Only Ferrer can Beat Nadal - Nadal makes a mince meat of Ferrer

First topic message reminder :

Ferrer's display of tennis was utter awesome, known for his fighting spirit he is playing with something to prove and in a form of life .

Its Vintage Rafa against Spirited Ferrer, Ferrer is the only guy capable of beating this Rafa at this current tournament, if Ferrer lets it go it could well be 7th RG title for Rafa.

Djokovic and Federer had a tough QF unlike Rafa, and one of them will be knocked out in the semi, on the other hand this Rafa would have knocked either of them out if he had to face them in the semi, so Djoko and Fed should have nothing to complain as Nadal will take a form beast in the semi.

For Djoko/Fed do the business in the semi and expect Ferrer to do the business in the other one, most likely Ferrer will do it.
Fed/Djoko fans should be happy that neither of their hero have to take on Rafa in the semi, so if Djoko or Fed cannot win the respective semi they simply dont deserve the title, the draw cannot become better for them now.

4 best players in the semi [nothing against Murray, but on clay Ferrer is miles ahead of him].

Go Ferrer go.

Ask anyone here at Roland Garros how they see Rafael Nadal’s semi-final against David Ferrer turning out, and there isn’t too much variation in the replies. This answer is reasonably typical: “I think you can win a set from Rafa, but there is a difference between winning a set and winning a match. Winning a match against Rafa is almost impossible.” Sounds about right. So who spoke those words? Step forward David Ferrer, assessing his own task in the last four against his good friend Rafa Nadal.

Update

Nadal makes a mince meat of David Ferrer, Ferrer came up with his B-game and Nadal played his A-game in the first set after its was 2-2 which means a disaster for Ferrer and thats what happened in the end.

I for once thought Ferrer goes into the game with positive mind set, but he bowed down once he saw the glimse of Nadal's A-game. Well done David Ferrer for sticking with your words and an impressive fight.

Poor Nadal didnt even get a practice match before the finals, this is unfair on Nadal, he is now asked to defend his crown without even a practice match.

Not sure if you could really count Rafa out if he lost a leg. You'd still think he had a chance. If he lost both legs, then may be Ferrer might take it to four or five sets - AND STILL LOSE

Lol,

Just said from Jim Courier commentating on Nadal Ferrer AO result:

"put an asterisk next to that match"

"Nadal limped to the finish line"

the comedy of life...............

Well for the claim that Ferrer can only beat Nadal, Nadal has just won the first set 6-2, and looking very intimidating in the process. It does not look good for David.

Was he wearing black that day? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKhEw7nD9C4

lol Tom...just as we said yesterday.
Nadal is just going through his paces here really.

Neil Harman disappointed by the lack of crowd.

Looks like the French tennis public voted for this match with their feet.

Why are the French borrowing our miserable weather at such an inopportune time! I guess this gives the OP time to change the title of the thread as its 'become' (not that many subscribed to it's prediction) kinda obsolete.....

IC's dreams have shattered within an hour.

Not sure why there was some support for the idea that Ferrer could give Rafa a match. Yes, Verdasco beat Rafa on ultra-fast clay in Madrid but generally Spanish players are scared stiff of Rafa and just lay down if they go anywhere near him.
Rafa is so much at home at RG that he can win without being at his best. When he turns it on then it just becomes a complete cakewalk for him. At least with the other three Slams you can make a case out for winners other than the man from Majorca.

Invisible that is what happens when the draw committees have decided that Novak will have to beat both other members of the top 3 to win a slam (AO 11) excluded and Nadal will only have to beat one. And playing on his favorite surface against guys he has been beating up since he was 14 has been entirely too easy and really has made his matches completely unwatchable.

Socal I understand Djoko had a difficult draw than Nadal but anybody would have beaten today's Federer, Fed was in no mood to play today, he knew he had no chance against Vintage Rafa in clay and decided to leave Paris as early as possible.
