WTF just happened ?
Apparently this
[In my best Tony Soprano voice] "The feckin' brass balls on this guy."
Schwartzman takes the first! Should be a good match from here on out.
Oh wow. I was wondering if my app has stopped as it was showing A-40 for 3 minutes. Looks like he took it now tho? Good for the game!
Interesting for sure, Nadal with blisters and having to do 3 sets minimum from here.
Still like 30-70 atm but Schwartzman must be feeling good right now.

Hopefully the blisters aren't too bad and he makes it through.
I've got tickets for the final, so I'm bricking it.

Schwartzman is out Rafa-ing Rafa so far.
Like I said, not at all shocked Diego has taken Atleast one set today. Nadal's been very Average this tournament by his standard.
A bit early to be defeatist. He's only 1 set down and on serve in the 2nd.
Really enjoying this so far. Maybe that's what you need to really enjoy Nadal at RG; the other guy going 2 sets up so it's fair fight.
Wow that's an absolutely embarrassing game from Rafa. From 40-15 to hit error after error and get broken. Pathetic
What is up with Nadals forehand today? So weak and he can’t put away simple winners.
Diego with an even worse game than Nadal from 40-0.
5 breaks of serve for Schwartzman already in this match.
Are they going to trade breaks all the way to a tb?
And Diego breaks again. It's actually embarrassing watching this right now. Most cowardly I've seen Nadal play in years.
fecking hell....rain delay. 
In what sense is it cowardly? He's going for his shots, they just aren't coming off for him and, unfortunately, Schwartzman is playing out of his mind.
He is SO passive. Just hitting and waiting for errors from Diego that aren't coming. Every shot he's hitting is so so short it's just waiting to be smashed. Diego really isn't playing out of his mind imo. He's been good but Nadal's been absolutely mediocre.
When was the last time when we had four semi-finalists with the grand total of .... 1 grand slam win between them?
2004 was the last time there was not one of the Big 4 in a sf. Think it's going to happen today.
Personally, I disagree. He's hitting short because Schwartzman is so deep. And fwiw, I think you're underestimating just how difficult it is to play like this v Nadal.
If Cilic wins it will be 0 slams among the 4 semi finalists
Won US Open.
Cilic won the US Open vs Nishikori in 2014 (unsure on the year)
I reckon Nadal will break immediately.
Really wish they'd gone off at 2-2
And then get broken...
What a stupid stupid error from Argentinian.
Which one?
One that led to ADV Nadal. It was going out, and he missed a smash.
There’s two Argentines playing at the moment!
Can't believe Diego missed that. Nadal finally pumped and actually attacking. Much much better.
Nadals pushing Schwartzman back now. He can’t hit the winners now.
So much of Schwartzman's good work is going to be undone in 15 mins.
Ffs rain again.
