The match from hell a.k.a just an ordinary day in the life of one crazy Nole fan



Today Nole beat Gimeno Traver 6-2 2-6 6-3, here's the match stats for you:




Now let's go back to the beginning, shall we? The start of the match was routine for Nole; He needed to save two BP at 1-1 15-40 n the first set but that was pretty much the only mini-crises in it which he passes with flying colors. This didn't stop me from worrying every time he lost the first point on is serve and I kept thinking to myself "Are you really going to get broken by this guy???" (I thought that at 1-1 0-15 and thank God it didn't happen).  

The Second set and the first half of the third were, for me, an absolute NIGHTMERE!!! Instead of trying to rehash everything I went throw, read my comments on Nole's official forum and see for yourself how crazy I am, or more precisely, how crazy No1e makes me, lol:

20:44:
Oh no, Nole got broken smile_010 I know I shouldn't panic just yet but I'm not happy...

6-2 1-2

 20:51:
OMG, what's going on with Nole??? 4-1 to the Spanish, double break! smile_174 smile_174 smile_174
 
20:54:
Maybe I jinxed him...I wrote on twitter "of course he will win" smile_170
I delted it after 1-1 in the 1st set but maybe it still counts.

20:57:

He seems really sad still and lacks passion, motivation and joy of competing...

21: 04 (end of the 2nd set):


I'm so sad right now smile_191

21: 05 (after checking the set stats):
3 winners and 13 UFW??? That's BAD!

21: 07:
I was sure it will be an easy straight set win and now I don't see how he can win, but let's wait and see...maybe he can find something? smile_010

21: 08:
Stupid blue clay!!! smile_166 smile_166 smile_166 smile_166 smile_166

21:13:


How is this guy (Gimeno Traver) serving so well??? Wierd surface!

21:14:
I hate the crowd! Shut up! smile_166 smile_166 smile_166
 
21:16

I'm LOSING IT... smile_140  

21:21:
I think something is really wrong here but I can't put my finger on it...
 
21:22:

Nole can't lose to this guy...the haters will have a field-day! smile_166 smile_191 smile_170

 21:23:

Not smile_166 with Nole, just to make clear, only smile_166 with the haters.

21:24:

NO NO NO NO NO NO

20:26 (after Nole got to 3-2 in the 3rd set, winning two points from 30-30 to get a crucial hold imo):
No emotion from Nole, no smile, no pist pump...nothing! smile_191



And then the nightmere ended with Nole finally breaking to get to 4-2...

21:33:
THE ROAR!!! Finaly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crying with happines! smile_029

EDIT - Not really crying, but had tears of joy and relief!


21:36: 

And a fist pump for desert, I'm getting happier now...but still worried...


21:38:

5-2 Nole! More fist pumps and I can finally smile! smile_063


21:41:
Maybe I shouldn't smile yet, need to wait...



 And then it was finally over...

21:49:
So relieved Nole won but already worried about tomorrow...
 

 Well done Nole! smile_084 Thanks for winning! smile_029
