rafa got a very tough draw this time.
wawrinka is a tough customer. the guy has incredible power off the ground. he can also serve pretty damn huge.
and now nadal has to deal with the hardest hitter on the planet. de potro is serving bigger than he ever has. being 6 foot 6 doesn't hurt if you want a massive serve.
now that this match is here, nadal has to make it work for him. dealing with del potro will prepare him best for the final but he cant spend 3+ hours on the court against him.
so that is the key for nadal. finish del potro in 2 hours and 30 minutes or less and then take his best shot in the final.
I am not waking up early to watch this one. I will just have to catch it tomorrow night on the tennis channel.
