Maybe you should be focusing on your man Nadal getting over Dimitrov first before turning your mind to the demolition of Federer.

A tired looking Dimitrov saves a break point and holds for 3-2.

Nadal holds to love for 3-3. 4 hours 30 minutes in he’s looking much the stronger player now after Dimitrov outplayed him for most of sets 3 & 4.

Grigor summons the energy from somewhere to hold for 4-3.

Sensational from Rafa.

Rafa was on the ropes there. What a game to save.

His will to win is incredible. Reminds me of maximus in gladiator. He does everything that is required.

Looks like that service hold from 40 -15 down for Nadal may have just finished off dimitrov.

Ah fuck off net cord

My word.

Nadal wins 6-4 in 5th Set. This final match up has the potential to split the board.

Incredible physical conditioning for Nadal to be so fresh and strong after nearly 5 hours. The younger man by 5 years noticeably wilted physically in the 5th set.

this is the happiest day of my life

That’s the biggest compliment I can pay him
