Messi Vs Ronaldo?? Both great footballers. But haters all around. Both sets of fans wanting to see other fail be at club level or national level.

Delpo keeps holding. Can see another tie break in this set.
You see it with the tennis as well but some of these fandoms are a bit much. You can enjoy your favorite player without relishing their rival failing.
3 set points for Delpo
Feck me Delpo leads 2 sets to 1. Nadal is the last person I expected to lose his serve there.
Ffs, Del Potro 2-1 up.
Some loose shots in that game from Rafa.

I'm switching over to the football now. Fingers crossed Rafa!!
Nadal 2 sets to 1 down. Not at all shocked. He's been woeful this set.
Gonna have to switch between football and tennis here.
Nadal breaks in the 4th set. He needed that. Come on del Potro
Brilliant service game from Nadal to take the 4th set 6-4. He looks pumped. Onto the 5th set.
Yeah I think Rafa will do it in 5 now. Hope DelPo can bounce back, Nole has good chances in the semi though, good for him if Rafa needs another long set.
Del Porto is still very much in it. Already up 1 in the final set.
Isner 2-1 up, first set who hasn't been decided in a tie-break. Anderson - Isner doesn't sound like a great semifinal, Nole - Rafa/Delpo probably already the final like France - Belgium in the World Cup 
This one game pretty much taking up the entire half time break

Some high quality tennis in that game Was some good stuff. Didn't end with a break though.Finally over
Will watch Rafa's service game (provided it's not as long as the last
) then back over.Second half already startedWas some good stuff. Didn't end with a break though.

Am watching the tennis on a stream.Nadal finally breaks Del Porto and leads 3-2.
Rafa with the break in the 5th. Doubt DelPo can get back in it now.
He had a chance to break right back and played an awful awful shot!
Yeah he had his chances, now Rafs with the massive 4-2, all the pressure now on DelPo.
Nadal second serve consistency has been key. DelPo still getting chances on the Nadal serve but has to take one of them
Amazing game. He is wasting so many chances. 5th deuce!
Edit:
After 6th deuce and 12 minutes, Nadal finally wins that game.

Both of these guys are going to be murdered by Djokovic. They must be shattered after this
Rafa has it, amazing game.
this set has been incredible
Here's hoping.
Del Potro v anyone on the other side of the draw would be as shite to watch as that semi final will be.
Nadal is phenomenal but for all the mindless bandwagoners who follow Fed around I find Nadal's fans unbearable-from those I've met to much of what I see online. Maybe I've unlucky experiences!
Del Potro without the injury would have made the big 4 the big 5. Sad what transpired but glad he's doing well now.
Nadal wijs. Unlucky del Potro what a player what a match
A great match!
Nadal wins after a 5 hour marathon. Del Porto had so many chances in the final set but he hit too many wayward shots.
Amazing game.
Amazing match, Del Potro definitely had his chances but Rafa held strong.
That was an insane match. Definitely didn't think Nadal has it in him to break the Del Po serve the way it was firing in the third.
Nadal has already over achieved for me at this tournament so I'm okay with whatever happens in the SF. Great to see Nadal Djoko play at a Slam again!

surprisingly good tournament from Nadal. I think he'll survive Isner and then get beaten by Djoker pretty easy. but still, great tournament.
Eh? He’s playing Djokovic next.
He will play Djokovic first
ah, I thought Isner was next opponent. 3-1 Novak then.
