嗯...前天隨意說說...

若有人擊敗Nadal就會是條國際大新聞

沒想到竟然......一語中的

以上的標題,大概就是今明兩天大多數媒體會使用的字眼吧

是說,因為硬碟容量不足,球迷為了要錄下這段八強賽事,
還特別在昨晚把Indian Wells賽事時,Del Potro vs Nadal兩人對上的賽事刪除
當時Del Potro一路挨打,身體不適還叫了兩次的傷停吧???,
最後還很勉強的,有點灰頭土臉的,努力的把賽事打完
讓球迷還挺不忍心看下去

因為有前因,讓球迷認為這場賽事Nadal一定能夠輕鬆過關
原本還不太想看哩
哪知道, 才過了幾天而已,Del Potro就能夠地牛翻身的大變天...真有他的

足球的國家賽事週剛剛比賽完畢,或許是受到足球賽事的強烈影響
昨天雖然不是歐洲霸主西班牙 vs 南美強國 阿根廷的足球賽事,
不過在網球場中的氣氛卻十足像個足球場一樣的熱鬧

球迷睡前很聰明的設定錄四個半鐘頭是正確的決定

因為早上醒來時...

哈哈...比賽竟然還在進行中

雖然早起的鳥兒有蟲吃

不過早起看比賽的球迷......真的......吃不下早餐

因為實在太過緊張了

如果吃的話,可能會消化不良,

看著兩人最後一盤比賽,一邊看就一邊想到寶貝說他的胃痛

因為球迷一邊看,一邊胃也好緊張...

本來球迷擔心...上班前比賽比不完

一個球兩人可以對抽對打30個來回....真是oh my god!!!

萬一一直deuce來deuce去,更是沒完沒了

but....看來Nadal今天是人不是神... 逆轉勝的戲碼演不下去

最後就是如同剛才.....世界媒體所發布的英文標題上所寫的結果了


當然先來一段 He said, he said

I beat the No. 1 ... If you don't play unbelievable, you cannot beat him.
– Juan Martin Del Potro

I didn't play well during this tournament ... I didn't adapt well. I played really bad.
– Rafael Nadal

I beat him with my mind and with my game ... When we played long points, I was dominating every time.
– Juan Martin Del Potro

Wonderful for the crowd ... Terrible for me.
– Rafael Nadal


嗯...大家講話都很實在

由於,人們喜歡看好戲,
擊敗第一名 
可能是件不可能的任務,也可能是爆冷的大熱門

以下先來看圖說故事

第一次擊敗世界第一,或許會讓藍白小子的自信增強很多檔次吧


原本以為另一場八強賽事也會搶搶滾

沒想到 

4月2日這天看似西班牙的落難日

Murray這位蘇格蘭蒼白騎士, 輕輕鬆鬆就過關

四強對戰...Del Potro vs Murray

後者設定今年要奪Miami大賽冠軍的心願,有可能逐步實現
不是不看好Del Potro,
而是站在體力消耗的角度,或是精神亢奮的盛極必衰角度,
感覺上Murray兩者都立於優勢呀

從賽後的訪問就可看出Del Potro的興奮

Today, I did everything ... I served very good, and hit with my forehand with big confidence. To beat Rafa, you have to be in good shape in every part of your game, and today I did a great job.
– Juan Martin Del Potro

I knew I had to be aggressive the entire match, and Rafa doesn't like that
– Juan Martin Del Potro

I beat the No. 1 ... If you don't play unbelievable, you cannot beat him.
– Juan Martin Del Potro


其實Nadal輸一場也沒什麼大不了的
只是這場比賽真的是高潮迭起
接著的紅土賽事,大家再來等著紅土霸王好好發威就是

失敗的Nadal的賽後心聲也要聽一聽

When it was 3-0 it was an amazing tragedy ... I don't usually lose a two-break lead in the third set on hard courts. He's seventh in the world, but I don't think he played an unbelievable match.
– Rafael Nadal


Maybe it was wonderful for the crowd but it was terrible for me ... I think I played really bad all the time. That’s the truth of this match. Later when I was 3-0 up in the third I played worse…I had the match, it was amazing disaster.
– Rafael Nadal


I don't think he played one of his best matches. You'll have to ask him.
– Rafael Nadal

好,對了紀錄,也保存一些有趣論點的報導吧

Nadal's 'disaster' a great show
(By Dave George Palm Beach Post Staff Writer)

"Amazing disaster," that was Nadal's forlorn description of the 3-0 lead that he blew Thursday in the third set of a dramatic three-hour quarterfinal match.

As for Juan Martin del Potro, the Argentine slugger who outlasted the world's No. 1 player 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (3), Nadal said "I don't think he played one of his best matches. You'll have to ask him."

Finally, to summarize his overall performance in this Sony Ericsson Open, left once more for Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic or somebody else to win, Rafa said, "I think I played very bad all the time."


I'm no linguist, but it sounded like more than half the crowd at stadium court was chanting "Del-Po, Del-Po," a friendly derivative of del Potro's name. Whatever was going on, it had the sound of a soccer game in Buenos Aires and the grinding tension of a lane-merging I-95 traffic jam on the way to Crandon Park.

Forget South Beach, the neon playland that's so often associated with the event. Muscle Beach was more like it, with del Potro, a 6-foot-6 condor at the net, and Nadal, the Spanish gym dandy, pounding the ever-loving fuzz off the ball.

