Weary Nadal set for Del Potro barrage as Djokovic prepares for Nishikori

Well Nadal has just retired from his semi v delPo...

smithinjapan, you have some nerve finally turning up to comment (with negativity of course) after declaring it “fact” that Kei’s career was done, earlier this year. Totally wrong again, weren’t you :)

he's not been on for the last few years?

Few years? Kei first slipped out of the top 10 precisely one year ago, when he was already out with injury...

Always best to prepare the excuses, I guess.

Are you saying that about the "weary" Nadal?

""When Kei is on, he's a top-five, top-10 player,"

So, he's not been on for the last few years?

"Well if Kei gets past Novak he will be utterly knackered probably"

Always best to prepare the excuses, I guess.

Whoever gets through Friday will have yet another major challenge on their hands in Sunday's final where either Novak Djokovic or Kei Nishikori will await.

Well if Kei gets past Novak he will be utterly knackered probably, but this is unlikely.

Still I hope to see Kei win the whole thing this time, even though the head suggests he will likely lose to the eventual champion again, not for the first time this season.

Naomi a set and a break up as of now, so looks likely we have the dream Serena-Naomi match-up in the women's final.
