I’m rooting for Diego here. Not against Nadal. Can’t help but love a little man with a big heart

Rain at least is in no one's control. Not like what happened in AO final this year where the roof was closed to favor fed while all others played their matches in scorching heat with roof open!!

Would love Diego to win this! Hope for a great fight from him anyway.

It's not easy being a Rafa fan..... He keeps giving heart attack

Can't believe people saying rafa faking injury, am a huge Roger federer fan but show some respect to rafa, the man played an Australian open final against Stan with blisters on his hand and took a set off him, he never fakes injuries. Always classy

Accept it Diego is playing great and rain saves rafa.....

The key was Rafa's backhand. Before the break he was hitting it in the middle of the court. After the break he actually started to hit it hard cross court. Made an instant difference. Diego was still trying to be aggressive but the balls to hit weren't there anymore

Haha...how pathetic roger fans are...silly....
how can we forget 2012 wimbeldon final against murray...andy was on roll...untill roof came nd game completely changed in favour of roger...roger is a better player than anyone under roof...both roger nd novak...thats why both have won so many atp world tour...and rafa's game is not for under roof...so he hasnt won a single atp world title...
every player has an advantahe point and a disadvantage...so what

nobody complains about roger ...why are u all after rafa ..come on..accept it that he is the one player so much passionate who has made so many successfull comebacks after so many injuries
even roger is afraid to play on clay just to defend his wmby..

but rafa never refuses to play at any court

This match will show us how well Rafa is actually going

3more matches

He can't loose a set on clay fair n square, he has to be injured

Oh i am a true nolefam but this thing that rain rescued rafa is shit....I mean it can occur any time ...delpo match is also going on(now why don't u say that rain rescued delpo too) and in '16 there were so many delays due to rain and rafa didn't even played...so keep your shit with you only and enjoy the match....the thing is diego lost his momentum..that's it.

A test for Rafas attack bcos diego defends really well

Nadal in straight sets!

Don't go down too easily Diego. Give the King a good workout! ?

I want to see a helluva good match! ?

#undecima

Yes his ego is badly bruised in the area of his forearm

He does fake injuries he tried to fake one against stan in the Australian open final when stan beat him for the first time. The whole crowd booed him.. And then walla whwn everyone thought he couldn't play out the blue won the next set with amaizin tennis.

Even the gods want rafa to win!!!

How rude can u be.. Rafa is faking his wrist and u are supporting him. What a shame!

I love the dumb Rafa fans already acting like the match is over.

All Argentinian semis would be nice!

Vamos!

To all the guyz complaining that there should be a roof, it still takes a 20 to 30 mnt break in match to open the roof properly at wimbledon and other slams as well. So you can not have a break free match in rain.

Great. It's raining again. I hate this GS. There are constant rain delays and matches are being cancelled because it's dark. Plus they haven't got a roof. The only person that likes this GS is Nadal.

The rain loves Rafa. Lol!

It rained holy water

He isn’t beating Rafa. This is Rafa, not yesterday.

To all those mourning about Rafa's luck brought by rain. Let me tell you this. Luck plays a part sometimes in all sports. So you are either lucky or not. The second thing is Rafa has no divine powers to change the weather when he's playing badly. You give Nadal too much credit on this! So just chill guys. The match hasn't been won yet.

Big 3 are legends..they somehow get a way to win if they are in good form...(and not because of luck)

Guys, the better player is winning. Let's learn to live with that. Much as I'm not a fanlot of Rafa's, I've learnt to live with his immense achievements. The man has worked hard for them and he definitely deserves them.

Says alot about non rafa fans always in rafas game comments no matter who he plays, waiting for any opportunity to diss rafa. Immature. Why don't they go comment on their fav players games... Oh wait I guess because the majority of them seem to be federer fans they can't because Rogers chickened out of facing nadal on clay. And I like federer, but does anyone think if roger seriously thought he had a chance to win RG that he wouldn't have played? It's a mental game too, fed doesn't want to get in the mindset of Nadal being able to beat him again so won't face him on clay yet rafa doesn't back down from facing fed on other surfaces
