Nestvaran set Tima – Nadalu "krompir" i samo 7 poena!

Tim je odigrao nestvarnih 20 minuta na startu njihovog okršaja u četvrtfinalu US openu, dobio svih šest gemova i protivniku prepustio samo 7 poena.

Nadalu očigledno nije odgovarao špan reketa, ukupno je 14. put dobio "krompir" u karijeri, ali nikada mu se to nije desilo nikada u četvrtfinalima Grend slemova, kao i tek drugi put na US openu.

S druge strane, Austrijanac je dobio prvi set protiv Rafe na nekom od četiri najveća turnira – zabeležio je pet asova, ukupno 13 vinera i samo dve neiznuđene greške.

Pobednik ovog meča za finale će se boriti sa Huanom Martinom del Potrom koji je u četiri seta eliminisao Džona Iznera.
