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 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!
20:54:
Maybe I jinxed him...I wrote on twitter "of course he will win"
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
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?
21: 08:
Stupid blue clay!!!
21:13:
How is this guy (Gimeno Traver) serving so well??? Wierd surface!
21:14:
I hate the crowd! Shut up!
21:16
I'm LOSING IT...
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!
21:23:
Not with Nole, just to make clear, only 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!
And then the nightmere ended with Nole finally breaking to get to 4-2...
21:33:
THE ROAR!!! Finaly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crying with happines!
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!
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! Thanks for winning!
