Battle between world No.2 Rafael Nadal and No.15 David Ferrer

It was a very exciting and entertaining match between the two Spaniards. Rafael Nadal was so fast in covering all corners on the court forcing Ferrer to play even better in order to win a point. I was very impressed by the consistent ground strokes from the 15th seed Ferrer and he eventually overcome Nadal super top spin strokes to win the match. The 4-set match last for 208min and the result was 6(3)-7, 6-4, 7-6(4), 6-2. Nadal took the first set in a tie break and Ferrer was on fire after losing the first set by winning 3 straight sets. Nadal has always been a baseliner and seldom move to the net. But i saw a difference in Nadal's game yesterday against Ferrer because he seems more confident in his net shots and volley now. Too bad that Nadal was not able to advance further to the quarterfinals in this year US Open.
