To Nadal they do not stop nor the mareos
Rafa Nadal dominated the Youzhny Russian in the quarterfinals of the Masters Series of Rome in spite of the mareos that had forced to him to go in the morning to a hospital. On the other hand, the Italian Filippo Volandri has given to the great surprise in the Masters Series of Rome, fourth TMS of the season that is disputed on earth beaten in the Itálico Forum, when prevailing in the eighth of end to number one of the world, the Swiss Roger Federer, whom it eliminated with comfortable a 6-2 and 6-4. The other surprise in the starting of the day of Thursday signed the Argentinean Juan Ignacio Chela, who ?destroyed? with an excellent encounter to the American Andy Roddick, third favorite, to whom it defeated by 6-0 and 6-4, in hardly sixty and nine minutes, acceding to the quarterfinals of the Masters Series of Rome 2007. On the other hand, Tommy Robredo fulfilled before Gilles Simon, to whom she defeated by a double 6-2, and she will as opposed to see them in quarters Nicolay Davydenko, that defeated to Potito Starace.
Rafa Nadal sealed his easily happens to the quarterfinals after folding to the Russian Mikhail Youzhny in two sets by a double 6-2. The manacorí, in its consecutive victory number 74 on beaten earth, did not have problems to surpass to the Russian, being forgotten therefore the small physical annoyances that forced to him to pass by the hospital to be put under several medical tests.
The Balearic one is an authentic roller and has an enormous capacity to intimidate its rivals. Youzhny was not an exception and in his first service it was surprised by the intensity and concentration of the Spanish, same from the first a last one of the points.
Youzhny gave its first serve and Nadal made it good locating itself with comfortable a 3-0 of beginning in the first sleeve. The Russian, who had gained his two last precedents with the Spanish, did not find the way to resist the effectiveness of Nadal, a player without fissures, ?round? and that finish disturbing to anyone.
And Youzhny verified it in the fourth game when after an intense peloteo a lazy one played to him the Spanish, Nadal gave back it and the answer of the Russian went to the other corner, but the Balearic one recovered with a surprising turn and later it nailed ?passing to him? sensational.
Nadal closed the first partisan with a new breakage and in the second the script repeated. The second world-wide player never lowers the guard and obtained ?break? in the first service of the Russian in the second sleeve. Nadal again dominating 3-0 and solving with masters the final games.
The manacorí, that never is lost a party in Rome or Roland Garros, gave a new sample of which right now he is unbeatable, although now waits for the Serb Novak Djokovic, fifth player world-wide and equally called to fight with the Spanish by the highest levels of world-wide tennis in the next years.
Robredo also put in quarters
Tommy Robredo classified itself for quarterfinals after comfortably surpassing to the French Gilles Simon. The one of Hostalrics did not find resistance in the Gaul thanks to its greater reliability from the bottom. The Spanish tennis player broke the party in the equator of the first sleeve when ?she hooked? two consecutive breakage in the fifth and seventh game, sufficient to score the first partisan by 6-2.
The Catalan prolonged the new two both breakage on watch and obtained ?breaks? in first serves of the Gaul in the second sleeve, encarrilando his triumph although he yielded his own service shortly after. Robredo will fight by a seat in semifinals before Davydenko, with which it maintains a negative balance, since the Russian has won to him in three of his four confrontations, although in both disputed on red clay scored a duel each one.
Chela surprised Roddick
Chela, that was lost in six of the seven occasions in which it had been moderate to Roddick, because the Argentinean had only won first, in 2002, demonstrated with a great game and notable removes the limits from the American on the beaten Earth; a surface that of course every time loves less and in the one than is not to pleasure. The Argentinean will see in quarters with the Chilean Fernando them González who fulfilled the prognosis before Nicholas Massu and won by 6-7 (4), 6-3 and 6-4.
Defeat of Federer arrived in party ominous from Helvetian, that committed 44 errors nonforced in the hour and eighteen minutes that the shock lasted, that only took advantage of one the seven balls to break the serve of its rival which it had and that solely it managed to put into play a 44% of first services, doing in addition four double lack.
On the contrary, Volandri played perfect, just by 23 errors nonforced and with 66 winning points (44 of the Swiss). But, coverall, knew to take advantage of the dreary party of Federer, too much fallón, even in easy blows. In truth, long time ago a so gray performance of the Swiss was not seen, that arrived at Rome eight days before the beginning of the match to prepare it conscientiously and that now, before its great challenge of Roland Garros, goes away with many doubts, mainly in its head.
Sweeping beginning of the Italian
The party already began of sweeping form for Volandri, that went to a 3-0, breaking in two occasions the weak today serve of Federer. The Italian maintained his serve, with certain comfort, and the Seth took before the surprise of own and strange. The reaction of Federer in the second Seth was expected. It improved something, but little more since it continued failing in excess, sending many balls outside the lines and against the network. In addition, it already lost his serve in the third game and went to tow of a Volandri more and more grown, when seeing and close possible a triumph before the world-wide number one that nobody believed few hours before.
Volandri was centered in its serve, left everything in each ball and the prize of the party took, with the 6-4 of the last Seth, in the first ball of party which it had to it.
Federer, that already in Rome has fallen twice in first round, one in second and another one in third, takes leave a match that the past saw finalist year him before Rafael Nadal and who, of course, wished to win; something that in this shock was not demonstrated.
