Played on Cement surface, it was pretty much Nadal vs Nadal out there. I really don't know what to say, we both played like robots and we weren't missing when it mattered the most during the 5th. The key breakthrough I got was a *15-40, two break and match point opportunities at 7-6* in the fifth, and unfortunately at my first MP opportunity, he fired long with his forehand during a short rally. I can't believe I'm saying this, but my wrists are hurting bad from pressing the keyboard so hard for so long


It was a great marathon contest to be a part of.
Final score 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, 6-7(7), 8-6.
Typicay, should rematch soon!!
