  Y" S' t, e9 P, E- X1 k For me,  his next quarter final match with Roger Federer  will decide who is this year's champion, it is the actual championship match.

Verdasco is playing the style I like the most, full of passion, and improvised  shots. This make tennis such an enjoyable sport to watch. I still remember the last year match between him and Nadal.
What a match!

Verdasco lost  the match due to too many unforce errors and double faults.

That is the spirit  of tennis.
