So Mr. Enigma. Petz is hitting stunning shots crosscourt and down the line.
Injury clearly affecting him eh?

Bloody hell, even the tennis thread isn't free from 'fanboys' v 'haters'!
Well, Nadal covered a lot of grass there before Petz made the error. With supposedly busted knee and arm I want the same the trainer gave to him.
And yet in the 5th set now. That's a bit worrying.
He had 2 semi poor games against hasse and it cost him 2 sets
This will be a hard 5th set. Petz looks good on serve again
Poor poor shot there.
Umpire apparently also warned Nadal about Toni coaching from the sidelines & through the trainer! Boy Nadal is all class today!!
Worried Nadal might somehow win and reach the final and beat your man again?
Because if you are, don't worry, Nadal's not making the final this time
Another time out for Petz

Patz is cheating again the fecking scumbag
Sir Bobby 
Petz is really struggling out there
Hm. My man? I have no problem rooting for Roddick, Soderling or whoever wins Wimbey with a game. Not with a gamemanship like Nadal.
That's a pathetic way to win against even low ranked opponent. Federer won quite a lot in his career, he's just enjoying his tennis now. And I think this year Roddick deserves it most being finalist and losing to Federer all the time.
That's the worst defence of cheating there is really
These regulations have been abused so much in tennis since they were brought in, such a shame really. They'd be better off scrapping them entirely. But then the genuinely injured players are disadvantage... and so it goes
About bloody time, ace from rafa
so Becker, McEnroe, and Carillo must all be 'trolls' too, because they all say that injury timeout was pure gamesmanship.
Roddick is in Feds half of the draw. So no chance of a final this time with Rog.
yeh but he and Soderling looked the most in form players this year, wouldn't be surprised if they both make the final.
Stunning overhead down the line.
I think Nadal this time really is struggling a bit with his knee.
He was limping a bit at the start of the set.
I can't see him playing at a high level for more than 2 more years tbh.

Nadal has missed far too many of those passing shots today.
He does not look even close to breaking Petz

That would be one hell of a big hitting final
And big serving. Sod has really upped his 2nd serve. Today he was hitting 135 mph aces on second serve. His 2nd serve is right up there as best in the game along with Karlovic and Isner.
They're only speculating, the same as you and me, only one person knows for sure.
Could be his thigh, but you might be right.
It's getting more apparent now that Nadal's struggling a bit with his movement
Andrew Castle talking about Nadal struggling with his thigh. I guess he's a Nadal 'fanboy' (eurgh)
Well 2 of those are one of the biggest names in sport, wouldn't they know why would anyone pull a call for the trainer on his opponent's serve in the midle of the set? Not in between two sets when you are allowed to take a bathroom break.
Another shocking miss from Rafa. Sigh
well that doesn't seem to bother him this game at 15-0 when he ran towards the net for that passing shot.
If Nadal rips 86 mph running forehands with busted thigh then wonder what he's capable when fit.
Not unless they are also psychic, no.
Their opinions carry more weight, I'll concede that, but they are still only opinions.
Serving for match. You can not ruin this now rafa. Vamos!
4 good points needed

Nicely left. 3 match points.
game over Nadal breaks to go 5-3 up in the deciding set.
Pathetic way to win but I guess he has red the winning ugly book by Gilbert. This of course shows why Nadal would never win the sportsmanship award.

Bah. Well I suppose it was too much to hope for. Oh well.

Becker says it was a good heartfelt performance, I thought his word was gospel?
Someone please knock out Murray. Thanks.
Sir Bobby
I pretty much doubt Mac, Becker and Carillo are the only one with the same oppinion. They were those who commentated the match.
Beckers also just said Nadal is clearly physically struggling.
