Christmas * 3-6 7-5 3-6 7-5 4-3 Fritz
Nadal doesn’t hit, but Fritz sends the long stretch …
And then he can’t put a short ball back on the court.
0-30 …
Oh Rafa – send a long routine live.
It was an opportunity …
But he gets two break points when Fritz scores a reverse volley.
This is a surprise!
The first … saved by a great T service at 129 mph.
Second … second service … By no means! Fritz’s backhand hits the left cord … and he falls!
He has both hands raised to apologize, but inside he will dance!
So Merry Christmas: Play with Fritz and nail an envelope and then hide a drop volley under pressure.
Break point No3 … saved with great service and a simple live.
Fritz gets in front, but rushes with a live on the net …
Deuce again …
Great service. Reverse lost a lot of time from Fritz.
Another strong rally ends with Fritz’s network … another breaking point …
AND RAFA GETS IT!
A monster on the right has Fritz in the running and the half volley from the back drop seals the break!
