The greatest of all powergames in the history of world tennis is taking place at the Australian Open Semi finals between 2 Spaniards. Fernando Verdasco and Rafael Nadal are playing for Final's berth at the Australian Open - 2009 . Both are playing neck to neck , with uttermost power from both ends, mixed with some soft drops and super quality. At the end of 4 sets , score looks 6-7,6-4,7-6,6-7 . Its a must to watch. Its power packed mostly, seeing both of them scoring aces is like watching a action movie.Every point won is a eye feast and every point lost by the other is a close shave. In the last set they were 4 -4 .Verdasco almost lost his last 2 serves in the second and 4 th games and has come back from close breaks.But Verdasco has faultered right at the finish line, last game. Lost the last game , last serve at the Australian open. Thus Nadal proves how difficult it is to beat the champion.Verdasco sweated hard for every point and is made Nadal sweat as well.
In the last set both were going 3 - 3,no breaks yet.Whoever wins is going to trouble Federer at the finals a lot and indeed Federer's chances are very little.Nadal has been frustrating Federer in the recent past with his power shots, now comes one more power player. Its astonishing to see how this new guy, Verdasco is frustrating this power house called Nadal with some nice quality and power.
Serves are tooo good from both sides. Every point , every game and every set is spectacular.In July last year Federer and Nadal had a 5 hour battle .Now its almost more than 5 hrs (1am Melbourne ), still lots left.
I thought Nadal had the strongest of arms in the tennis world seeing him score those aces all these years. But Fernando Verdasco is genious . He is hitting so hard, that many of his first serves are being returned to the crowds by Nadal.T
his is incredible stuff by both.
