Rome Masters 2010 Semifinal: Rafael Nadal vs Ernests Gulbis

Yuhuuuu, it was a dramtic for Rafa. I saw Nadal in semi beat Ernests Gulbis from Latvia who had a strong serve... Nadal won 6-4, Gublis was nervous in the 1st game, but then he found his confidence in 2nd by win the 2nd game with 6-3, became more tense in the last game. finally Nadal won the match and goes to final after Gulbis' backhand fell in the right outside the court.

Gulbis, ranked number 40 made this match became a the hardest for Nadal, he forced Nadal to win til 3rd game, that was the 1st time Nadal lose game in 9 playing in clay court. Gulbis 3 times made an ace serves- as long as i remember :) sorry if im wrong lol

Rafa said, that was a tough match, i made a good serve but he made a serve with 200 then 215 and 220, so fast...

by the way, gulbis, he is also tall, he was the one who beat The Fed in the 1st round, in 3 sets. he will be a good tennis player i guess. gulbis said that he would made a big trouble for everyone, especially for top tennis player when he playing so well :) he did a good job, unknown player reached one of Master series semifinal.
His surprise was not end, he also beat Marcos Braghdatis in the next round, and then his surprises ended in semi. but yeah, he is good, very good for someone ranked 40.


In the final, Rafa will face David Ferrer... another all Spaniard final. after Monte Carlo Masters, between Rafael Nadal vs Fernando Verdasco, now in Rome Masters, Rafael Nadal vs David ferrer, who beat Fernando Verdasco in semi.