Del Potro's no lightweight. Already he's assured of climbing from No. 7 in the world to No. 5 in the next ranking, which means he'll jump Andy Roddick.

At 20, he's the youngest of tennis' top guns, and strong enough that one of his serves stuck solid in the webbing of the net Thursday like a bug in a zapper.

Nadal likes to mix it up, too, and let's face it, the guy is just plain cool.

Who else could get away with grabbing at the seat of his capri shorts every 30 seconds to dislodge a wedgie and still be considered an elegant and admirable example of the modern superstar? Dwyane Wade, maybe. No, not even him. They'd be laughing about it on SportsCenter.

Anyway, Thursday's match was peppered with monstrous groundstrokes from start to finish. If this was clay rather than concrete, they would have had to truck in another load between the second and third sets just to fill in the dents.

Del Potro didn't cave the way the way that Stanislas Wawrinka did in an earlier round. Nadal was shaky that night but won a pair of tiebreaker sets.

This time around Rafa was out of the match, losing the first set and trailing 2-1 in the second. Then he was in the match, ripping off four straight games to force a third set, and, at the very end, he had to turn up the heat, fighting off three match points, just to force a tiebreaker.

Through it all the Argentine fans waved their Maradona soccer jerseys, and the Spanish fans waved their Mallorca flags and, no matter what Nadal says, there was enough high-quality tennis to make Andy Murray's later 6-1, 6-2 quarterfinal win over a cramped-up Fernando Verdasco come off like a lousy exhibition.

"I played unbelievable," said del Potro, who had to shake off back-to-back aces on two of the match points that Nadal stubbornly saved. "I beat the No. 1 in the world. If you don't play unbelievable, you can't beat him."

If today's semifinal between Federer and Djokovic is half as entertaining, the men's side of this tournament will be just fine. Same goes for Sunday's final.

"Wonderful for the crowd," Nadal said of his slugfest with del Potro, "but terrible for me."

Winning on the hard courts of Indian Wells last month, though, that's something for Rafa to cherish, especially since the U.S. Open, played on this same savage surface, is the only Grand Slam he hasn't won.
This "amazing disaster" won't even be remembered by mid-summer, when Bjorn Borg's record of four straight French Open titles has been broken and another Wimbledon is on the way.

Really, who needs Key Biscayne when you hold the keys to the tennis kingdom?



以及兩篇一般的賽後報導文

Del Potro stuns Nadal at Miami ATP Masters
2009-0403 AFP/Clive Brunskill

MIAMI (AFP) - Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro stunned world number one Rafael Nadal Thursday, ousting the top-seeded Spaniard from the quarter-finals of the Miami ATP Masters 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (7/3).

In the semi-finals, the sixth-seeded del Potro will face either world number four Andy Murray of Britain or eighth-seeded Spaniard Fernando Verdasco.

Del Potro, 20, notched his first victory over Nadal in five career meetings.

They had met in the quarter-finals at Indian Wells last week, when Nadal triumphed 6-2, 6-4 en route to winning the first Masters 1000 title of the year.

Nadal, the reigning Australian Open champion, saved three match points in the 12th game of the third set to force the tiebreaker, but del Potro won the last five points of the breaker to advance.

The defeat means Nadal leaves Miami empty-handed again. He has never lifted the trophy here, with runner-up finishes in 2005 and last year his best showings.








Miami Masters - Del Potro sends Nadal toppling
Eurosport - 2009-0403

Argentine Juan Martin Del Potro scored a dramatic 6-4 3-6 7-6 victory over world number one Rafael Nadal to reach the semi-finals of the Miami Masters.

Big-serving Del Potro, who came back from 3-0 down in the third set, will face either Britain's Andy Murray for a place in the final.

The tall Argentine takes his place in the last four of a Masters event for the first time with the crowd-pleasing victory. It was also his first win over Nadal at the fifth attempt.

"Maybe it was wonderful for the crowd but it was terrible for me," said Nadal.

"I think I played really bad all the time. That's the truth of this match. Later when I was 3-0 up in the third I played worse.

"I had the match, it was amazing disaster," he added. In an atmosphere more akin to a football match, Del Potro, who lost to Nadal in Indian Wells last month, was roared on by hundreds of Argentinian fans who sensed an upset from the moment their man broke in the first set to go 5-4 up.

Having served out to win the opening set, Del Potro broke early in the second but then the 20-year-old from Tandil faced the inevitable fightback from the Spaniard, who played some powerful strokes around the court to win the second.

Nadal looked on course for victory when he broke twice early in the third to go 3-0 up but with the fans chanting his name, Del Potro, looking wild in his sleeveless shirt and headband, found the strength to mount a revival of his own.

The Argentine broke back twice to go to 3-3, levelling the set with a brilliant cross-court drive.

Both players then stuck largely to the baseline, but at 6-5 to Del Potro, Nadal had to serve to save the match and found himself 40-15 down after going to the net and putting the ball out wide to the right.

Nadal saved three match points, with an ace bringing him back to deuce, and then when Del Potro hit the net and then drove long the set was tied at 6-6.

Luck seemed to be with Nadal when at 2-2 in the tie-break his shot hit the top of the net and dropped down for a point, but once again Del Potro, celebrating every point with a fist pump, found another burst of determination and took the next five points to win.
