Dosn't matter, 4-1 up now. Incase Rafa makes it through tonight, I see him struggling to read Anderson's serve. He's not very good when it comes to long rallies but his serve is unbelievably good this tournament.

Its actually 4-2 now. Anderson should win this set. Will be hard for PCB to come back after that.
PCB is going to look back with some regret at that passing shot he just put long at 30-40. Such tiny margins
Looking better and better for Anderson now. He's going to be a touch nut to crack going forwards.
I hate the US Open. Staying up till 5am for the start of the Nadal match 
If DelPo/Nadal can get a decent read on the serve, they should be fine. They've both got a far better game overall.
Anderson up a break in the 4th. Just needs to hold serve to finish this off now.
Really hope Anderson can hold on!
Really impressive stuff from Anderson. He's playing very similarly to how Del Potro played against Federer.
Should be a great final

Nadal targeting Del Potros backhand. But it's holding good so far.
Good to see Del Potro making Rafa work on his serve. A good sign early on.
Nadal is trying to be so aggressive, dont see that often.
JMD gets an early break.
Because Del Potro has surprised him with the backhand.
Del Potro gets the first break.
This is getting done in straight sets. He's just completely overpowering Nadal.
Nah...I think this could go at least 4. Momentum tends to swing in these types of matches.
Such disappointing anticipation on the serves from Rafa. DelPo has hit the SAME spot 4 serves in a row on that side and he's still not getting to them. He can't break DelPo and he's truggling to hold any of his service games, it's not going well.
Del Potro on his day is nearly impossible to beat.
Looks like today might be one of those days. Still remember the Olympic matchup between these 2...Del Potro was unreal.

Come on, Rafa. Wake up ffs.
Delpo getting 80% of his first serves in. Massive difference in this set.
Argie fans annoying Rafa 
What a point!
What a point.
Wowoww. What a point that was from Rafa! Delpo to serve for it now.
wow that point, my god.
Del Potro just unloading. Looks fresh.
With that backhand Delpo is top3 for sure
Bunch of monsters
Jesus Christ.
Live massacre of that bug on TV, I'm absolutely shook

Delpo takes it 6-4. He's been amazing.
Nadal's lack of change in tactics is really disappointing. He's consistently going to the backhand and it's not helping one bit. He'd be better off making him run around. It's so predictable what Nadal is doing right now even Delpo knows it.

1st Set stats fairly even so far
Nadal didn't expect Delpo to have that response with the backhand. It just gets better and better.
He also needs to stop standing next to Uncle Toni.
Which is why try something different! He's hit 3 forehand winners already this set. Going to his bh is way too predictable and Del po ready for it.
Yes! Break Nadal
Typical second set let down. Needs to break back immediately or else Rafa will take over.
Nadal playing much better when he's varying his game a bit.
Del Potro has these sort of sets. But he'd be back just like against Federer. Hard to keep the consistency he did in set 1.
Well, this is typical Nadal luck. Del Potro must be tired by now and Nadal has been playing challenger level opposition until now and he's eyeing the same for the final.
That's the 2nd set then
