired, which may be due to him playing a five-setter over two days (finishing yesterday) against Simon in R4, whereas Nadal looks buzzing with energy or at least is attempting to portray that of himself.Last edited by Janik; 11-07-2018, 18:42.

After around 50 minutes of what Andy Murray just described as "The greatest set of Tennis that I've ever seen live" (the last word being a bit of a caveat added after a slight pause), Nadal is going to serve for it at 5-4. Delpo has had five break points spread over the last two Nadal services games, including one where he shanked a probable winner. Here we go...
