Garcia-Lopez beats Nadal! Jarkko has a great chance to win the title
after all. I saw the last set and a half, Garcia-Lopez played great,
but there is a good chance he won't play that well tomorrow.

GL will be spent tomorrow, may beat Jarkko still.

Breakpoints won:

Nadal - 2/26
Garcia-Lopez - 1/1

Ouch. GL served great on breakpoints in 2nd set, saving 16/16...and then
went on to win tb. Rafa didn't play well in 3rd, clearly 2nd set
affected his play.

Anyway, Rafa's serve seems to have improved for good, which is bad news
for rest of the field.

Perhaps Nadal thought he's done enough to earn his 1.5 million! :) Since
when has a No.1 lost to a no., er, 53?

I watched the tiebreak onwards. Garcia-Lopez played very well, but
probably because Nadal let him. The French commentators were taliking at
length about Nadal's hair (or lack of it). Why all this attention?

Wouldn't be the first time french make such accusations, they're all
class, just like you and wkhedr.

It wasn't just accusations, I saw it with my own eyes. Unusual for a 24
year old.

There you go again. I had a friend who lost his hair at 18...and his
name was not Ljubicic or Davydenko.

Am TOTALLY going for Jarkko tomorrow... such a dedicated old school
professional who gives it all when he plays, be it a good outing form
wise or a poor one... really hoping that he can step up and play his
best tennis... Jarkko does tend to play some really good tennis in the
fall though... or has over the last 5 years or so...

His serve must have improved then being out.

Yet some posters here have been claiming opposite, that his countrymen
tank against him. Make up your mind already.

People can have different opinions, no? If some posters claim
something, someone else can claim the opposite. It is not about
"making up your mind".

The actual claim is something that is hard to agree with, especially
that "as always" part. You can't claim that he always tanks against
his countrymen...
