Quick Take: David Ferrer def. Nicolás Almagro 4-6, 4-6, 7-5, 7-6(4), 6-2

By Changeover Writing Staff on January 22, 2013

Each of us has taken some time to reflect on the five-setter we witnessed earlier tonight. We went back and forth on every point, every set, every ebb and flow. Without further ado, here are our thoughts about what we saw on Rod Laver Arena from the two Spaniards:

    The really sad thing about all of this is that I was 100% ready in the third set to cheer and applaud Almagro for a stellar win, only to find myself 100% ready in the fourth set to throttle Ferrer if he let Almagro still win after all of that. It was almost as painful to watch Ferrer almost sabotage his own comeback a la Del Potro-Chardy as it was to watch Almagro’s play oscillate between the brilliant and the awful in the fourth set.

    A big shout out to you guys for having the most interesting tennis site on the web 🙂 Keep it up, youre my first goto in the morning!

    PS: Poor Nico…as you’ve said, not only are the top 4 consistent in winning, the “second tier” is consistent in choking

      Thanks MattV! You’ve made my day. Or night. Or whatever you consider this particular period of time that I am awake. The AO makes it confusing.
